The organiser of an international football tournament says he’s looking forward to the event next week.
The Tynwald Hill International Football tournament will pit Sealand, Alderney, Raetia, Tamileelam, Occitania and St Johns United against each other over four days from next Thursday.
The teams will meet at Mullen-e-Cloie and tickets are selling well.
Organiser Malcolm Blackburn says he’s confident the public is backing the competition after recent high-profile failures:
DoI facing 'huge problem' over Peel Marina silt
Harbour due to be dredged again next year
No injuries in light aircraft accident at Ronaldsway
Emergency teams responded to incident yesterday afternoon
Milntown gardens to get upgrade thanks to lottery grant
Manx Lottery Trust give £25,000 of funding
DoI to move to monthly dredging in order to protect harbour depth
Significant work to be undertaken first by specialist contractors
