Community
FC Isle of Man, Director of Football Lee Dixon said on moving to Ramsey: “They’ve got a brilliant stadium, great pitch, so going down there, it’s an opportunity for us to put another tick on the list of what Paul spoke about when he originally set the club up and that it was about the Manx community.
“The Manx community is obviously not just Douglas, not just The Bowl, this is taking it out to another place like Ramsey and hopefully all the bars and restaurants and shops get to benefit from that and we’ll have a very busy Ramsey on July 17th and 19th.”
