Current officials believe it could affect more than just matches
There is a 'massive concern' currently about the dwindling numbers of referees in Manx football.
The Isle of Man FA is looking to recruit more officials ahead of the new season starting in early September after a number of experienced figures have moved away from the role in the last year.
Current Manx referees, Tom Halliwell and Rob Slinger, believe if numbers don't improve it could affect the Isle of Man's football system 'massively'.
They also think it could impact more than just the games taking place on the pitch:
A referee course will be held on 12-13 August at The Bowl in Douglas for anyone interested in getting involved - for more details contact tcrowe@bhwprintgroup.com
