Bad weather damages the Bowl

Ballafletcher to host Railway Cup final

The Island's national stadium will be closed until the New Year, after it was damaged during the bad weather of the last few days.

A number of columns which support the canopy of the spectator seating section within the Bowl have been damaged.

The facility has been shut with immediate effect on safety grounds, until engineers have carried out safety work – at a date to be confirmed in the New Year.
 
The NSC will be contacting all its hirers who have scheduled bookings and will be credited for any lost bookings until the facility has reopened.
 
The Isle of Man FA says Boxing Day's BOS Railway Cup final will take place at Ballafletcher instead, kicking off at 1pm.
