FC Isle of Man announces pre-season summer festival

Trio of English clubs to visit Manx shores for three-day tournament

FC Isle of Man is set to welcome three English sides to the Island for a pre-season football festival this summer.

The Ravens will host National League North sides Chester and Radcliffe as well as Northern Premier League outfit Lancaster City for a three-day tournament at The Bowl from 19-21 July.

There are early hopes the event can attract around or upwards of 1,000 travelling fans.

FC Isle of Man's Vice-Chairman and Director of Football, Lee Dixon, believes the competition can help to keep growing the club's wider reputation whilst also providing a benefit to the local economy:

Early bird tickets for local and travelling fans are now on sale at £20 for adults and £10 for children & concessions for all four games.

Prices will increase to £24 for adults and £12 for children & concessions on 1 June.
