...Only the most miserable could begrudge a bit of government support for something that brings thousands of visitors a year to spend in our economy and also brings pleasure to lots of locals...

But the Government support for the establishment of the club was essentially zero?

Just so you know the government will be covering any short fall in costs for FC IoM this financial year. Official. 

Ah , so that’s the real reason for the 2% added to income tax.

Manx Telecom pulling out. That's a big hole in the budget gone.

Any idea how much per year they were paying them? Hope they get a replacement soon 🤞

They miffed a few off too by changing the "concession" age ticket price for the forthcoming season without saying anything (Used to be 60. Now 65).

2 people I know had season tickets aren't renewing this season and will likely go to less games as a result of individual purchasing. Others on Facebook also raised it with no reply.

They've got a full time member of staff to pay for now!

Hopefully he can generate more revenue through camps and other coaching opportunities that they were paying to I Cue to deliver

Membership price also jumped by a quarter for the year ahead :(

Cost of membership went up by £6.50 but includes a finest.im discount card, retail price of which is £10,  and if utilised can save the whole cost of membership!!  Stop whinging.

Also havent Kendal town been removed from the league? If so that's a lot of visiting fans not coming, second outside of Bury?

Let's ignore that it brings over 2,500 visitors to the Island mostly during slower tourist months and using DfE's own metrics, brings c. £1.4million to the local economy.

Let's ignore what it does in the community

Let's ignore the opportunities and aspirations for younger players

Let's ignore it's run almost entirely by volunteers, the players/manager/board/stewards are all unpaid.

Let's ignore that over £25k per season is actually given back to DESC for hire of the Bowl.

Let's ignore the team are fantastic ambassadors for the Island

Let's ignore £10.1m budgeted spend for Motorsport 24/25 - FCIOM underwrite is 0.5% of that.

Let's ignore.... you and your myopic, simplistic view.

380k costs , 330k income.  50k underwritten by government. Same government that does not have enough money for hospital operations…

The kind of septic post I would expect from hvibes/tinpot/bladerunner. Take note of b4mbi's post
