    Travel Advice: Isle of Man

    Ahead of our trip to the Isle of Man this weekend, please see below our initial guidance note for supporters wishing to get the most out of their time on the island around our game against FC Isle of Man on Saturday evening.
      Travel to IoM
    Supporters will be traveling via ferry direct to Douglas, or via flight into Ronaldsway Airport. The airport is situated in the south part of the island, around 9 miles along the A5 from Douglas by car.

    Head to the Isle of Man Government page for general information on the visiting the island, as well as following guidance from your travel operator on documentation required to travel and on entry to the Isle of Man.

    For more information on what to see and do whilst on the island, please head to the Visit Isle of Man page.
      The Bowl

      FC Isle of Man play their home games at the The Bowl, a 3,500 all-seater multi-purpose sports ground which was redeveloped suitable to hold the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games.

    The game will be played on an artifical surface and tickets for the game are to be purchased ahead of the game from the FC Isle of Man website.

    Hospitality tickets are also available for £45, with full details on the left.
      Home and visiting supporters will be segregated into two separate areas within the Bowl. Bury fans are directed to Gate B at the north end of the ground as indicated on the image to the right.

    Food / drink kiosks will be available, but alcohol will NOT be available inside the ground and is not permitted to be brought into the stadium.

    Stewards will be on hand at all times to advise on your needs, please abide by their requests and cooperate with staff at all times.
      Getting to The Bowl
    The Bowl is situated around a mile outside Douglus centre.

    This will be a walkable distance for most who will base themselves in Douglas for the trip, but for those who require public transport head to the Isle of Man Transport page for timetables of bus running services from Bus Vannin.

    Pick up a service to Peel (normally services 5 or 6) at Lord Street in Douglas when heading to The Bowl. Access to the timetables can be found here.
      Island Customs
    We have been passed advice from the local police in Douglas to inform supporters on customs on the island ahead of our trip to the Isle of Man this weekend.

    Laws on the island are different to those in the UK and the local police’s tolerance to public disorder is lower than that in the UK. Abiding to police instruction at all times is necessary. Arrests will be made where deemed necessary, and this will lead to summons in court.

    We wish supporters a great time on the island during your visit, but please be aware at all times about the point above. We wish to leave a positive lasting impression on the island, and request and appreciate your cooperation in doing so.

    Get behind Dave McNabb and the lads, they need you to bring home the points!

    Match Info: Cheadle Town (A), Tue 13th Feb, 7.45pm KO

    We return very quickly after our 2-2 draw with Burscough on Saturday, to take on Cheadle Town at Park Road this Tuesday evening as the NWCFL roadshow continues.

    The groups of helpers tending to the pitch early on Saturday morning helped to give the game the go ahead, but this didn’t mean a fast start for the Shakers, going in behind at the break. Catch the highlights below.

    A quick double from the front two of Briggs and Daniels at the start of the second half was just the tonic to spark Gigg Lane into life, but failing to take the chance to put the game beyond doubt came back to haunt us.

    A foul on Tom Moore in the penalty area following a corner, Dec Daniels stepped up to put away his eighth goal in Bury colours. But Burscough stopper Kier Barry, had other ideas and got down low to keep the ball out and keep the visitors in the game with half an hour to go.

    Heading into the final ten minutes, defender Ethan Darr stooped to head a looped effort out of reach of NWCFL Goalkeeper of the Month, Harry Wright and grab a share of the spoils in the process. A disappointing result which manager Dave McNabb remarked upon in his post-match interview below.
        ‘Playing Away’ – Episode Six
        Opponents – Cheadle Town
    The club was established in 1961 (as Grasmere Rovers), playing U16s Sunday league football in the Manchester & District League, developing up to U21s and winning their first championship in 1968, with a Premier Division title two seasons later.

    The club made the step up into Saturday football by entering the Manchester League in 1972, moving in Park Road Stadium ten years later. A year later and now known by its current name, the club joined the newly-formed NWCFL.

    One promotion to the top tier of the leagues was achieved in 1996, which they relinquished in 2001. With hopes high for a return to the top flight last season, the club achieved that under the stewardship of current manager Paul Marshall with a 3-1 play-off win against Sandbach United last summer.

    Town have had a tough start to life back in the Premier Division and lie in 20th going into the weekend, with nine wins and four draws from 27 games so far. A run of four losses at the end of December has been improved upon with back-to-back wins as we’ve entered 2024, winning 5-0 and 3-1 respectively at Barlick and AFC Liverpool.

    Ground: Park Road Stadium

    Address: Park Road, Cheadle, Cheshire

    Postcode: SK8 2AN
     
     
    Driving:
    If you are travelling clockwise on the M60…. Leave the motorway at junction 3 (signposted A34 Congleton) and follow the slip road. You will come to a set of lights at the end of the slip road (just before you join the A34) and then again at a main crossroads shortly afterwards. Turn left here. Follow this road (the A560) and go straight ahead at the next set of lights, taking you through Cheadle village with The White Hart pub and St Mary’s Church on the left.

    At the next set of lights at the end of Cheadle village – where the George & Dragon pub is on the right – bear right and follow the road. You will pass a BP petrol station on your left. You will need to turn right immediately after the small park on your right. This is Park Road. The ground is at the bottom of the road past the cemetery gates.

    If you are travelling anti-clockwise on the M60…. Leave the motorway at junction 2 (signposted A560 Cheadle) and follow the slip road to the end – a roundabout – where you will need to turn right. Get in the right-hand lane as you approach the traffic lights and go straight on, taking the first left after the row of shops. This is Park Road. The ground is at the bottom of the road past the cemetery gates.

    Parking: There is limited parking on Park Road itself and visitors are kindly asked NOT to park on the same side of the street as the houses. Please park on the opposite side of the road. We recommend driving down to the cemetery gates on arrival, turning around and heading back up Park Road before finding a space to park – that way you are “pointing in the right direction” for when you leave at the end of the match.

    If parking is unavailable on Park Road then you can try one of the side streets off Councillor Lane or Stockport Road (A560) and take the short walk to the ground.

    For evening kick-offs all visitors to Cheadle Town FC are kindly asked to respect our neighbours that live on Park Road and return to their vehicles quietly after the match.

    Nearest Railway: Gatley (1.4 miles) / Stockport (2.4 miles)

    Nearest Bus Route to Ground: The 11, 11A and 310 all pass the end of Park Road. Ask for Councillor Lane, Cheadle. All of these services depart from Stockport Bus Station and are relatively frequent.

    On the day: The clubhouse will be serving hot and cold drinks and alcoholic beverages on match day. The newly opened ‘Town Cafe’ offers an variety of hot and cold snacks. The Main Stand offers seating and standing that is sheltered from the elements. Toilets are located inside the clubhouse
