The organiser of an international football tournament says he’s looking forward to the event next week.
The Tynwald Hill International Football tournament will pit Sealand, Alderney, Raetia, Tamileelam, Occitania and St Johns United against each other over four days from next Thursday.
The teams will meet at Mullen-e-Cloie and tickets are selling well.
Organiser Malcolm Blackburn says he’s confident the public is backing the competition after recent high-profile failures:
