Isle of Man FA had proposed to start campaign several weeks earlier
Manx football clubs have voted down proposals to start the 2023/24 season several weeks earlier than usual.
The Isle of Man FA recently announced it was looking into the possibility of getting the new campaign underway on Saturday, 19 August, one day before the start of the 2023 Manx Grand Prix.
However, during the latest FA Council meeting last night (27 June) local teams voted against the suggestion.
As a result, the new Manx football season is now due to start on Saturday, 2 September.
