Oh. So you were using a gadget to beam us live updates! I didn't know you were the sort.

I started having a little look on Twitter near the end. Quite a few professional and amateur tweeters there.

 

And I'm old enough to remember the days when you didn't see the results at this level until you bought Sunday's paper.

[Smudge]

Yeah there is loads of us Twat,s about now.

[Krooner]

Fair point Smidgey. I like that name. Smidgey

Or a week later when your Cod and Chips were wrapped in them.

[Guernsey Guru]

Didn't you have to rely on the Mail Coach at the local pub when you were a lad, Smidgey ???

There seems to be a bit of confusion in this thread. The crowd was 1,870 but we were AWAY in the Isle Of Wight.

 

When Guernsey hosted the island games final at Footes Lane in 2003 we won the final 3-1. The attendance was a then capacity 6,000 see link

We did lose the final this year to the Isle of Wight 4-2 but our population is 65,000 and the Isle of Wights is 140,000 !!! ( not sour grapes just some facts ). From what I heard we deserved to win the game but thats football.

 

We have won the Island games title twice and been runners up twice. For an island with a small population we have some great talent and I can't wait for the season to start.

 

I would expect a crowd of 2,000 plus for our first home game. It could even be more. I'm sure you will all love the big crowd, warm welcome and atmosphere.

 

Good luck to all teams, I can't wait to see you all in Guernsey
