I'm trying to find out the dates and fixtures of the games we played when we were at this tournament, I would guess it was about 12 years ago. I went to a couple of the games Peel and somewhere I think in Douglas where I'm pretty sure we beat Port vale on penalties. I have tried Google to no avail. |

Here's a bit more info.
I think that we played Rushden & Diamonds as well as Ernie Tippets team stayed in the same hotel as us.
Atkins threatens organisers
Bristol Rovers boss Ian Atkins
Bristol Rovers manager Ian Atkins threatened to withdraw his side from the Isle of Man tournament this week.
Atkins was angered that the organisers did not make sure a doctor was present in Monday's 2-2 draw with Port Vale, reports the Rovers club website.
Defender John Anderson had to have treated at hospital because of the lack of medical expertise at the game.
Atkins demanded the situation was put right before Tuesday's game with Wrexham or Rovers would withdraw.

A good time had by all over there. Flew over from John Lennon airport. Straight after the game got on a bus outside the ground with the Rushden manager (well known but can't remember his name).
Even the other half went. Luckily she went shopping while I went to the final so I could enjoy myself.

I'm really struggling to find the info, I only want it to add the matches to my 'Doingthe92' profile. My sister lived in the Isle of Man at the time, and as I had never visited her there it seemed an ideal time to do it. I'm just waiting for an Australian tour now so I can see her again  |

Ernie Tippett took over in July of that year when the tournament took place. Edit: Doh! The tournament was in 2003, so Talbot was the manager! |

Brian Talbot. That's the guy. Had a really fun chat with him and fellow gasheads.

Anderson's cut in the game at Ramsey was pretty bad, but I've seen worse. The game at Peel was a night game and the heavens opened, as usual Atkins sat at the back of the stand, though probably a wise move. The game at The Bowl in Douglas was played in glorious weather.
