History in the making for Guernsey FC

Guernsey FC is part of the National League System and qualified for promotion from step 5 at the end of the 2012-2013 season.

The Club was allocated to the Ryman League by the Leagues Committee of the Football Association subject to the League and the Club being able to agree the special conditions which would apply to their matches as the Club is based in the Channel Islands.

After much negotiation on both sides the League is pleased to announce that special conditions have now been agreed. The Club will be recommended to the AGM of the League for approval in the constitution for Divison One South for season 2013-2014.

The special conditions include a provision for up to 30 players and bona fie representatives of each visiting club to be provided with flights for a Saturday match at the cost of Guernsey FC. For some Clubs there will also be a provision for up to 22 members of their team and management to stay overnight at Gatwick on the Friday evening, also at the cost of Guernsey FC.

For midweek matches on the Island the host Club will be responsible for up to 30 persons to travel to the island, stay overnight and return the next morning.

The League is delighted to be the first League in the Country to welcome a Club from the islands to complete a Step 4 of the national League System.
