FOOTBALL in Guernsey is well funded. Despite calls from soccer legend Sir Trevor Brooking yesterday that the States does not provide funding for the sport, Culture and Leisure chief officer Dave Chilton said that was not the case.
He said financial support is given by the States through the Guernsey Sports Commission, which has a football development officer, and England’s Football Association.
‘Culture and Leisure, which supports the commission, puts a lot of effort into funding all sports and football is one of the biggest in the island.’ He said in general football facilities were very good in Guernsey.
