An online petition's been launched to try to get Manx football onto the international stage.

Campaign 55 wants the Isle of Man to become a full member of UEFA and have its own international side instead of being classed as a county under the English FA.

Now, the organisation has launched an online petition collecting signatures to present to the Manx Football Association.

So far, the document's picked up 100 signatures, and aims to reach 1,000.

Support the cause! RT and let's for once give the majority involved in Manx football a voice for change.https://t.co/VK4HikX2m6
