Green Lions fans delight at roaring Premier debut

IT WAS time to pull out the green hoodies, dust off the scarves and find the flags for many Guernsey FC fans on Saturday as the club took to the pitch for the first time this season.

And the newly-promoted local side did not disappoint the 1,185- strong crowd, beating Croydon 8-0 in the CCL Premier Division.

Among the spectators were father and son, Jeff Vidamour, 56, and Adrian Vidamour, 23.

'We come to most of their games – as much as we can,' said Mr Vidamour junior.

'I really enjoy the atmosphere and it's great to see what it has brought to the island. I think Guernsey is more recognisable in the UK now.'
