Link Up With Blackpool F.C.
In 2008 the club linked up with English football club Blackpool as a partner club in the Seasiders Centre of Excellence which has seen Blackpool visit Union Mills and continue to work with the club, staff and players. As part of the link up Blackpool signed two players from the Isle of Man who attend the Centre of Excellence in Blackpool.
In November 2008 Blackpool staff visited Union Mills, to help train the club's coaches, and announced that they would soon be opening a Development Centre on the island.

Famous quotes containing the word link:
“This sand seemed to us the connecting link between land and water. It was a kind of water on which you could walk, and you could see the ripple-marks on its surface, produced by the winds, precisely like those at the bottom of a brook or lake. We had read that Mussulmans are permitted by the Koran to perform their ablutions in sand when they cannot get water, a necessary indulgence in Arabia, and we now understand the propriety of this provision.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
