Bongo Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I'm playing as Hitchin, who I got to Conference south. I played there for two seasons. However, in the third season, my team got moved to conference north. I'm on 9.0.1 so this may have been fixed. Before: http://i27.tinypic.com/2h3n57d.jpg After: http://i29.tinypic.com/32znh3m.jpg p.s. don't know how to post pictures Someone help please :confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBA_Baggies Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 This happens in real life actually,if the number of teams who get relegated are all from the south or something similiar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Rudd Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 The latitude of Hitchin is 51.958; if you look at the latitudes of the teams that start off in the Conference South, you see: Worcester 52.197 Braintree 51.882 Bishop's Stortford 51.875 St Albans 51.751 Chelmsford 51.732 Maidenhead 51.525 Bromley 51.524 Hayes & Yeading 51.517 Thurrock 51.475 Newport County 51.472 Welling 51.466 Fisher 51.453 Hampton & Richmond 51.422 AFC Wimbledon 51.412 Bath, Team Bath 51.389 Weston-super-Mare 51.348 Basingstoke 51.268 Eastleigh 50.973 Havant & Waterlooville 50.853 Bognor Regis 50.787 Dorchester 50.713 Hitchin is further north than all of those except Worcester, so not surprisingly it's among the favourites to be moved up to the North if a team is needed to do so.

Mike7077 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Good post there from Jack Rudd. Pretty much clears things up. As an interesting side note, it's quite amusing that Gloucester City have been promoted to the Blue Square North while Worcester City continue to play in the Blue Square South, even though Worcester is further North than Gloucester and Cirencester (where Gloucester actually play). Why not just put Worcester in the BSN and Gloucester in the BSS? Well, there's a rule which I am not sure exists in FM (perhaps someone could clear this up) which states that a club can't be moved between the BSN and BSS more than once in a three-year period. Worcester moved from the BSN to the BSS two seasons ago, so couldn't be moved to the BSN. Therefore, poor Gloucester face gloomy trips as far North as Blyth and Workington.

Fisher26 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Im Bromley and ive just been dumped into the BSN. I mean im in ****ing Kent! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealMagpies Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 It happens a lot in the Swedish 2nd Divisions too. If you dont win promotion first time around your second, third etc seasons will be in different regional divisions. It does provide a lot of variety in opponents though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Bladesman Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Thurrock is definitely further north than Bromley According to google maps anyway... Bromley should be at 51.407. Unless either side play home games elsewhere? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs CAN move between BSN/BSS more than once in a three year period - but ONLY if they agree to it. In the Worcester / Gloucester scenario you mentioned, Worcester were offered the chance to move back north but declined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Nice contribution from the researcher there. If the Bromley lat data is incorrect, maybe you could fix it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
