markcox7 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I have downloaded the English leagues down to level 11 and started with Swaffham in the lowest league. They are currently an amateur team so i can only offer amateur contracts. I was wondering how many divisions I'd have to move up before the club become semi pro, so i can tie some people to at least part time contracts that stops other teams stealing my players so easy! Im currently on course to make it out of tier 11 and have done very well in all the cups and have a very healthy bank balance for such a small club.

jordan07 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 most clubs go semi pro at around level 7 or 8 i think but not sure about this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Most probably BSN/BSS. Then you have to go pro at league 2. Although there isnt nothing stopping you from offering your players full time contracts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ_WWFC Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I was going to be Whickham at Level 10, but chose level 9 team Billingham Town as I wanted to be Semi-Pro. So maybe it kicks in at Level 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afced7 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I think it depends on a number of things, most importantly, is the club in a financial position to be able to offer semi pro contracts? Which is probably more important than the level a club is at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnyDonny Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Most probably BSN/BSS. Then you have to go pro at league 2. Although there isnt nothing stopping you from offering your players full time contracts. The problem is when you are an Amateur club you can't offer anything other than Am or Youth contracts. You have to wait until you are Semi-Pro to offer FT contracts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzamark Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I used bladesman's update down to level 10 and went Northallerton. I was made semi-pro on promotion to level 9 after my first season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
