FM11: English small club to big club challenge: extended edition - Levels 7-11

**daemonic** · 20-03-2011 17:51

Sun Postal Sports - npower League 1 - 2017/18

Transfers
Tried to make some improvements, partly frustration inspired signings to try to improve our poor defensive record. Also smashed our transfer record with the 300k January signing of Balic who promptly whinged about settling in England and decided to 'fix' this by moving to Burnley for 400k 6 months later.
Mason left after the board accepted a 300k bid, should have been double that at least.

npower League 1
Predicted: 24th | Final Position: WINNERS | Graph
The 4th game of the season saw us suffer only our 2nd EVER league defeat which was followed 4 games later by our 3rd EVER league defeat. This wasn't going to be as easy as previous years with the main problem being poor away form and an inability to keep a clean sheet.
Eventually however we found some consistency and managed to put some distance between ourselves and the chasing pack. Promotion was confirmed with 5 games left and the Championship 1 game later.

FA Cup - Fourth Round
A decent run including a good win over Millwall and holding Liverpool to a draw at home before they hammered us at Anfield.

League Cup - First Round
Very disappointing exit.

Johnstone Paint Trophy - WINNERS | Final
Lucky in the final as Peterborough were much the better side.

Other News
Finances - Gate receipts of 600k from the FA cup replay with Liverpool and 200k for the JPT final helped keep the finances respectable.

**maffdenton** · 24-03-2011 14:17

Aww finished 2nd , drew my last game an would of went up if i won it due to a slow start to the season , my 25k spent on players looks good i was having to pay 5k compensation for the players but they are now worth 70-80k , joint favs to go up this year , an made 130k profit last year with a 250k turn over , and i did have Weymouth as a parent club but they got relegated into my division so its been terminated

Sun Postal Sports - npower Championship - 2018/19

Transfers
Spain continues to be the best location for picking up players. The 'big' money signing was Mateo who was also received contract offers from Chelsea and Arsenal but chose us. Excellent debut season with 13 goals and 19 assists.

npower Championship
Predicted: 24th | Final Position: WINNERS | Graph
Wolves and Middlesbrough made it very difficult but we gained promotion to the top flight at the first time of asking. The number of goals conceded is still a worry.

FA Cup - Quarter Final
Good run to the Quarter Final before Liverpool demolished us in a replay.

League Cup - Second Round
Lost in the 2nd round in a crazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzy game as we scored 5 yet still managed to lose by 3.

Other News
Finances
Our new stadium paid dividends as we made a decent profit each month. Sadly whoever designed it was an idiot and only put 1800 seats in so the board are kitting it out as an all-seater and we'll ground share with Watford while this is completed.

**maffdenton** · 04-04-2011 09:17

i give up , its done it again , only some friendleys to play and one cup , no league fixtures , think its the same year again 2015

**daemonic** · 04-04-2011 16:43

I started with the Level 10 version and haven't hit any problems other than some regional cups having a higher rep than Serie A. If you have the patience to try again it may be worth starting a level higher with the Level 10 data file.

**maffdenton** · 05-04-2011 07:20

shall i delete the downloaded dater an find a lvl 10 download?

**maffdenton** · 05-04-2011 09:17

hi daemonic what are you running 11.2 or 11.3 update ? and isit the lvl 10 leagues from the rtc in editors hidaway ? really what to do this challenge

**daemonic** · 05-04-2011 09:35

Yep, the opening post of the Editor's hideout thread has links to all the data files. I'd delete the Level 11 data file, replace it with the Level 10 one and try again.

I started the game on 11.1 or 11.2, can't recall which. Still running 11.2 because there was nothing that stands out as a bug to me to make me upgrade and I won't be starting another FM11 game so the updated database is pointless too.

**maffdenton** · 05-04-2011 09:50

ok im on 11.3 so ill stick with that one going to start with Merthyr town since they are welsh an close to where i live

fingers crossed this time lol

**daemonic** · 05-04-2011 10:17

Best of luck!

**maffdenton** · 06-04-2011 17:48

thanks fella

it runs much quicker for me now i just started with the level 10 leagues

only lost one game in my 1st season with 110 for and 25 against

league table

my 2 strikers scored a load of goals between them

Players

but im losing money fast , the board had to inject 25k at one point so looks like ill be spending most my time looking for free players

**daemonic** · 06-04-2011 20:42

Great season. I topped up the bank balance in early seasons by arranging quite a few pre-season friendlies away to Foreign teams. Could make over 100k this way as long as you don't mind sedning out the reserves in a few games

**daemonic** · 06-04-2011 21:45

Sun Postal Sports - Premier League - 2019/20

Transfers
Mostly kids and players starting to slide from their peak as our max wage of 16k per week didn't allow us attract anyone else. Also lost out on a few good signings due to our max fee to agents being 400k.

Premier League
Predicted: 20th | Final Position: 6th | Graph
A slightly shaky start to the season as the team took time to gel but around Christmas we found some consistency and climbed to the right end of the table. Although we never threatened the CL places, we did settle comfortably in the top 8 and a decent end to the season meant we qualified for the Europa League.

FA Cup - WINNERS | Final
A very lucky run to the final (all home ties and then L1 surprise package Gillingham in the Semi-Final) where we edged out Manchester City after extra time.

League Cup - Quarter Final

Other News
Finances
TV money, 12m prize money for our league placing and a nice FA cup run means a healthy profit despite spending 23m on players. The board thankfully decided to spend some of it on expanding the stadium and paying off the inital debts incurred for building the stadium.

The first few seasons I just sign frees released from League clubs who are recommended by my Assistant on the Team Report screen or players recommended during Backroom staff meetings. If they are recommended on there they should be willing to sign. It was only around L1 that I had to rely more on scouts as assistant and staff recommendations weren't good enough.
As for staff, I just got bodies in and replace them later. It's not like I needed great coaches cause the players are only there for 2 or 3 seasons before being moved on.

Kevio - Kingsbury London Tigers - Molten Spartan South Midlands League Premier Divison - (2010-11) - Level 9

Hi guys,

I started this last night with my very local club, Kingsbury London Tigers, in the South Midlands League Premier Division (level 9). I've gotten through my first few friendlies with no real problems (lost the first match 4-0 but no-one was fit!) and the FA Cup First Qualifying Round draw is coming up.

I signed a few nobodies based on scout reports, personal instincts and some extensive player searching... Will post a few screenshots after work and keep you all posted on how things go.

**daemonic** · 12-04-2011 19:11

Welcome and best of luck Kevio

**Lenzar** · 14-04-2011 12:11

Ray Atkinson's attributes are worse than Walcott's!

And yet, just like Theo, he does amazingly well.

**daemonic** · 14-04-2011 15:53

Indeed, he's a bit more a super sub this season but still 2nd highest scorer. I think his pace, acceleration and finishing make up for everything else.

Sun Postal Sports - Premier League - 2020/21

Transfers
Spent a lot of money but it paid off.

Europa League - WINNERS | Final
Bit of a rubbish final but nice to win it as fingers corssed we'll never play in the competition again.

Premier League
Predicted: 11th | Final Position: WINNERS | Graph
We started well, immediately fixing last seasons biggest problem, our away form. Last year we managed just 3 away wins in 19 games, this year we had that many after just 4 away days. With our home form remaining solid, by the mid-point of the season we had pulled clear at the top table along with Arsenal.
Then the new additions gelled and we were almost unbeatable, winning 13 in a row to go 10 points clear at the top with 8 games to go. Despite a few blips after that we maintained our lead to win the Premier League.

FA Cup - Semi-Final

League Cup - Quarter Final

Community Shield - Runner Up - bad result, abysmal performance.

Other News
Finances were hit by my extravagant transfer spending but despite this the board announced another expansion which will take us to over 14k capacity.

**daemonic** · 18-04-2011 09:28

Thanks, was a pretty easy run in the Europa League. Only decent teams really were Roma and Chelsea who were having a poor season with Denis Wise constantly under threat of the sack.

What level are you at now maffdenton? or would it jinx it to even give that much away

**maffdenton** · 20-04-2011 07:27

Sun Postal Sports - Premier League - 2021/22

Transfers
Spent a LOT, but after this it should just be a few players a season rather than wholesale changes.

Champions League - WINNERS | Final
Juventus edged us into 2nd in the group stage before we squeezed past Schalke in the first knockout round. The Quarter-Final against Olympique de Marseille was the only straightforward tie as we only beat Olympique Lyonnais on away goals in the Semi-Final to setup an all English final against Liverpool.
Having been thrashed the week before in the FA Cup final we wanted revenge and took the lead early on before sealing it with a second half penalty. Sun Postal sports are CHAMPIONS of EUROPE.

Premier League
Predicted: 6th | Final Position: WINNERS | Graph
15 wins from the start of the season gave us a big lead but Man U were have a great season too and always had games in hand. We had a chance to seal the title at home to Spurs in the 35th game of the season but with one eye on our Champions League semi-final 2nd leg 3 days later, a slightly weakened side lost 1-2.
It didn't matter in the end though as 3 days later a draw for Man U away to Sheffield in one of their games in hand meant we clinched our place in the Champions League final and the Premier League title simultaneously.

FA Cup - Runner Up | Final
Awful performance in the final, just shockingly poor.

League Cup - WINNERS | Final
We left it late but just managed to beat Manchester United in the final.

European Super Cup - WINNERS

Community Shield - WINNERS

Other News
Finances
Very healthy despite my transfer spending with Champions League prize money and TV revenue making a huge difference. Sadly there was no stadium expansion and hovering over the Boardroom request indicates the max expansion for the current stadium has already been reached.

Daemonic- Have any of the other Level 9/10 clubs shot up the leagues in a similar manner to you, perhaps with the help of a tycoon? Maybe even just reaching the Football League?

**daemonic** · 25-04-2011 11:38

A couple of teams have. Barking started in the Essex senior at Level 9 and are now in the Championship. Oddly enough they've made it that far without tycoon cash although they are in Receivership for the 2nd time in 4 years so may be going back down to League 1 soon.
Lye are also in the Championship having started at Level 10. They were however taken over in 2011 by a tycoon and I first noticed them last season when they signed a DL I had on my shortlist and paid him £105,000 per week.

I expect Lye in the Premier League within a couple of seasons considering how much they spend on wages.

**maffdenton** · 26-04-2011 15:18

My fixtures worked

im now in blue square prem but dont seam to be attracting the players i should lol nothing much has happend for me , im just about staying level with cash from good cup runs , i think i got to rnd2 of the fa cup twice , spent no money on transfers and received none , but i think im going to struggle this year

**daemonic** · 26-04-2011 15:52

Glad the game is behaving for you maffdenton

It does tend to be a struggle for cash once you have to start paying decent wages. I just race for the Premier League and to hell with the finances, I can pay off the debts with TV and prize money.

**18Rabbit** · 26-04-2011 21:04

I guess when a man turns 40, he starts to think about what he wants to do with his life. I've played soccer off and on my whole life. I never got my big break and, being the US that wasn't too big of a surprise. I wasn't happy, of that I was sure. I wanted to play and while the mind was willing, the body was weak. After a lot of soul searching I knew what I had to do. I decided to chuck it all, cash in my retirement and move across the pond to jolly old England and start my life over again.

As soon as I landed, I started looking for work with a soccer, er, sorry, football club. After being laughed out of every reputable clubhouse I could find, I decided to lower my expectations. And then I lowered them again. And again. I eventually found my way to Sussex County. There, in a town I was certain was missing either an S or and F in front of their name, I was hired on as Head Coach for Uckfield Town FC.

How bad could it be? Let's go survey our field... Oh dear. I guess I can see why attendance is so low.
Wait, are those our dugouts...?

Well, I guess you have to start somewhere.

Now I just have to claw my way to the top, dragging these sorry sacks with me whether they want it or not.

**daemonic** · 26-04-2011 21:35

Welcome 18Rabbit, great introduction and if the season updates are half as entertaining I'll enjoy reading them immensely. Good luck!!

**maffdenton** · 28-04-2011 18:01

lol great introduction 18rabbit look forward to your progress and updates, im doing well in the blue square prem after thinking i was going to struggle , just got to feb and im in 4th position , and after the comments off managers at the beginning saying i have no chance they have come around an started saying ho well i have done , im out of all the cups

so now just to focus on a good position in the league , my board had a fan day and that has uped my attendance by about 200-300 each home game

but the health and safety shut down one of my stands so lost 400 from my 2k capacity lol currently losing 20-30k a month aswell lol

**18Rabbit** · 29-04-2011 06:30

So I found out this week that (s)Uckfield Town FC is technically an amateur club. Apparently amateur translates to "volunteer" in American. I really should have read the fine print a little more closely on my contract.

So basically I'm busting these guys balls on the hope that we can win and get promoted... to another amateur league... and then maaaybe we can get promoted to the big time in the Division 9 amateur league. Jesus these next three years are going to suck. Maybe before I retire again I will be able to afford to actually pay some of my staff (and myself). Oh and I guess my players too but Christ, there are so many footballers around here that people are lined up to come kick this stupid ball around while I yell at them and they're happy to do it for free.

Well, most of them are happy at least. Some of the worst players on the team storm into my "office" (the camper I'm sleeping in out behind the police station) and make the most asinine demands. Here's some of the ridiculous conversations I've had.

"Why did you remove me as captain??"
"Frankly I wouldn't let you captain the Titanic even after it hit the iceberg. Get the f*** out of my office."

"Why did you move me to the reserve team??"
"Basically because I got tired of seeing you at practice. You are so bad that I don't really even want you playing in friendly matches because you breathe too much of the oxygen on the field that can be put to better use by people that actually have some skills. Get the f*** out of office."

"Why did you fire me??"
"Because frankly, I enjoyed it and it cost me absolutely nothing. That small token of satisfaction I got from firing you is the most useful thing you've ever contributed to this team. You know what to do."
"Get the f*** out of your office?"
"Are you still here?"

And the press conferences... oh the press conferences...

"Would you say that your signing on as Head Coach of Uckfield Town was a dream come true?"
"Are you seriously asking me that question? Like I've dreamed all of my life of managing a team of fast food employees that are probably going to kick the ball the right direction at least 60% of the time... for free. Aim high I always say."

"Will you have to let anyone go as a result of this signing?"
"Uh... do you think I can't keep track of all of their names now or what? THEY. ARE. PLAYING. FOR. FREE. Please have your paper send someone less stupid to ask questions next time."

After being hired on I had the then assistant manager help me pick out couple of staff people that weren't total ass. I don't think at the time that he knew I was hiring his replacement but, whatever.

As I started scouting around for players, I quickly realized that I would need more hands to help me filter through the huge pile of s*** that was the amateur league players in our area. This meant that I would have to coerce the "board" into letting me "hire" more scouts. That was another fun conversation.

"We should increase the number of scouts so that maaaybe we can find 11 people in England willing to play for free that don't also suck huge bags of ass."
"We believe we currently have enough scouts to adequately... blah blah (I kind of tuned out at the end)"
"So you're telling me that I can't hire more FREE scouts that COST nothing because of... ? Because you suffer from rectal-cranial inversion syndrome?"
"Fine, whatever, hire 4 more you whiner." (or something like that)

After getting creamed in all of our friendlies in the pre-season I had managed to find a smattering of not totally sucky players and had begun molding them into a poorly oiled hoopty machine. So far, we haven't lost a regulation match, either in the Sussex County League Cup or in Sussex County League Div. 3. Hopefully we can make it through the holidays and out of this season relatively painlessly. Most of the squad now is really "ok" except for our keeper. I cannot find a keeper worth a damn anywhere. I'm about half tempted to ask the "board" to let me just install a large post in the middle of the goal on our end and hope for the best.

EDIT: HOLY CRAP. HOLD THE PHONE. This just in, the club made a profit of $346 in November. I don't know what the hell we're paying for, some guy to mow the field? And yet somehow on the books our estimated value is still listed at 19.25 MILLION, maybe the chairman has a diamond studded dong. I don't think it's from the 25 season tickets we sold.

**daemonic** · 29-04-2011 10:42

18Rabbit, I really wish SI had your replies as options to questions

The benefit of being Amateur is you can sign tons of players and see whose worth keeping and anyone who is rubbish can be rleased without cost. Also, I seem to recall a few others went semi-pro when promoted to Level 10.

**maffdenton** · 30-04-2011 10:46

ive only just turned pro in league 2 lol and i think my stadium hold 0 people due to health an safety shutting stands down , im waiting for a home game to find out

**maffdenton** · 30-04-2011 18:01

Nope its ok , had a home match an filled the 2000 capacity , my board are getting planning permission to build a new stadium so i should find out next year if it goes through

**daemonic** · 30-04-2011 23:06

Fingers crossed it does....although as I'm finding out a new stadium too soon means it's built with a small max expansion capacity. Congrats on making it to the Football League maff.

Sun Postal Sports - Premier League - 2022/23

Transfers
Actually made a profit while improving the quality. José was the only player sold who I would have like to have kept but with just a year on his contract and his agent refusing to even enter negotiations I cashed in. It really should be just tweaks to the team from now on.

Club World Championship - WINNERS | Final
Thrashed Académie Paradou of Algeria 12-0 in the Semi-Final with 5 of the goals coming in the last 8 minutes and then cruised past DC United in the final to be crowned Club World Champions.

Champions League - Runner-Up | Final
Cruised to the Quarter Finals where we were fortunate to beat Atlético Madrid. Next up was an epic 2nd leg comeback to beat AC Milan before we were outclassed by Real Madrid in the final.

Premier League
Predicted: 5th | Final Position: WINNERS | Graph
We started the season in unstoppable form steam-rollering teams and scoring hatfuls, including an 8-1 away win to 2nd placed Newcastle and a 7-2 away thrashing of Arsenal who were 3rd at the time. By the time we returned from Algeria as Club World Champions we were 15 point clear and still unbeaten.
The 100 goal mark was passed in our 26th game and 6 games later we were Champions again. We kept our good form going to the end finishing the season 29 pts clear with 137 goals scored.

FA Cup - Runner-Up | Final
Another abysmal final performance, disgusted with the teams capitulation.

League Cup - WINNERS | Final

European Super Cup - WINNERS

Community Shield - WINNERS

Other News
Finances
Despite a profit on transfers, an increased wage bill, 7m on upgrades to Youth and Training facilities and 17m to greedy shareholders meant a slight loss overall.

I expect Lye in the Premier League within a couple of seasons considering how much they spend on wages.

Lye have come straight up from the Championship making them the 2nd team from the depths of the League pyramid to make it to the top flight.

Thanks.
No, Saunders was released a couple of seasons ago and is currently playing for tycoon backed Heather St. Johns in the Blue Square Premier. He's continued his goal scoring for them, netting 48 goals in 60 games over the last 2 seasons.

**18Rabbit** · 02-05-2011 16:00

[Uckfield Town FC] - Season End 2011 - Starting Division: 11

2010/2011 is in the bag. Here's my managers snapshot.

I finally managed to find a fairly decent starting lineup, I only spend 5-10 minutes a day yelling the team now. I also managed to run an extension cord from my 'office' to a concealed outlet on the backside of the police station and so was able to not die over the winter. Which is a plus.

Year end summary for the club. We won the Sussex County League Division Three competition and also took home the Sussex County League Cup. This proves that we are one of the best crappiest teams in Sussex. Yay us.

Records for this season:
Record Attendance: 139 in the Sussex cup qtr final
Lowest Attendance: 79. Meh.
Most games without losing: 29. Damn, so close to going totally undefeated this season. We had a crucial injury and a suspension that hit us hard against the number 2 team in the league. Overall, we lost 3 games other than friendlies.
Top Goalscorer: John Pucket (20)
Top League Goalscorer: John Pucket (19)
Most goals in a match: John Pucket (3)
Highest average rating: John Pucket (7.54)

John has been pretty amazing for us overall.

Also, Jack Morris (ML) with 8 goals, 14 assists and averaging 7.40 has been a great player.
Tom Gallagher has been rock solid in the midfield with 7 goals, 9 assists and 5 MoM with an average rating of 7.23.
In the defensive line, we've had a few good signings near the end of the season that look promising, Joe Tabiri, Matt Plummer and Tom Jordan all have been performing well.

Hopefully we can keep it together and push straight through Sussex County League Division 2 next season and move on up.

EDIT: Two items of note, one is that the board has decided to go semi-professional (yay!). The other is that we got promoted to Kent County Premier Division instead of Sussex County League Division 2 (uh.. wtf?). Same level as Sussex D2 but, whatever.

**daemonic** · 02-05-2011 19:29

Congrats 18Rabbit, the League you got promoted into is a bit weird but the update files has anomalies like that. Good to go semi-pro too, although finances will suffer. I used to organize away pre-season friendlies against Foreign clubs to make some money to balance the books. 7 or 8 of these can net you over 100k as I recall.

**maffdenton** · 06-05-2011 13:07

Hi all

my 1st season in league 2 didnt go to well lol no money and no players wanted to come to me

finished 19th lol but i did win the JPT, second crack at league 2 seen me get a budget of 50k only spend half of that but got 2 great loan singings for 3 months each that helped Transfers and found this gem while scouting france start player finished 5 and went up through the playoffs and won the JPT again ! pitch was relayed this year and im getting a new stadium and youth academy

i have extended this challenge for myself and that is to get all welsh teams in the prem with good 1st 2nd an youth teams , full training an youth facilities then try to get manager of wales and win a cup with all the youth coming through lol going to take a few years but i guess its something to do

**daemonic** · 06-05-2011 20:28

The fixture list did us no favours as we started with away games against Man City and Liverpool, both of which we lost to leave us in the relegation zone. 10 games later we'd amassed 30 points and were top where we stayed to win the title for the 4th time.

Sorry guys this games running too slow so Im gonna have to stop. If anyone was interested I was 1st after 6 games

**daemonic** · 23-05-2011 16:20

The number of additional leagues, cups etc down at Level 11 can cause it to drag a bit. You could always try starting with the Level 10 patch although if your machine was slow even in the first season, starting with just Level 8 and above might be best.

**maffdenton** · 26-05-2011 07:52

nice daemonic im currently fighting relegation in my 1st season of the prem , stadium is up to 12k now though and expanding my youth network

got 8 mill to spend but cant get no one good enough lol and im making 2-3 mill a month .

**daemonic** · 26-05-2011 09:11

Congrats maff. I was the same the first season or 2 in the Premier League so signed youngsters and wages were very low so the money rolled in. Now I'm losing 2-3 million a month, just the CL & PRM prize and TV money keeping me in the black. If you're looking for talent, Argentina, Brazil & Spain in that order have been the best for me. France has produced a couple of gems as well. I don't even bother scouting England anymore, poor players and overpriced.

Hi all i saw this challenge yesterday while i was doing anything but my work at uni, but i had to wait until now to start it due to work and more uni.

I am going to start at Whittlessy United in the English Peterborough & District League Premier Division, they are valued at a high flying $425 AU, reminds me of the local team i play for, we might even be worth more (mind you though it is the 1st time my team has entered the amateur league).

**daemonic** · 03-06-2011 08:58

Best of luck Rignal!

Hey i can't seem to be able to take a screenshot, or if i am i can't find it. if it helps i have vista

**daemonic** · 05-06-2011 18:05

I use the Windows Snipping tool rather that the options in the game. The snipping tool is usually under the Accessories folder off the Start menu.

**Rignal** · 06-06-2011 07:31

Just finished my 1st season (10/11) and won the league

, will upload some photos later tonight after work.

Congrats on promotion Rignal and best of luck next season. Presume you've gone semi-pro now?

BTW, the links in your post are 'broken', they seem to have one too many 'http//' in there.

Did you have any luck with the Windows Snipping tool? You may need to switch to Windowed mode to use it but it works well if you can do this.

Yes we are now semi-professional and as a result the board wanted to build a new stadium but the local council's response was a NO there is no space.
As for the windows Snipping tool, i couldn't find it on Vista so i just ended up taking a photo with my camera and then uploading it to my computer.

I have also fixed the links, it was late at night and i forgot that Google chrome includes the http:// in the address bar even though it doesn't show it

**daemonic** · 07-06-2011 11:16

Wow, lot of effort for screenshots

The snipping tool may be on your PC, just not shortcut'ed anywhere. Try Start -> Run and enter "C:\Windows\System32\SnippingTool.exe" in the run box and hit Enter.

If that fails, try the steps here - http://www.mydigitallife.info/instal...windows-vista/

**Rignal** · 07-06-2011 12:25

I found the Snipping tool

Cool, the hard work is meant to be in getting your team up the leagues, not in getting screenshots etc

Hi all, been away for some time after a great start with the English small club to big club challenge. Stopped playing for some weeks due to a heavy schedule but picked it up just a week ago.

The challenge is going great so far! Still amazed by results of Daemonic and TAOD, and am nowhere near that, but still managed to get an promotion each year so far. Now playing in the League 2 division and am now in early January. Standing 4th in the competition now, but played a few less. New foreign players taking time to gell made it a hell start, losing the first game 1-6 at home

(Losses in fixture #1, #3, #11, #18 and #24. But won 8 of last 9 games).

Great progress bacardiboy!

**bacardiboy** · 07-06-2011 17:22

Cheers mate. Just found out i got 132 under contract, never really paid attention to the youth squad contracts which means i could release a lot of them to push the finances a bit higher.

Still no sign of a stadium expansion or new stadium though, asked for it since the 2010 year but it never came trough. Minor is that the club doesn't own the stadium and they say there is no money to buy it. Got my hopes on the end of this season cause the 2500 capacity (280 seats) is fully crowded like almost every match now (finally).

Any ideas how i should handle to get a new stadium trough? Or how much money there will be needed on the bank to buy the stadium?

Cheers

edit - table after a 1-4 win at Yeovil Town

here

**daemonic** · 07-06-2011 19:02

I started with less than 1000 capacity so from reading other stories I think getting into L2 triggers a new stadium with such a small stadium. If it's anything like last FM10 then it might be a season or 2 yet before you get the stadium announced....then another 2 to build

**bacardiboy** · 07-06-2011 19:09

That's a lot of time.. let's hope for the best. I would be happy if i could get close to 10K in the championship. But maybe that is to much to ask for.

PS - My quality (foreign) signings finally look to pay of their our expectations! Seriously needed blending striker Paul Hayes scored a hattrick last game (9 goals in 12(12) games now) and Defender Jesús, with amazing length and jumping, is starting to score from corners as well.

Only thing i do not understand is why top-signing CB Byron Anthony keeps playing rubbish.. He is blend in to the squad, but never seems to be able to get to his level.

**daemonic** · 07-06-2011 21:02

In some ways its better to get the new stadium later as it starts bigger and has more expansion capacity. This year I got a new stadium announced in L2, opened when we got to the Championship but it's maxed out at 14,300 seats. On FM10 I had to wait until our season in the Championship for the announcement and it eventually expanded to around 30k. Swings and roundabouts

**bacardiboy** · 07-06-2011 21:15

That information is ace =) Cheers daemonic.

Now standing first in the competition in begin February and just won the JPT on a 1-0 and 1-4 result against Crystal Palace. over 19K people showed up at their stadium which gave me 90K + the 24K for winning the trophy. Makes up a little bit for the early Arsenal draw (2-3) at home in the FA Cup ^^

*w00t*

PS - The team doesn't win a season undefeatened, but they perform like beasts against higher rep teams!

**Rignal** · 09-06-2011 07:04

Hey just wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to overcome the situation of the local council rejecting your boards plans to build a new stadium, my board have planned to build a new stadium twice now and both times the local council has stopped them. The only reason this annoying me so much is the fact we don't actually have a stadium we just a pitch.

**daemonic** · 09-06-2011 08:55

Weird, I've seen the message about the council blocking planning permission to expand a stadium but not blocking a new one. Which level are you at now? It's very rare to get a new stadium before making it to L2 so it might just be the games way of saying 'not yet'.

**Rignal** · 09-06-2011 10:53

I am still in level 10, so yea maybe. The board might just been responding to the fact i have generated in excess of $1M Au is 3/4 of a season for them. But won't let me improve training or youth facilities.

**maffdenton** · 14-06-2011 09:49

i had the same rignal , think its due to the fan base and your chairman not getting a loan to fund the stadium , when they did build me one it was 8 or 9 k , expanded it twice and now its 18k but cant expand no more , finaly doing well in the prem , 1st at the minute on the 3rd or 4th try lol so hoping i can keep it up make Europe or champs league and get a new stadium built

**daemonic** · 14-06-2011 13:46

Assuming FM11 follows the same rules as FM10 the 2nd new stadium will take a while. On FM10, Dafuge discovered in his game that there is a hard limit of 15 years between the opening of one stadium and the announcement of a new one so if you moved to your first new stadium in 2020 it will be 2035 before a new one is announced and 2 more years before it opens.
To expand that there also appeared to be a 2nd rule that you must be selling over half your capacity in season tickets because on my FM10 game I got to the 15 years in a new stadium mark and despite playing to full houses in almost every game it was a few more seasons before a 2nd new stadium was announced and it tied in with the first season where we sold +50% of capacity in season tickets.
Was announced as a 90,000+ stadium but FM11 arrived before we got to move in

**Rignal** · 14-06-2011 15:21

just finished the season 11/12 end would you believe we are getting that new stadium after all; uploading screen-shots of everything, stadium has a capacity of 4275, 1068 seated, and we will paying it off until 2042 :/. But it beats the nothing we had before

npower League 2
Predicted:24th | Final Position: 2nd
Very sad to have not won the league for the first time in the challenge. Started with a struggle, fought back into first position but Stockport were just to strong in the end and finished above the 100 pts mark.

FA Cup - 3rd Round
Winning first two games with easy, but Arsenal was way to good for us, even though playing at home and despite a 24th minute Arsenal red card.

League Cup - 1ste Round
Pretty much outclassed away from Swansey as well, Really a shame cause the team really got themselves together after gelling in the first 2 months.

**bacardiboy** · 14-06-2011 16:43

This year i got a board-takeover by a local businessman. He didn't pumped any money in to the club or so, but he accepted really anything i asked for! which was a new youth training ground, A-team training ground, and, oh yeah, a new stadium. (half-way in the L1 season).

Now it said to be planning until the end of may 2018 (the season i am currently in), but now this season is finished as well, and he said constructions began to start on the youth + training ground, but no news on the stadium. When i look back in the boardroom section, it now says the new stadium is still planning, but now untill the seasons '2021'.......

Is this definite? Or will there still be a possibility of the chairman saying in the end of the next season (2019) that the plans are ready by then? Found it really odd that there is nothing said about it by anyone.

**daemonic** · 14-06-2011 19:41

Congrats on promotion and the new stadium Rignal and congrats on the promotion bacardiboy. Not sure on the stadium planning though, mine was just announced when we reached L2. Fingers crossed it gets built soon.

Nice work Daemonic, so close to 150 goals in a season, Bacardiboy i had something similar with the normal team I manage, Thurrock, but it was for a relaying of the pitch had to practically beg for it and then the planning stage took for ever kept being pushed back, I think it was a season and a half later planning was over and then it happened in a day, probably will a bit different for your stadium with the actual building process.
