After some frenetic negotiations these are the players I have lured to Chelmsford.

And for the first game of the season I took my boys to Braintree for a local derby with Braintree.

We're up and running!

Well ive gone through pre season and put together a squad that will hopefully not get me sacked

squad

pre season results

Im starting to think i may have appointed the wrong player as captain though.He seems to have a slight discipline problem.

captain

However i seem to have turned Kings Lynn into the Arsenal of the early 90s. After 7 games we are 2nd in the league after a 1-1 draw, a 1-0 defeat and 5 1-0 wins on the bounce.

I'm guessing most of you are asking who the hell this guy is. icon_biggrin.gif

I remember him at Bolton, does that make me old?

You can reload as many times as you like, I encourage it to help people get a team they really want.

I can't see Corby Town being promoted in the first season with a reputation of 650 though.

Been waiting for this thread to pop up!

Enjoying my Brighton save, but like to be able to vary the game I'm playing. Had mixed success last year, taking AFC Wimbledon to League One and Bromley to League Two. However, I'm hoping to be one of the other Kent/Sussex sides this year. Unlikey I'll get Folkestone, Maidstone, Tonbridge, Horsham or Hastings but thats the 'dream'!

Sneekes has always been a class act, he's just as good in the Masters football I've seen him play on Sky.

He's lacking a bit of pace, but put him with a strong defensive midfielder then he'd run riot.

Finally managed to get a low reputation team to appear, so I've taken over Boreham Wood.

Looks like it could be quite tough to survive this year. I only have one player in my first team and his name is Elvis icon_confused.gif

No staff and 4 no hopers in the youth team, my next update will probably be that I've been sacked maybe 2-3 months in.

End of Season 08/09 Update

Well season one over.

Unfortuantly didnt get promoted in my first season.

After a disapointing pre-season and start to the season Chippenham managed to pull there socks up mid way through to record a ten game un-beaten run and power up to 8th place. unfortuantly the last 2 months of the season saw them return to there starting ways and leaking goals left right and centre, to leave them finnishing the season in a respectable 12th position.

Mustapha Hadji. His 2nd Nationality is French, (not English), so although he doesn't require a work permit, you would probably be unable to scout him because he was not based in England.

In order for you to sign him you need to have got him on trial first, so we will need to see a pic showing this.

Here is an exemple of what it should look like and the pic that you need to show as proof.

Please don't take offence if you are asked to prove anything, it is just the nature of the challenge that we want everyone to be competing on the same level.

Good luck to you all.

I've just had the extremely pleasant surprise of finding out that Boreham Wood have Watford and Arsenal as their parent clubs, so I might actually have a better season than expected if I can get a few decent loans in icon_biggrin.gif

My chairman has said that he expects us to survive relegation by the end of the 2 year plan. Some things are still poorly worded it seems icon_smile.gif

900 should be enough shouldn't it?

I thought so, but no luck so far.

AFC Wimbledon and Chelmsford seem to be coming up almost every time, so I guess it's unlikely AFC Hornchurch will make it. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I was trying this out in testing, Tonbridge Angels and Prescot Cables were coming up with 850.

Is Boreham Wood (paulsgruff got them a few posts up) the smallest with 950 so far?
