jsar. Brilliant update icon14.gif, (and it wasn't too shoddy first time around).

Don't worry about not getting promoted. It's a marathon not a sprint.

One thing that might improve your updates is if you provide a pic of the league graph as well as the table.

It lets us see at a glance how your season progressed.

Anyway, congrats on being one of the first to complete a season.

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? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

No, there's a couple of guys playing as Chippenham (900) and one guy has got Mangotsfield (850). I want to get Heybridge or Tonbridge icon_rolleyes.gif

I think i must have reloaded about 40 times so far icon_frown.gif

Good way to test if reputation can change would be by going on holiday for a few seasons then checking with FMM.

Season updates take a while to write, Jimbo's guide was posted while that season update was being written.

850 is still possible then, good to know. You should be able to get Tonbridge or Heybridge then, it might just take a very long time icon_biggrin.gif

If you look back through the thread there are a couple of save games for clubs with low reputations.

and anyone know how to add kit packs to the game?

Click on the number of your league position on the league table.

Once I've found enough kit and logo packs to cover all the clubs, I'll post them.

Yeah I see them, but I think if everyone who can uploads then possibly we could have every team available. I am hunting for some rather unlikely teams. Would like Rugby Town, but thats never going to happen, so if anyone sees Prescott Cables I would be delighted.

I've thought about this and I took it to mean that it wouldn't be the end of the World if they got relegated, but that they would be expecting you to get them straight back up and so end the 2 years back in the Conference South.

Gricehead.

I think some are being hosted via a link to the website.

If you email Allan I'm sure someone will sort something out.

If he's too busy I'm sure he can delegate to someone else. I would do it if I knew how for example.

Its really just showing the chairman isn't very ambitious, maybe because the club is so small, rather than saying they want to be in the Blue Square Premier in two years, he's saying he's happy just to survive for the next two in the Blue Square South, and then go from there.

What are the odds?

The odds aren't actually as high as you would think.

At that level I think both competitions operate a North/South divide which obviously increases the odds significantly. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

IRL this season, Buxton have drawn local rivals Leek Town in the FA Cup, the FA Trophy AND the Unibond League Cup, as well as two league games.

We're two for two so far icon_biggrin.gif

If Hornchurch don't turn up soon, Chippenham it will be.

Don't give up hope, Dafuge. I've seen AFC Hornchurch promoted a couple of times, though I have probably spent about 6 hours reloading! I will be Gloucester City icon_biggrin.gif

Actually, perhaps Hornchurch aren't such a good choice, I didn't realise they played in red and white stripes icon_mad.gif

Certainly. I'm starting to lose hope of seeing any more new teams come up though icon_frown.gif

I think the saved games for each team is looking a very good idea.

apg - Hornchurch only have 750 rep don't they? Which means clubs as low as 750 can be promoted. Possibly lower but it might be extremely rare.

It was 900 in the list I shamelessly copied from you.

Didn't even get any credit for it icon_frown.gif

I was thinking of Ashton Utd, who I accidently missed off the list.

Quite happily reload until the first patch comes out though icon_wink.gif

There is something strangely satisfying about continually reloading the game to see who comes up.

Unless you know something we don't about the patch icon_wink.gif

I'm a stats addicted (self confessed) and therefore am quite happily keeping stats on the frequency that clubs come up.

AFC Wimbledon well over 95% of reloads...

After trying to create my own tactic and it resulting with my players loosing the ball more often than not I tried a clean slate and didn't give any instructions. Typical that I start winning when all I did was put it on a default diamond! That is tactical prowess for you! Haha! icon_smile.gif

It seems I was making it too complicated as everyone has rediscovered how to play football icon_redface.gif!

Really enjoying this so far. Great to see everyone else seems to be having a fairly good time too.
