Gricehead Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Here we go, at the mercy of UBB code and Imageshack: Life at the New Manor Ground 2008/09 in the Blue Square North, Pre-season and August update My Profile With little in the way of existing players and no staff, this was going to be tough. Before we'd kicked a ball in practise, never mind anger, the Chairman made it that little bit more difficult. At least he only wanted Consolidation over two seasons, whilst the media expected us to be finish in 19th by some miracle. Signing players is a bit of a lottery in this situation, but 19 brave souls were cajoled into joining up in time for preseason, along with a coach, physio, scout and ass man. Pre Season Was a bit of a disaster really. <pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">19/07/08 vs Northampton 0-4 28/07/08 vs Mansfield 0-1 31/07/08 vs Belper 0-4 04/08/08 at Fisher 2-1 (G: Owen Story (2))</pre> Northampton was a write off really, as the players had barely met each other and were still struggling to run round the pitch once without stopping. Then we lost to our parent team (did I mention that our parent team is one of the worst in the football league? Absolutely useless.) and then got battered by our own feeder team 4-0. Only a 2nd half substitute striker saved our graces in the final friendly of the pre-season. The only answer - find some better players. Or not as the case might be. Still at least we kept within our wage budget (Total Wage Budget = £2141, Current Wage Total = £2058). Did I mention my days are numbered as well? August After the humiliating pre-season, I didn't know what to expect from the first league game. Fitness-based training had finished, and more emphasis had started to be put on tactics, and especially defending. Altrincham made it easy for us, though, by having two men sent off in the first quarter hour, either side of taking the lead. We got a goal back straight away, but worryingly couldn't get a winner against 9 men. Maybe we should have concentrated on attacking a little more? Our first home game, in front of 810 fans (wait a minute - 810 fans when we only sold 72 season tickets that's a hell of a pay on the day figure. Ilkeston must be boring as hell) saw us take a 3-0 lead in the first half, and go in all cocky at the break. Hinckley won the second half, scoring two and making stoppage time a bit iffy. A 2-2 draw at Kings Lynn (again, throwing away a two goal lead) was disappointing for the fans apaprently. They obviously hadn't been at the Belper game! Bank Holiday weekend saw us beat Nuneaton at home 2-0 on the Saturday, and lose by the same scoreline at Redditch on the Monday. With only 19 "players", playing two games in 3 days was always going to be a big test. We finished the month with another victory, beating Farsley 1-0. <pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">09/08/08 at Altrincham 1-1 (G: Tom Clarke) 12/08/08 vs Hinckley 3-2 (G: OG, Anthony Charles, Dave Dixon) Att: 810 16/08/08 at Kings Lynn 2-2 (G: Matt Somner, Tom Clarke) 23/08/08 vs Nuneaton 2-0 (G: Danny Holmes, Owen Story) Att: 988 25/08/08 at Redditch 0-2 30/08/08 vs Farsley 1-0 (G: Tom Clarke) Att: 828</pre> 6th P6 W3 D2 L1 GD+2 Pts11 We're even returning a small profit at the moment! It's a bit early to say, but star players would appear to be Striker Tom Clarke and DM Matt Somner. Midfielder Danny Holmes and defender Ian Monaghan have promise, but haven't really displayed it yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbokav1971 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 ****Info for the website***** I'm thinking of compiling a list of suggested players to purchase for this challenge, (and then sending it to Allan for inclusion on the website), and to that end I am accepting nominations for players who you think should be included on the list. I don't want just a name, but also a reason why. 1. Super Kyle formerly known as Kyle Wilson. The N.Irish striker found fame when in addition to scoring the goals that took Jimbokav's Hendon team to the Premiership in FM06, he also scored the goals that fired a resurgent N.Ireland team to the World Cup Final in 2014. He scored over 50 goals for a N.Ireland team managed by the AI and scored over 300 league goals for Jibokav's Hendon in 2 spells at the club. In FM07 he was by far more popular, (but less effective), yet still Jimbokav persisted with him and he still managed to score 100 league goals in an often struggling team. In FM08 it is yet to be seen how effective he is, yet early signs of 20+ goals in the holiday season look promising. 2. Hark, formerly known as Jonny Harkness, is a utility left sided player of N.Irish origin who first came to light when he was a regular in Jimbokav's Hendon team that progressed all the way from Conference South to the Premiership in FM06.He was a popular choice for a left sided defender/midfielder in FM07 and his ability from dead-ball situations enhanced his worth to many teams. He really found fame in Gundo's challenge in FM07 when after joining Lisburn Rangers as a 29 year old, he went on to score 104 goals from full-back before taking the Ass Man role after 3 consecutive losses at the Qtr Final stage of the Champions League. If I was to suggest a few possibles, they might be, Phil Younghusband, Daryll Knights & Fola with maybe a "legends" section being opened for the likes of Danny Roberts & Super Kyle.

Barnsley Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 If were doing one of these Jimb then my old todgers should be in Marcus Gayle, Fitzroy Simpson, Fabian Wilnes and Leo Fortune-West - none of them can actually move on the pitch its really fun to watch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzii Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Caused a bit of a debate with the post about arranging friendlies with foreign B teams I'm not actually doing this challenge, just using it as a base for my game. If I had actually thought about it i would have realised that it wouldn't be allowed, oh well. Love the thread though, and seeing how everyone else is getting on. Might have to start a new game and join in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbster Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hendon - Conf South - March 2011 Update I'm guessing I must be doing worse than I thought for this message to come up. Never seen that before. I have a feeling I may be sacked in the next few months. The board reckons I have no regard for money, and my performance in all competitions is below expectations.

First 2 seasons I finished in a playoff position, so this is a bit of an anti climax. Barnsley my lowest attendance is 152 in the league against Bognor Regis.
