Oh, I've installed the third patch after my session tonight. I take it most of the changes take effect from the next season?

seems to be straight off, as my players seem to have the abilty to score one-on-ones again :D

Good read here Nobby. Nice to see you picked up Nabil Sharif after seeing him at my Boston Utd side. Any news on them by the way?

I didn't pick him up. He was at Northampton when I joined. Besides, he's good in my game. ;)

ah right. He seems to be a fairly decent striker no matter what really. I don't know how I managed to keep him as a player for as long as I did.

2020/1 - Northampton Town (League One)

Board: Fight bravely

Media: 21st

Bookies: 50-1

Season tickets: 2690 (up 19)

A new stadium sponsorship deal is signed for 4 years, worth £231,000 per season. The chairman then loans the club £300,000 before selling Remco Hendrickx to Aberdeen for £650,000 (£300,000 of which will be paid over 48 months).

A worse start than last season firmly roots us in the bottom four and it looks like it will be a long, hard slog.

We change tac(tics) and spark into life, including beating fierce rivals Rushden & Diamonds 3-0, and we reach mid table by halfway.

Come the start of Spring and we're making a push for the playoffs. This push becomes a charge and a 1-0 win in the return derby at Rushden puts us two points behind the playoffs with five games to play...

...we miss out due to Bradford City winning on the final day.

Good Story mate keep it up

Have there been any weird moves between the regional divisions ie Hastings in the Northern League

There has been a couple of questionable ones, although I am using one of the earlier versions of Uncle Ron's level 8 set up, so I don't have all the fine tuning in this save that he has done.

New Club Records

Gate receipts: £170,000 v Nottingham Forest (FA Cup Fourth Round)

Average attendance: 6206

Average rating: 7.17 - Andy Boorman (51 games)

Transfer received: £650,000* for Remco Hendrickx to Aberdeen

Transfer income: £730,000*

*£300,000 of this is to be paid over a period of 4 years.

New League Records

Most points: 107 - Southend United

All Time Best Eleven

This was screwed last season as a lot of former players have (re)appeared in the Best Eleven.

Current players in the club's best eleven. New inductees in italics

GK - Chris Dunn (461 games, 0 goals, 6.79 rating)

DR - John Mousinho (360, 34, 6.93)

DL - Tom Manchester (178, 8, 6.71)

DC - Paul Rodgers (411, 14, 6.45)

MR - Shaun Batt (169, 51, 6.92) - retired

MC - Greg Baker (164, 6, 6.67)

MC - Abdul Osman (456, 62, 6.40) - retired

SB - Mohammed Sanogo (51, 0, 6.86)

SB - Michael Hutchings (143, 4, 6.82)

SB - Nabil Sharif (117, 61, 7.00)

It appears as though there is a bug where players who are retiring don't have their stats updated from their final season. I have altered Batt's and Osman's games and goals but not rating.

A horrible piece of news during pre season training... Oliver Lancashire has suffered a fractured skull in a collision with Tom Manchester during training.

Surprisingly though, he's only going to be out for 3 months.

2021/2 - Northampton Town (League One)

It's Northampton Town's 125th year...

Board: Respectable position

Media: 10th

Bookies: 33-1

Season tickets: 2823 (up 133)

A new kit sponsorship deal is signed for 4 seasons, worth £127,000 per year.

I also sign a two year contract extension to 2024 on £975 per week (up £400)

We make a worse start than last year, it takes us eight games to win our first match. So much for last season's strong finish and pre-season optimism.

Things improve, again after beating Rushden at home. Significantly. By halfway we have improved so much that we have reached the fringe of the playoffs.

Our push continues as things close up at the top of the table. After 34 games we are 6th and only 7 points seperate leaders Oxford from 10th placed Chesterfield.

Only one defeat in our final 25 games leaves us needing a draw to go up in our final game at home to Swindon, who need to win to have a chance of staying up.

We win 1-0 and are promoted to the second tier for only the second time in the club's history. A fitting way to conclude Northampton's 125th year which also saw us lift the Eidos Suck Arse I Don't Give A Monkeys Trophy. It is also a fitting end to our club captain's career. John Mousinho played 320 league games for the club and won the only trophy of his career in his final year.

How could you Simon? :(;)

Good luck in the Championship :thup:
