What did you sell him for now again? God, I can't remember off hand. I'd have to check the game but I think the initial fee was £275,000 and then I sold his sell on clause for £1,800,000 which allowed us to improve all the training facilities and buy Hewlett.

Nobby_McDonald Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Away from this update and back to old ones... somebody in the LLM forum has managed to find a lot of old LLM update threads at some forum where none of the Llamas have ever been too. Anyway, here is my first ever update epic, played with Billericay Town on CM01/02. http://sports.fitness.com/threads/78985-Where-the-hell-is-Billericay There are links at the bottom of that first page to my other two Billericay epics. Apologies for some wonky coding. Clearly the coding on the old SI forum format doesn't match the forum they've ended up on. I'm going to reread them when I have more time.

Nobby_McDonald Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 I'm a little disappointed with my new stadium. I was expecting the 6867 capacity stadium to be all seated but there are only 1716 seats. Add to this it is comprised of one decent covered seated stand and three open terraces, and the condition of the stadium is only listed as average, it's disappointing. Even so, 6618 came to the first match there. [video=youtube;C3o8TO-g6Qk] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeXe Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Nice result to christen the new ground! I'm also surprised it's not an all-seater, although perhaps your board are staunchly behind the campaign to introduce safe standing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobby_McDonald Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 FA Cup Special After overcoming Stockport (League Two) 2-0 in the First Round and then thrashing Brigg (top of the Northern Premier League) 8-0 in the Second Round, we drew Birmingham (12th in Premier League) in the Third Round [video=youtube;j_ClYv8DNTQ] Our first ever win over Premier League opposition and our reward is a trip to West Brom who prop up the Premier League at the time of writing. Equally stunning, we haven't drawn a single match all season, including pre season friendlies. Elsewhere in the Third Round...

Nobby_McDonald Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 2026/7 - Newcastle Town (League One) It's where we folded like cards Board: Respectable position Media: 12th Bookies: 33-1 Season tickets: 1262 (up 192) We move into the 6867 (1716 seated) capacity Newcastle Town Stadium and we christen it in front of 6618 and demolish Swindon Town 5-0. An excellent start sees us win our first four and after a quarter of a season we're challenging. Christmas comes. Bradford City and ourselves are clear. We haven't drawn all season, not even in pre season friendlies. After the Birmingham cup win we don't win in seven and we drop down to 4th. Bradford pull clear, we recover to fight with Preston and Swindon for second. Swindon finish strongly to claim second, being especially good away from home. We have to settle with the playoffs where we edge past Scunthorpe before not turning up against Sheffield Wednesday at Wembley in my 900th game in charge.
