Let me know if this improves anything 3 good results and you are mid table then work from there Link to post Share on other sites

We're just past the half-way stage in season 2. League is looking good, though knocked out of the Vase. Issue we have is money. 18K in debt. Given we were 1/48 to go up (yep, 48 to 1 on) I just got most of the squad on a 30-40 pw contract but our attendances are massively down since we moved grounds. Averaged 160 in season 1, but lucky if we get 50 at home now. Wasn't expecting that. Link to post Share on other sites

Mafino 10 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) I am currently taking Pitshanger Dynamo up through the leagues from Level 11! Season 2032, in Vanarama South for the 2nd time after relegation. There is a bit of a bug however... I thought I would be safe but it relegated me after this. I even got a congratulatory message for staying up, but I played in the division below the season after. Also, the season is starting in October.

Schume 1 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Evening, apologies for lack of updates. 2nd season has been slow going my laptop fan is struggling but been busy as well. Anyway I've persevered and finished my 2nd season with Crewe. I won the league but it all came down to the last game of the season and I had to play 2nd place Cammell Laird (an old rival of ours at Nantwich back in the day so it was quite apt!) I had been behind them most of the season but got in front with a few games to go, but they still had a better goal difference so despite being 3 points behind I had to avoid defeat, I won 2-0. 2 weeks later won the FA Vase en route I had 3 extra time wins and 1 penalty shootout victory so to say I was lucky was an understatement. League Cup, absolute joke. Lost 1st round to Lower Breck was typical FM logic dominate the game and got beat... standard. FA Vase was a godsend as now have 38K in the bank been leaking money all season with shocking crowds as playing at Winsford United's Barton Ground. This is my current trophy cabinet On another note Ivan, for 3 seasons now all FA Competitions (including Youth Cup) have 7 subs just so you know Link to post Share on other sites

andydick 12 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Season 2 completed. Summary plus points "haul" below. Since our ground move, attendance has halved and match day income down from £17K to £12K despite playing 8 more home games (6 league, 2 cup). Lost £39K overall so not good. Signed a few better players ready for next season so maybe a clear out and a number of forays into the loan market. Still expected to win promotion from Northern League Division 1 though.
