But big disappointment in the FA trophy final. We largely dominate the match but Notts County equalize 1-1at the 93rd minute and we lose on penalties Prestigious game in the FA Cup against Arsenal, lost 3-5 while we were leading 3-2 in the 60th 410 points however. We are going to turn professional and the next season to the League2 promises to be complicated with squad registration How are your finances, after that great FA Cup run and the match against Arsenal?

wheatoplays Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) I noticed that you have 0 holiday days. I'm currently at 126 days after a season and a half of ingame time . I get bored of all the clicking around between matches, so quite often holiday until my next match takes place. The only time I don't do that right now is for the days leading up to cup matches, as I like to do attend press conferences and pre-match team meetings myself.

Hitbox Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) All Roads Lead To Radstock - Season #3 24/25 After limping over the line in the 23/24 season, consolidation was the objective for Radstock Town's first ever season in the 8th Tier. With the board's savvy financial approach and insistence that the club only hires when necessary , gaffer Mike Dando prioritised defensive stability with his limited transfer activity by bolstering the backline with a new left back, centre back and keeper. After a rocky start and subsequent tactical tweak, the miners lost just one game from October onwards, and went on a club record breaking 11-game winning streak to lift the Southern League Division 1 South. With 10 wins by just a single goal, as well as conceding the fewest number of goals in the league, the defensive additions played a vital part in the club's third successive promotion and league win. With a small first team squad, Radstock's youth talents were again given the chance in the league cups and off the bench. Unsurprisingly, they failed to perform in the cups, with Radstock getting knocked out in the first opportunity in both the FA Trophy and Southern League Cup. However, with a 3rd place finish in the National U18 South West League, competing against current and former Vanarama National League clubs, as well as an uncharacteristic commitment by the board to increase spending for the clubs junior coaching, the future is looking bright. Among the most promising players from Radstock's academy (Ladstock?) is Irish-born Defensive Midfielder James Doyle, who has already seen game time for the first team. With James' ability to spot a pass and his undeniable technique, Radstock are now able to actually play out from the back, relying less on long balls that simply won't work against the teams in the Southern League Premier.

Hitbox Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 All Roads Lead To Radstock - Season #4 25/26 Another season, another overachievement. Tipped to be fighting for relegation (again), Dando's newly promoted Radstock Town swept aside a host of former Vanarama National South clubs on their way to a historic championship win in the Southern League Premier South. Radstock led the division for most of the season, spearheaded by their impressive front-line that helped score a club-record 110 league goals. With their rising status in the English game and increased investment from the board following a successful FA Cup run, Radstock has built a decent-sized squad of players from across the South of England. The strength in depth now available to Mike Dando helped keep poor results at bay when key players were injured or tired, as well as providing admirable performances in the FA Trophy and Southern League Cup. With the club balance looking healthy, the Radstock Town board have acquiesced to Dando's request to invest in the club's youth setup, namely recruitment and junior coaching. This year's youth intake is already showing signs of real promise with a handful of talents that look to be capable of breaking into the first team within a few seasons.

Motlhen Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Team of Enfieldians 2026/27 Our 3rd season at tier 9 has ended with us just missing out on the playoffs. We never fully recovered from a big mid-season blip in what is a very close league. Only 2 points between the top 4! Our three attempts at getting out of this division: We've lost a couple of key centre-backs over the past season, but I think we now have some decent replacements. Adding a key striker and signing a goalkeeper who had been on my radar for a while give me hope that this next season coming we will finally be able to make promotion!

EvertonblokesMobile Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Andover New Street - 2022/23 We started strong and by the end of November was second place in the league. 4 points for the whole of Dec and Jan prompted a tactical rethink and a change of formation, which got us back to form, and in fact better than ever before. Finishing 4th in the end and winning the play offs. Eddie Perrett scored 45 goals in all competitions and has other clubs sniffing around. My DCs came second and third in the young player of the year competition so will be trying to keep hold of them. One of them, Stojanovic was a beast at corners getting 10 goals, 3 of which came in the play off semis. Youth intake was a bit of a disaster, I saw I could pick up the players on pay as you play contracts taking just £2pw out of the wage budget so I thought, sign them all and told the DoF to give everyone contracts, he promptly put them all on £5pw guarenteed and took me over my wage budget by £100pw. Not much, but when the total wage Budget is £211pw its a big deal. Luckily promotion has inspired them to increase the wage budget to £975pw. Thats going to be fun using up.

kraftberk Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Some great seasons above, well done everyone! Our campaign in the regional prem divisions was another promotion and a league cup. Just about able to keep a squad together now, and finally able to offer actual contracts which should keep the offer spam down Highlight of the season was definitely our FA Cup run which is my favourite cup run for a few versions of FM never mind saves. We'd beaten Donny in a pre-season friendly so was confident once we got the replay.

Hitbox Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 All Roads Lead To Radstock - Season #5 26/27 The media are finally starting to get it: Radstock Town under the stewardship of Mike Dando are not to be underestimated. Slated for a playoff finish, Radstock romped home to win the league by 8 points, scoring 111 goals, half a goal per game more than any other team. Strong runs in both the FA Cup and FA Trophy helped springboard the club's reputation, and a fortunate away tie to well-supported Ipswich Town in the FA Cup second round delivered a windfall for the club. The board immediately signed off on Dando's request for improvements to the training facilities, which will undoubtedly help the club attract and retain better players. The club's commitment to getting the most out of its junior talent is producing a steady stream of potential squad players for the future. The most promising of these is the club's titanic left back, Tyquan Cannonier, who is a freakishly big 6'4" at the age of 16. He has great technique for a big lad, possesses a decent footballing brain that belies his age, and isn't afraid to get stuck in.

avzbruvz Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Finally finished our 4th season, and our last in the doldrums, as next year we'll be in tier 6. Another league and cup double - I'm gonna miss these extra league cups. Really annoyed by our 3rd round loss in the FA Trophy to Bath City as we had beaten the National League South side already in the FA Cup 4th Qualifying Round. Our average attendance has doubled this year, but at 157 that is second worst in the division. Not too sure what else there is to do to bump that at.
