Cheekybananafm Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 DOING THE DAFUGE - BARWELL FC I've taken a bit of time to think about what to do after the Gibraltar save and have decided to do a challenge I've never attempted before and that's the Dafuge Challenge. The aim is simple, take control of a previously non-playable team in England and take them to Premier League and Champions League glory, simple, right? The club I have decided to start with is a club I know quite well, a lot of my family live near Barwell and I've also been to the Kirkby Road Sports Ground where they play their games. My manager, as the challenge requests, starts with Sunday League Reputation and no coaching badges As I mentioned Barwell play their games at the Kirkby Road Sports Ground, a 2,600 capacity stadium with 256 seats. This can be expanded to 5,000 if needed. Barwell is located just to the North of Hinckley and to the South-West of Leicester. Could we become deadly rivals to The Foxes in the future? As expected the facilities aren't great, poor training and youth facs with a youth level of zero, alongside basic academy coaching and limited youth recruitment, it will be a long time before we start bringing through our own stars. I'll talk about the playing squad, tactic, etc in the next update, we currently have absolutely no staff so I need spend time building my backroom. The squad is very small so I will need to bring in a whole host of players to get ready for the new season, luckily we have a pretty decent wage budget Just over £2k a week to spend on players. Now it's time to go and get this squad ready for a relegation battle, we are predicted to end dead last but some way as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheekybananafm Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 2023/24 Pre-Season A good run of wins there with only a couple of defeat, both against League sides, £27k in matchday income and £30k of gate receipts made as well. It is going to a long, hard season. Lots and lots of players in, the squad was tiny so it was needed. I won't go through them all but here are they key ones. The season is now about to start and we have a busy opening month. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
