  1. Reading this reminded me of a game I used to play when I was younger. Not sure if this was something my dad made up or if its a common game. Anyway, it goes like this:

    I created fixture grids on the computer which my dad used to print at work. I would simulate the results by rolling two dice - one for the home team and one for the away team. At the end of each season, I would create the league tables, and even play cup competitions, then amend the fixture grids to adjust for relegations/promotions. To begin with, I used the normal English leagues (Premier League, Div 1, 2 and 3) but I drew up a huge list of teams from places (both fictional and real) which all had a number assigned to them. I would use my sister's bingo game to draw teams to replace the teams relegated from the old Division 3.

    I ended up (after hours wasted away on a weekend, with the football scores on the TV in the background) with my old Sunday league side playing in the Football League along with Walford FC, Springfield FC etc.

    Those were the days. Wish I still had the imagination to spend hours on something so simple. Will definitely be showing it to my children when I eventually have them
