  1. This is the first time I've been on this forum in a while. I'm getting the game soon and will be downloading this database (I've used past versions before and they're always awesome!) Anyway, I noticed an early screenshot from November of the NW Counties League and Prestwich Heys has been mis-spelt (on the screenshot it's "Prestwich Hays"). I'm just wondering if this has been corrected?

    Also, for future any info you need on Prestwich Heys, I'm a season ticket holder there so I can help.

    I got promoted to the Premier League and I am playing at Turf Moor (22k capacity I think) with Gateshead as my new crappy stadium is being built, they build a new stadium for 15k people, from 11 to 15? Turf Moor is filled most of the times (good thing) at my home games but I got sponsorships worth of 625k, in comparison a team like Bournemouth got 32 million. Don´t even want to compare to the big teams who are worth over 200 million in that regard.

     

    Is this normal? I have been 3rd in the Championship for 7 years straight ... I should have built some reputation with better sponsors one would think. I am getting less in sponsorship than most Championship teams.

    What gets me more is that Gateshead are playing their home games 112 miles away.

    The game is 64 bit now so I would be surprised if that is still an issue. I'm guessing that will probably be an issue caused by the maximum value that a 32 bit signed integer can hold (2,147,483,647, or just over 2bn) and when you go one over that it flips all the way round to the minimum value that the int can hold (-2,147,483,648, about -2bn). A 64-bit signed integer can be much larger (up to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807, or just over 9 quintillion) so assuming they updated that value we should be ok for a while now :)

    Well there goes my aim of raising £10 quintillion!

  4. This could actually be quite interesting from a marketing point of view for SI. I first played Championship Manager when I was 11 back in 1997 (so yes, I'm in that "above 30 category!) From then and a few years afterwards I had a number of friends in school who played it too, at that point all under 15 yet now, according to this poll anyway, nobody under 15 is playing it.

    Or it could just be that the kids don't use internet forums anymore, I don't know.

  5. This kind of reminds me of a scene from Only Fools and Horses

    "All the players are mad at me"

    "Why?"

    "I don't know!"

    "You must have an idea, when did this start?"

    "Well... the players thought it would be a great idea to go to Qatar for the warm weather. I agreed so I sorted it all out, rented to best facilities there money could rent"

    "And was it a good trip?"

    "Yeah, I thought it was but then all the players got mad at me. I think what it might be was that I heard later, through friends, that they wanted to come with me!"

    Thanks for the comment.

    As for the stadium, I always thought that once you had reached the potential expansion capacity that was it in terms of getting expansions and you had to wait until you could build a new stadium to get a higher capacity. How did you manage to get the stadium expanded above the potential? It would be great if I could manage to do that as 30,170 is still quite small when compared to the elite European teams but I feel it's probably time that I moved on anyway.

    I've achieved pretty much everything I can with Glentoran and I sense that I am likely at the limit of how much I can build the nation with only one team. The fundamental issue I have is that the rest of the teams are still lagging significantly behind which is restricting further progress with regards to reputation and coefficients. I need another engine in the country driving growth otherwise we'll just end up having a big fish in a small pond. I see Linfield as the ideal candidate given they now have the 2nd largest stadium capacity (18,000) and 2nd highest average attendance (~5,000). Given the way the league has already developed with regards to qualification places in Europe, I think they would be the easiest team to build over a shorter time frame. All that is needed now is to play the waiting game until the job becomes available which might take a while given that their current manager has job status 'Very Secure'.

    All the best

    Loving the screenshots of the stadium.

    Well after it was maxed out, about a season later, the option appeared in board requests to expand the stadium so I just went for it and managed to get it after planning permission was granted.

  7. Great read as always. I remember reading yours from last year so I was glad to see you're doing it again. 

    With regards to the stadium, I believe the maximum size is just the maximum size allowed without having to apply for planning permission. I had a similar issue in last years game after I thought my stadium was maxed out but we managed to increase further after successfully applying for planning permission.

    Sakatar City should beat Lakeley Newtown in the semi and face Picavella Strollers, who overcame F.C. Freistadt 1-0, in the final. City trounced Picavella 7-0 in last year's final, and the third-tier Southerners have shown remarkable resilience to reach the final again in 2018.

    Just a reminder that I've been playing through this save in real-time since 2010, and am posting from my fourth different residence since the save began!

    What year is it ingame. 

    I'm going to take a wild guess and say 2018.

    The AI either thinks this is a totally reasonable deal, or the AI knows how to troll managers

    I literally had the same thing on my game last night. They wanted a selling team wage contribution of £16.25k a week yet I'm currently paying the player £5.25k a week. So yeah, the answer was no!
