Glad I found this! Excellent save, and hopefully you can get those last two goals finished.
Really bad that you could not get K&H past that promotion bug. I never ran into that. Been messing around recently with another save and have a team in that league, I'll post something if I run into the same issue.
Keep up the good work!

I'm doing an Academy Challenge, so I'm only spending 20% of my wage budget. I can easily afford part-time contracts for all so this could prove a game-breaker!
Do they refuse the PT contract no matter how lucrative it is? I've always had them desire the non-contract but accept a PT at the right wage.

To make it easier to check before sending Dan a DM.

Had been so focused on this save when I saw the Brighton/Man City scoreline today I thought it was an upset.

Amazing save. Looking forward to your FM19 exploits.

Amazing, simply amazing!

Currently above Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City. To hell with Europa, might as well grab a Champions League spot! Nice season!

6 points from Europe, 6 points from the Championship! Mid-season, mid-table stress. How fun it is to watch this from afar.

Finally got caught up again. Amazing run, good luck with making it to Europe, I can see it in the cards before FM19 drops!

Really enjoyed reading this, too bad things turned sour at the end. Amazing job to get as far as you did.

How have the boys from Lizard Argyle fared over the past few seasons?

This should be fun! Best of luck with the tycoon and what a relief to not waste all that talent coming through the ranks on other teams.

14 yellow cards in a match, don't see that very often.

Nice FA Vase run, hope that form holds, would hate to see the tycoon get past you at the end. Good to see Lizard Argyle out of the relegation zone. Should be an interesting finish.

Good luck keeping Collins for at least a season or two, 6'5" at 16, crazy stuff.

Well done, on to semi-pro status this coming season?

Good luck! Love these lower league saves. Only complaint, how could you not go with Lizard Argyle? What a name!

If you use the editor it should allow you to set semi-pro to have PT contracts. You could also set it so amateur status would allow PT contracts, or at least that's how I read the instructions, have not verified that personally though.

Anyone else having an issue with part-time contracts? My Keymer & Hassocks side went from amateur to part time and can't sign anyone to a P/T contract. I found this https://community.sigames.com/topic/369839-semi-pro-non-contract-issues/ but no chance I'm starting my save over. I'll struggle through the best I can and hope to hit full-time status soon.

Depends how hard you make it. Play a game using the players you inherit, & if found by a scout only sign ones in the locality. Have not signed a player all season. Mainly due to not being able to gain a scout all season, despite advertising all season. Also play blocking out all the attributes, & evaluate the players abilities by your coaches, & how they perform. Makes a great game. Currently in first season with four games left, topping the table, but all matches have been tight, & could have easily been at the bottom end if luck had gone against me. Never could understand why anyone wants to play right down in the lower leagues, & just breeze through each division with no opposition. Would be so boring.
I am not suggesting people have to play like this, but you can make the game interesting & challenging, even at these levels, if you want to.
Could not agree more. I've been doing a youth challenge with Keymer and Hassocks, basically only using regens and not signing anyone else. Stumbled quite a bit when I hit the Mid-Sussex Championship. Struggled mid table for a few years while waiting for my youth to catch up, got relegated and then back up after two years in League 1. With improved youth and training setups I've been able to have a deeper team this go around and am fighting for promotion again. Been a very challenging but fun go. I might post screenshots one day if I quit being lazy about it.
And as an aside, this database is the reason I still buy FM, great job Dan.

Pretty sure that save was an academy only save, which added a level of complication. I've also never ran into such a continuous flow of teams with so much money like I did with that save. Just one of those wonderful FM experiences that makes it worth replaying.
My current save started in Mid Sussex Championship so I skipped all of those lower leagues which can get a bit dull a 2nd time around. An instant result add-on helps a lot as well.
