Up until November 2019 Queen's Park were the famous 'go to' team as a manager who wanted to manage a team that would never be anything other than amateur. But now what? This is where I come in, to try and keep it to a small-ish database (all players based in the UK & Ireland loaded) I'm going to take control of one club that is listed as always amateur and see how far I can take them, whilst also seeing how the other always amateur clubs in England, Scotland & Wales are doing. Out of these teams only two are playable out of the box, Cardiff Metropolitan University & Swansea University. I will be using editor files though. I'll be using @Rainbowz Welsh file and loading down to the 4th tier so Aberystwyth Uni will be playable, I'm using @Dan BHTFC English file down to the 9th tier and I'm using @tardisblue81 Scottish file loading down to the 9th tier which is where Heriot-Watt are playing. And what team will I be managing? Solent University Football Club are a football club attached to Solent University, and are based in Southampton, Hampshire. The club is affiliated to the Hampshire Football Association, and is a FA Charter Standard club. The club competes in the Wessex League Premier Division. The club was a founder member of the Hampshire Premier League in 2008. They were winners of the Hampshire Premier League Cup in 2008 and the Southampton Senior Cup in 2009. The club finished runners-up in the Hampshire Premier League in 2009–10 and 2010–11, winning promotion to the Wessex League Division One. In the 2014–15 season, Team Solent were promoted to the Wessex Premier Division, after winning the Wessex Division One for the first time. In 2016 Team Solent won the Wessex League Cup beating Newport IOW 1–0 in the final with a goal from Toby Adekunle. We have two real players and we're a bit attack heavy. Now since we're amateur we'll have a lot of players coming and going every season. I could just go out and sign everyone available but that's not going to help the team gel so I'm going to do what I usually do and leave that up to members of staff.

So with Queen’s Park turning professional as of this season, that looks like another long time and long term FM challenge disappearing. However I’m assuming it’s happened too late to be included in FM20?

I am playing FM2011 at the moment and there i saw that one of the clubs has an amateur feeder club with which it has a long term partnership which means it gets the best youth players from that amateur clubs. In real life alot of football clubs also have partnerships like this. What i really would like to see is that you can form longtermpartnerships like this with local amateur clubs. I like to play long term youth challenge games so it would be really nice when you can expand your range of youth players coming in like this. So for instance im playing with Cork City at the moment and when i form a long term partnership with a club from Dublin you should see the following year at least 1 or 2 youth players coming trough from Dublin.

(Current profile) Hi guys. I'm starting a new save on FM17 with the Northern Irish league expansion pack so I thought I would post my career on here. I guess I want to do this because starting from nothing to something seems nice. So, if I start with an amateur club with nothing it gives me a challenge after all Northern Ireland have a lot of league systems to conquer. However, the aim of the game is to get an amateur club to a professional status, but I won't guarentee to stay with the club I first pick, after all if I want it a little realistic, I will follow the money. I picked Caw because it is a relatively local club for me and it'll be nice to get them to win the North West Junior Premier League. Brief overview of the competition; Post below will describe the competitions in detail. I look forward to further posts where I will post regarding my great staff(:/) and players.

Hi there welcome to my project, The Isles Of Scilly Football league system, the worlds smallest league. So far things have been going well below is what has been created so far. I have put many hours into this database however I would Love some help to get my vision working and on Steam, if anyone can help please feel free, you will get credit for working on this project . The current version of the database will be uploaded here so please have a try, let me know your thoughts, thanks in advanced. History In the 1920s, the Lyonnesse Inter-Island Cup, a competition between the islands of St. Mary's, Tresco, St. Martins, Bryher and St. Agnes, was formed. By the 1950s, only two clubs remained - the Rangers and the Rovers. In 1984 the two clubs changed their names to the Garrison Gunners and the Woolpack Wanderers, which are their current names. The League competition involves the Woolpack Wanderers and the Garrison Gunners playing each other every Sunday seventeen times. There also exist two Cups: The Wholesalers Cup and the Foredeck Cup, which is played over two legs. An "Old Men versus the Youngsters" match is played on Boxing Day. The season itself starts with the Charity Shield.[1] All the matches are played on the Garrison football field, on the island of St. Mary's. The league is played during the winter, from mid-November until the end of March.[1][6] Occasionally, a combined Scilly Isles team play a team Newlyn Non Athletico, a team at level 14 of the English football league system. A team from Truro visits annually to play against a combined team. The Woolpack Wanderers have won the Charity Cup 5 times - in 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. In addition, they have won the Lioness Shield twice - in 2006 and 2007.[7] The Garrison Gunners have won the Lioness Shield once, in 2005. The Isles of Scilly are struggling to hold on to their young people. There is no sixth form on the Isles so when youngsters turn 16, they go to the mainland. In addition, house prices are expensive, so they tend not to return until much older. As a result, the number of players in the league is dwindling.

All games are held at 10:30 AM on a Sunday apart from one of the cups (needs fixing). Both teams are amateur and allays fan owned , with finances designed so that they stay small and never progress (they break even every year). I have also made sure that they do not qualify for the Europa or Champions League as the money received was causing issues, and they do not qualify in real life. Everything has been made as close to the real thing as possible using as much data as i can find on line. Fixes and Additions There are some things in this database that need addressing and fixing. First of all The Fordeck needs to be played on a Sunday at 10:30 AM, for some reason even though it has been set it always moves the game. Youth and Reserve Leagues need to be created, i can create the teams but can not get any for of leagues to work (currently teams do not receive youth intakes). There seems to be a lack of non playing/playing staff took me 3 years to find a fitness coach, the game seems to not create people, and we can't hire foreign staff or foreign players due to scouting reach. The match official does not seem to officiate any games, not sure why it has been set. Teams do not seem to transfer players/ release players. When the youth intake was working over 5 years teams did not get rid of a single player. Add The available Honours to the cups. Would be great to add some more known league players if possible.

Ok currently, I am making a massive save with Australian clubs, all the way down to Amateur ranks. All NPL leagues, with Promotion Relegation etc working, and in QLD, NSW and Victoria it goes at least 4 tiers down. But im having trouble financially with all the clubs. In Australia, to play amateur football, you pay a ridiculous amount to join a club, and no matter what your in. Can we please have this as an option in FM? A pay-to-play contract? This would greatly help me out and help others making lower league DBs

Hi everyone, just wondered if anyone has or knows of where I can find a database or league update that includes the Greek amateur leagues. I really want to play as Kos as I went on holiday there not long ago and loved the place. Thanks in advance
