I find it awesome that you've started this thread over a year ago, have only played about a decade of seasons, are still relatively far from the heights of top football, and are still insisting on continuing the career. :D That's some resilience. :thup:

Promise I'll give it a proper read one of these days.

Fantastic debut in League One.

My word, Brooks the fourth highest rated English player. What did you sell him for now again?

God, I can't remember off hand. I'd have to check the game but I think the initial fee was £275,000 and then I sold his sell on clause for £1,800,000 which allowed us to improve all the training facilities and buy Hewlett.

It's not difficult when it's a team I have a great affinity for. I live close enough to the ground to be able to hit a few golf shots and reach it. Not been to a game for ages though, I'd rather play golf these days truth be told.

Away from this update and back to old ones... somebody in the LLM forum has managed to find a lot of old LLM update threads at some forum where none of the Llamas have ever been too.

Anyway, here is my first ever update epic, played with Billericay Town on CM01/02.

http://sports.fitness.com/threads/78985-Where-the-hell-is-Billericay

There are links at the bottom of that first page to my other two Billericay epics.

Apologies for some wonky coding. Clearly the coding on the old SI forum format doesn't match the forum they've ended up on.

I'm going to reread them when I have more time.

You'll need a while but I think you will enjoy it and it will give insight into why I have an affinity with Billericay Town despite the fact I have no connection to them other than through Football Manager.

The format of the first update was hardly to LLM requirements. :D

Thanks Raware.

I'm a little disappointed with my new stadium. I was expecting the 6867 capacity stadium to be all seated but there are only 1716 seats. Add to this it is comprised of one decent covered seated stand and three open terraces, and the condition of the stadium is only listed as average, it's disappointing.

Even so, 6618 came to the first match there.

FA Cup Special

After overcoming Stockport (League Two) 2-0 in the First Round and then thrashing Brigg (top of the Northern Premier League) 8-0 in the Second Round, we drew Birmingham (12th in Premier League) in the Third Round

[video=youtube;j_ClYv8DNTQ]

Our first ever win over Premier League opposition and our reward is a trip to West Brom who prop up the Premier League at the time of writing.

Equally stunning, we haven't drawn a single match all season, including pre season friendlies.

Elsewhere in the Third Round...

CHELTENHAM TOWN 1 Southampton 3

HAMPTON & RICHMOND BOROUGH 1 Stoke City 3

HINCKLEY UNITED 1 Manchester City 5

2026/7 - Newcastle Town (League One)

It's where we folded like cards

Board: Respectable position

Media: 12th

Bookies: 33-1

Season tickets: 1262 (up 192)

We move into the 6867 (1716 seated) capacity Newcastle Town Stadium and we christen it in front of 6618 and demolish Swindon Town 5-0.

An excellent start sees us win our first four and after a quarter of a season we're challenging.

Christmas comes. Bradford City and ourselves are clear. We haven't drawn all season, not even in pre season friendlies.

After the Birmingham cup win we don't win in seven and we drop down to 4th.

Bradford pull clear, we recover to fight with Preston and Swindon for second.

Swindon finish strongly to claim second, being especially good away from home. We have to settle with the playoffs where we edge past Scunthorpe before not turning up against Sheffield Wednesday at Wembley in my 900th game in charge.

2026-7-1.jpg

PLAYOFF FINAL: Sheffield Wednesday 5 Newcastle Town 1

FA CUP FOURTH ROUND: West Bromwich Albion 3 Newcastle Town 1

LEAGUE CUP SECOND ROUND: Newcastle Town 2 Everton 5
