Progress on this save is unfortunately going to slow down over the next few months. On Saturday I will be going skiing (pending booking last minute) and then when I come back and go back to work, we will have started extending and refitting the shop I manage, which is going to lead to many long working days until it is completed in early to mid August.

I'll still play, it just won't be as often. And I don't get to play as often as I would like to now!

I don't know whether you're bothered, but, incase you are, your Skype name is visible on that screen there.

That's a shame about a further reduction in your playing time, but I am certainly jealous of that skiing trip!

When do you get to play golf?

2016/7 - Newcastle Town (Northern Premier League Premier Division)

It's where end of season form counts

Board: Playoffs

Media: 5th

Bookies: 14-1

Season tickets: 95 (up 3)

Start very well and we top the table early doors. We also make some progress in the FA Cup.

Into November and we hump leaders Bradford Park Avenue 5-0 to go back to the top. Things are looking very good.

Then we get hit by injuries again, this time in November and December. We manage to stay in the top three.

Things slip in the New Year as Bradford Park Avenue pull clear, though we cling on.

We improve, though the top two are now too far clear. We are bang on form as we make the playoffs, having won the last four and unbeaten in thirteen.

We dispatch Witton 2-0 at Wincham Park in the semi final, before outplaying AFC Fylde in front of a record crowd at Lyme Valley to again win 2-0.

Just got home from golfing and wanted to say good luck in the BSN. I think you can compete with it; it's often got a fairly wide spread of ability top to bottom, since not enough teams exit out the bottom each year, IIRC.

We shall see. Despite doing well the last two seasons, we need to be more potent in front of goal in Conference North.

TEW is along the lines of Football Manager but instead of managing a football club, you either own to manage a wrestling promotion.

TEW is a blast from the past..I used to play that years ago. It was really basic back then and you'd only get the show / event results after organising the card and storylines. What's it like these days?

It is a lot more advanced these days and has far more depth... though the results are of similar nature, fairly basic.

A demo can be downloaded from here.

If memory serves me correct, all features are fully active and you get one game month of play. Like FM, if you like the game, the save file can be transferred to the full game.

Congrats on the promotion Nobby! Great career so far...what attracted me to it funnily enough was the fact that you got relegated!! I like seeing threads where people aren't just winning everything in site!

Keep up the good work and good luck in the Blue Square North!!

Tough luck missing out on the Playoffs Nobby. But a good season overall. Should set you up nicely as a real promotion contender next season.

Ouch, I see my Stags got relegated.

Are you a Mansfield supporter? My Grandad played one game for them in the sixties I think, so I always keep an eye on them, though recently it hasn't gone so well....

2017/8 - Newcastle Town (Conference North)

It's where I'm left pinching myself

Board: Stay clear of relegation

Media: 17th

Bookies: 10-1

Season tickets: 102 (up 7)

A new kit deal is signed worth £4400 per season for four seasons.

We kick off our first ever game at level 6 at Droylsden and come away with a creditable 2-2 draw.

Our first win comes in game four, a 1-0 victory at Kidderminster.

We get into a groove, helped by a fine cup run and push into the playoffs. We even win 2-1 at leaders FC Halifax.

Into the New Year though and our form dips.

We rediscover our form and start shooting back up the table.

A strong run puts us in contention for the sole automatic promotion place but Fleetwood seal it with a game left.

league-7.jpg

The semi finals see us beat Barrow 2-0 away and 1-0 at home, which sets up a final between the North of Staffordshire and the South.
