Vipertitan Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 History of the Club Dollingstown Football Club is an intermediate-level football club from Northern Ireland. They currently play in the Intermediate A division of the Mid-Ulster Football League. In the 2010–11 season the club was denied promotion to IFA Championship 2 for fielding an ineligible player in eight league matches. As a result, they were deducted all the points they gained in the matches the player took part in, and finished in 4th place instead of 1st. The club appealed the decision, and took their case all the way to the High Court, but it was dismissed. Had they won their case they would have been promoted, with Chimney Corner being relegated. Tandragee Rovers were crowned champions of the division instead, but did not apply for entry to the Championship,In the 2012–13 season, they narrowly missed out on a place in Championship 2 again. After winning the league title, they faced Northern Amateur Football League champions Newington in a two-legged play-off for promotion, and lost the tie on the away goals rule after it finished 4–4 on aggregate. A 3–2 home win followed by a 2–1 away defeat was not enough, and Newington were promoted at Dollingstown's expense. Club Profile-Playing in My favourite colours hopefuly we can become best club in the land. General Info -no real info about the team there a semi professional team. Manager Profile- I'm use my self for this save and using a 4 2 3 1 formation with an attacking style play, i forgot to take a screen shot from the start of the save. Facilities- Not the best of stadiums but hopefully the players are capitalize on the style of play i want to play. Squad- With a small squad at my hands i will be looking to bring in few extra players for cover. Finances being £29.k in the red i will be looking to try and reduce this to zero. Game Set-up I've loaded just the Northern Irish Leagues only as this save is part of my Gundo's FM14 European Adventure Challenge, and also try get some milestones to aim for along the way. I'll be looking to complete my seasons quickly and i will try and make this thread as enjoyable as the other threads that i have looked at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
