xambo Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Definitely feel some level of attachment to teams I had long saves with. Nottingham Forrest (FM12) Sheffield Wednesday (FM13) Burton (FM14) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLooch Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 The big team for me has been St. Pauli. I started following them about the time I picked up FM2010 and had a blast. I own a couple shirts, jacket, coffee mug and have a sticker on my truck. I get score updates on them, but haven't found a very reliable way to watch any of their matches. Someday I'll make the long trek across the pond to get to a game... someday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brawler Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I was tempted to do a 4 hour round trip to Leicester City, stay in a premier inn, go out and about, get to know the locals before embarking on a long save. On a more serious note though always enjoyed managing Ipswich for some mad reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luton Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I'm a life long Manchester City fan, but since my epic save on FM09 with Porto, i follow them over the internet and watch their games on the tv when they are on. I know its sad for a 42yr old, but i have bought a Porto shirt every season since FM09. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamez_b Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Panathinaikos mainly but Club America, Anderlecht and Salernitana also having had some great games with them over the years.

DEERHAUNTER Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Kettering for me, except they've an into a spot of bother with finances around the time Bale went to Madrid, was gutted. I used Kettering in a Dafuge style challenge and played with a mate who went as FC United on a separate save. Got Kettering to 5th in the Prem multiple times from 2025 to 2039 and back to back winners of Europa League but I just couldn't break into the Top 4 which consisted of Arsenal/Chelsea/City and United who were all owned by billionaire oilmen who were the majority of the clubs who'd be interested in buying my players. Sadly it became monotonous in the end and I grew bored of finishing outside the top 4 for 14 seasons, losing a few of my best players every year to the teams above me (Admittedly as an Arsenal fan if they were interested in my players and any of the other 3 oil clubs were interested I'd only let them go to Arsenal) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

t-zolla Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I have a very soft spot for Dorchester Town, who i have managed on career saves since 09, even to the point whenever i go to dorset to visit family, I go see a game! Also big soft spot for AS Roma, from cm 2 days, when i managed them exclusively for the whole version (and then versions after that) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaWreos Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 For me it's Atletico Madrid from 2007 and Heerenveen from 2012(I think). An intended Journey man game, I started as Barcelona B manager, had a great first season before the A team poached my players on the last day of the window in the 2nd season leading to me under-performing and getting the boot only to soon end up at Real Sociedad B then somehow at the end of the season at Real Zaragoza who where now in the third tier. After dragging them back to La Liga with the help of my Assistant Manager Sami Hyypia, my superstar signing Andy Carroll failed to live up to expectations amongst the rest of my team, so again I ended up jobless, and they gave Sami the boot as well. Then in April Heerenveen called and me along with Sami Hyypia answered taking them on an undefeated run and into the Europa League. The following season with my new signings Kevin Prince Boatang, Gary Hooper, Wayne Hennessey and Robert Snodgrass were ready for whatever Holland and Europe threw at us... almost. Knocked out by AC Milan in the round of 64 in convincing fashion I couldn't help but be disappointed, lost the cup in the final and pipped at the post for the league title by Ajax. So close, yet so far. With little to spend I brought in a few youngsters to the squad... and Carl Jenkinson, and with the horror of last season in my mind we rallied. We stumbled through our champions league group and knocked out Anderlecht in the round of 32 only to find out Real Madrid were waiting for us, the reigning Champions of Europe, home first leg, away second. Five minutes in, it's 1-0 to us, I won't last I thought. Then it happened, penalty, Real Madrid's keeper has been sent off, and the goals kept flying in. Come full time, we beat them 6-0. I couldn't believe it. Bouncing from this win, we went into the second leg looking to park the bus. I wasn't stupid, Madrid would of smashed us if we went looking for a win. And even with 6 at the back, we lost 5-0, going through in the most unconvincing style... Oh and we ended up doing the treble. But it was that game I fell in love with Heerenveen. Before leaving when Dortmund came calling for a season, and then Barcelona the season after. I reached my goal when I started the game, Sami Hyypia stayed at Dortmund to manage, I couldn't begrudge him of that. But still what we did at Heerenveen was magical, no matter what I did at Barcelona I knew I would never top conquering Europe with Heerenveen.

Lion_60 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 SV Spakenburg from 2012. I played with a file for the 3rd tier in the Netherlands, manage the promotion into 2nd tier in the 2nd year, was one or two years in the Eerste Divisie and than we promoted into the Eredivisie. 2018/19 we won our first Championship, but we had no chance in Europe. Walsall FC from 2013. I followed Walsall since I was there for a practical period years ago and 2013 I played with the Saddlers. And we won some titles and played in the Europa League. Walsall will be my main save this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartrcm Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Bath city San Marino Leixoes (2nd division Portugal) Magdenburg Had a lot of fun managing them in previous FM versions, and checking them weekly.

Warhawk Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Seeing as I'm an American who had very little interest in the sport before trying the game a couple years ago, it's not that surprising that this happened to me. After managing Man U for about 3/4 of a season, and then a rather disastrous attempt at LLM with Luton, I decided to try starting unemployed and wait for some firings. I was hired by Eastleigh, and I don't think I've played a game in FM with another club since. Follow them IRL too now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWhite Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 When playing CM95/96 with two roommates I started with Swansea and then left for Wigan, both in 3rd division back then. Always checked on their results after that and managed to see them play in real life when they played a preseason game against my own team FC Eindhoven.

Chicha_14 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Was a guy a year or two back on the forum who went to watch a Dutch side who he got into from playing FM, he put videos and pics up of the day would be good to dig that thread up.

jase19 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 AFC Telford, I started playing as them on FM 11 and since then have always looked out for their scores They were my first lower league club, until I could take control of St. Albans. I've liked Hull for ages. Since they were League 2. I wanna say 01? I picked them to take up the charts just because I liked their name and colours... Ever since then I've been a side-supporter.
