A Simpler Story
My recent story attempt was a new type of story, with all posts coming from news outlets, as I kicked off a new save with Welling. It seems that this type of story is not too popular with readers as there was a **** of a lot of text to read and I think most prefer to skim over the updates on here rather than get involved with a real in depth story. Not only that, but it was really time consuming to write and with a Mrs and two kids, I was struggling to find the time.
So I'm going to go back to a simpler form of story writing for this one and I hope you all enjoy. I enjoyed the game with Welling, starting at the bottom of English football, so I've decided to kick this one off at the same level.
This time though, I'll be starting in the Vanarama National League North, as manager of AFC Telford.
AFC Telford are a semi professional club based in Telford, Shropshire. The club was formed in 2004 after the original Telford United (founded in 1872) folded due to financial problems. The club are nicknamed The Bucks.
The club have a nice little stadium, New Bucks Head, with a 6000 capacity. They also boast excellent training facilities for this level.

AFC Telford's fiercest rivals are Shrewsbury, Kidderminster Harriers and Nuneaton Town. We'll meet Kidderminster and Nuneaton in my opening season in charge.
Not only do I like the Telford club badge, but I think they have a pretty sharp kit as well.

As for me, I have started the game with experience as a local professional footballer, currently holding a National A License. The club have handed me a £375 wage for my first contract.
