Thanks to the availability of The FM Editor's Engish Level 10 Database, I am able to start my FM21 save with Coventry Copsewood.
Full name: Coventry Copsewood Football Club
Nickname: Copses
Founded: 1922 (as Peel Connor)
Ground: Allard Way, Coventry
Capacity: 2,000
League: Midland Football League Division One
Coventry Copsewood F.C is the cub most local to where I live. The team play their home games at Allard Way, which is often used for local cup finals. Although around the pitch there is one small stand and a small covered shelter behind one goal. The team do have a large (for their level of football) two-storey clubhouse which they share with the other sports clubs which together make up the Copsewood Sports and Social Club. They also have the one of the highest number of teams entered in the Coventry Minor league teams ranging from u-7 to u-16.
History
Officially, the club was formed by employees of former telephone company Peel Connor. Peel Conner was a subsidiary of GEC and produced telephones and switchboards firstly in Salford, Manchester and then in Stoke, Coventry. Years of operation were 1908 to 1923. In 1923 the company was liquidated and all products were then produced under the GEC name. They played in the Coventry District League until 1926 when due to an amalgamation with Magnito Ltd, they were renamed Magnet FC. They continued playing under this name until 1934 when they changed again to GEC (Cov) FC. This name stuck for longer, lasting until the 1970s when they became GPT (Coventry) FC, and then changed again in 1999 to Marconi (Coventry) FC, and then when Marconi sold off their land in 2006, it became Coventry Copsewood FC.
The team are predicted to finish 17th in the Midlands Football League Division One. The board would like me to sign players under the age of 23 and be competitive in the league. The board also expect me to get to the Second Qualifying Round of the FA Vase and be competitive in the Midland Cup. We'll see how all of that goes, there is still pre-season to sort where I'll have the opportunity to build a tactic and bring in some players ready for the upcoming season.
