Welcome to my first post on this forum!
This year I have decided to document my FM19 save in which I will be playing as a custom team that I have created called Kidderminster United, based in a town near to where I live.
Kidderminster United will start in the Vanarama National League North and as the name of this thread suggests, the aim of this save will be to use our outstanding youth academy to generate funds and produce players to help us climb up the leagues.

Founded by fans that want to put Kidderminster on the map, hundreds of thousands of pounds have been pumped into the clubs youth facilities and recruitment in the hope of producing future stars that can carry the club to glory.
The 'English' La Masia

La Masia is the name of FC Barcelona's world famous football training facilities. This academy holds more than 300 young players, and has been praised since 2002 as the best in the world, being a significant factor in FC Barcelona's European success. In 2010, La Masia became the first youth academy to have trained all three finalists for the Ballon D'Or in a single year, with Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi and Xavi.
Now in come England's answer to La Masia... Kidderminster United! This is a club with the same key values as Barcelona in regards to youth policy; churning out youth prospects and either incorporating them into the first team or selling them for a huge profit.
Philosophy
· Academy players regularly brought through to the first team
· Signing players under the age of 24
· Only money generated through transfers can be reinvested into the team

Stadium & fan base
Kidderminster United play at The Glades Arena, a 10,000 all seater stadium. (I have named this after a local leisure centre that has been demolished, thought it sounded like a cool name)

For the 2018/2019 season the club has sold around 2,500 season tickets, this makes the club one of the best supported teams in the non league.The club has a very fierce rivalry with Kidderminster Harriers, their cross town rivals. Other derbies include; Stourbridge, Walsall, Worcester City and Birmingham City.

Team
The team that I inherit will be luck of the draw as I am going to use the 'add players to playable teams' button.
