2015/16 Pre-Season
I have a fear that the media have over estimated what we can do, although we did beat Kettering Town, Le Havre Reserves & Aston Villa Reserves which were all great results, all our players are still on amateur contracts and there was only one player stolen from us and that was (YP2a).

watch out for Guernsey. I hear they can play abit.
Brilliant promotion, back to backs possible in your opinion?
They can play a bit, they got back to back promotions to play in the Southern Premier League last season but they finished last and got relegated.
I wouldn't rule out back to back promotions for us, although it's not what I'd be expecting, but anything is possible this low down!
Also, the tickets have really soared by 3!

A much better month, although we still only just sit outside the relegation zone as all the teams around us have done just as well, we're also through to the Second Round of the Ismathian Ryman League Cup.

Did your chairman change your status of the club from amateur club to a semi-professional?, and did you lose any of your players on free transfers because of them being on amateur contacts?. Also how did manage to sign players on semi-professional contacts with low finances?. Or how did you manage to raise finances of your club?. I manage Runcorn Linnets in the North West Counties Premier Division. Got promoted to the next level, but lost most of good players on free transfers, because of them being on amateur contacts. The chairman did change status to semi-professional, but I couldn't afford to pay them semi-professional contacts due to financial reasons!. Also couldn't attract decent players to the club?, plus youth team squad got no decent players in there, I had one or two decent players, but also left me on free transfers because amateur contacts.

Keep on going, good story so far!.
Yep, our chairman changed our status when the league re-set day happened and we changed league.
In the 4 seasons of playing we've lost 13 players from the team, 4 of those having the (YP) tags, these were (YP1b & 1d) in 2013/14, we lost YP1c in 2014/15 and we lost YP2a in the season changeover into 2015/16.
We have a £2,500 wage budget but I still have all my players on amateur contracts, if an offer comes in for any players then I'll give him a Semi-Pro contract.
We built up our finances because of the great FA Cup run last season unfortunately for some reason we then lost £350k due to scouting costs which has put us in a worse financial position than we were before and our finances are insecure.
Also, you're lucky having a stadium that holds 1,600. My stadium capacity is only 200!

Doing well, also are you missing YP2a.
February 2016
Another bad month even with there being only 2 games, very disheartened by the Beaconsfield result as they're only in 15, at least I get the Youth Intake in March and hopefully I can get some good reinforcements.
