Board announced building of new stadium due to be finished in 2015 with capacity of 6,789. Stadium to be called Fallon Arena.

Got rid of entire youth setup to free up money for first team. This was not an enjoyable season.

Hi Dean, thanks |), I started my game on November 24, so about a month and a half oO)
It usually takes me a few days to complete a season, I spend alot of time scouting for new players (from the bargain bin) and telling my players to train harder hehe, im not sure if that works but it improves their moral a little which is good.

Hi guys

I'm currently doing this with a Lowly team from Belgium. Currently 4th with about 9 games to go although the computer says i've already qualified for the Play offs, were as the top two teams haven't. I was wondering, If a job offer comes in for a team which is at the same level, can you continue the challenge with them? or is it a one team game?

Even if you could, why would you want to do that?

Going into the league 1 season with a budget of 34k transfer and 24k wage - going to be hard this season so not expecting anything but survival.. also just finished a stadium upgrade to 5763 capacity with another upgrade being planned (all of these are done by the board without my input) and i am lacking funds because of it. Lost a few of my best players to retirement... so relying on the youth this year.

Difficult season, starting very well with Jon Warren scoring lots, but then chelsea came with his cash and i lost a player in January and my team just didn't come back. After the end of the season i completely changed my squad, almost all the old time players that helped me getting here are gone and fresh new meat arrived, hopefully to challenge promotion next season. I also applied and got a job managing Wales :D

One of those seasons where I have no idea how I did so well! Started the season with 14 players but managed to convince a few bigger names to join in september. Signed Dinis as cover and he turned out to be v v good! Have signed 3 players from Barcelona B on pre contrtacts so hopeful of a similar season.

A topsy-turvy season which started and ended very strongly but was dreadful in the middle: promotion was looking very unlikely at the beginning of February as I was floundering around in 14th, but then went on an incredible run, only losing twice and drawing twice in the league until the end of the season, finishing up 2nd. A sad moment saw Omar Koroma, club legend, leaving for pastures new as he was, frankly, terrible in League One!

Expected to hang around league 1 for 2 seasons, but a few of my youngsters stepped up and got us back to back promotions. Probably got something to do with the slight difference in standard from L1 to L2. I have uploaded my 2 strikers, these guys really do the business when playing together.

What a year! We lost games we should've won and won games we should've lost. In December, we were 14th in the league and i had already been told twice that i needed to win my next match otherwise i faced the axe. In January, we loaned Leigh Griffiths off Wolves and he saved our season. With his help we only drew 3 and lost 2 in the second stage of the season. Leigh Griffiths is someone we are going to try to sign for the next campaign.

The final position and the FA Cup couldn't be achieved if it wasn't for the loans i got in January, my team was not doing well until then, Massek got injured for 3 month in November and i had to play way too many games without ANY striker, it was frustrating how i could score a single goal...
But in the end, it all turn out perfectly and i think next year i a in the Euro Cup!! Also my reputation grows so now players actually want to come play with us!!

Very much a season of consolidation in the prem while the board got the ground up to scratch. Started quite well but finished terribly but we were already comfortable safe by then.
This season also saw the end of club legend Jamil Adam's Vauxhall career.
