My first season and was happy to get promotion, with Younghusband frequently injured goals were precious, thankfully my defense proved effective, and my keeper, was reliable. The finances look red, and to my astonishment the board decided to take out a 1.3 million pound loan for a new stadium! As the new season approaches the bank manager circles the Motormen (6)

All you people and your stadium loans... I'm hoping I get a 15 or 20k seater by the time I get to nPower 1 or Champ.

 

[Pinadiku]

How do you hope that smokey?

I actually have profit on my monthly budget, got over a new chairman, and still no funds to make a new stadium
I promoted from BSP to L1 right now, and have no wage budget to get better players....

 

[Smokeydubbs]

The last time I did a long game save I was bringing Burton up. I was losing money every month until I had a deep cup run during L2-Champ years. Finally the TV money started coming in during Prem. Aside from that I was filling my stadium every game and expanded every year I could. 5000 to 6000, 6000 to 9000, 9000 to 15k, and they still didn't want to get a new stadium. ****, I even won the Champions League and had MILLIONS in the bank, still nothing.

My hope is I don't have to do that again.

Just started one Gloucester in Blue Square North. Top after 3 games W2 D1.. Media prediction is 18th

 

[SamR]

Started as Hampton and Richmond Borough. Media prediction is 19th. Top after 5 games. Have found arranging friendleys in international breaks against big teams gives you a nice cash boost and I just play my reserves and u18s as you still have games at this level, just played Sunderland on a monday and got £22k

You've just made my day mate. I think you're the first to get a season done with Vauxhall (I'm in the middle of 1 as well) and you haven't managed to get Counago neither, which demonstrates just how difficult Vauxhall is.

 

[saulabbiss]

I have to say I haven't been that lucky so far but, I have found a few good youngsters that are now being tailed by the likes of Southampton, and Preston...

I just sold my u21 for 2.5m to burnley after he scored 31 goals in league 1 to get me promoted not that i had much choice other than to sell him as club in poor finacial state so chairman stepped in!!!

 

[noobito]

Sometimes i really hate this game, I have next to no money after getting promotion to League 2 and i've already had a loan taken out for a new 5900 seater stadium which will help ofcourse come 2014 but not helping my finances right now.To add to that my board decide that seeing as we turned pro it would be a good idea to upgrade both training and youth facilities at a total cost of 480k.Around 4 million spent by the club and it has left me with a tough task to build a team.

Out of my entire squad i think 3 players are on full time contracts and those are 3 youths i just signed this season as cover, Everyone who came up with me who i managed to keep is still on part time or no contracts at all.I have players who were on £200 a week demanding 1-1.5k a week when the max i can offer is £500 a week and my budget is a tiny 4k a week.

Noone else is willing to pay the wages they demand neither though so i am able to keep my team together pretty much it just means i cant really make any signings apart from loans, That being said having Leeds as my parent club is a massive boost, Becchio and Sam on season long loans aswell as a AML and keeper plus a couple on loan from other clubs.I think of my 10 signings this season 6 are loans and 3 are youths, The last one is a 31 year old keeper who only set me back £200 a week.
