Psycho1970's English Regional League System
Last year (Nov 2011) I had an idea after seeing on SI games forum a few regional databases floating around and thought about creating a database that would change Europe solely into england ie each nation would become a county with the continent becoming England the other continents would become the other 4 nations of the United Kingdom and the 6th one would be for the larger European nations, however when I realised the amount of time this would take I approached a renowned editor to work with me on this project alas he turned the offer down.
However Last week I had a eureka moment and decided to pick the project up once again albeit on a smaller scale heres how it works -
All 775 Teams from england in the Database have been sorted into their ceremonial counties
Greater London - 68 teams
South East - 171 teams
South West - 97 teams (contains Welsh teams that were in the current League system)
East of England - 114 teams
East Midlands - 83 teams
West Midlands - 76 teams (contains Welsh teams that were in the current League system)
North East - 37
North West - 77
Yorkshire & Humber - 52
Each Ceremonial county has up to 8 leagues, a League Cup and 2 of the counties have a lower league cup and theres a FA Cup competition involving all teams
No team will get promoted or relegated to the wrong ceremonial county league.
To get around the European club competitions qualifying at the end of the season there is a Playoff invoving the 9 Premiership champions with the top 4 entering the Champions League and the following 3 depending on the winner of the FA Cup (gets automatic place) in the Euro Cup.
The top team in the playoff also play the FA Cup winners in the community shield.
And as a pre-season cup I have created the Old Prem Cup, everyone knows that their have only been 4 teams that have won the Premiership but did you know that only 8 teams have been runners up - Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea and Blackburn all winning and finishing runners up with Liverpool, Aston Villa, Newcastle Utd and counting this years runners up to be ;P Man City.
A little bit of tweaking and a final test should see this uploaded late tonight or tomorrow at the latest.
My idea to turn the world into the United Kingdom is something I'm still interested in doing and will be approaching a few editors to see if there willing to help for a FM13 release, if you would like to take part in this project then PM me and I will give you more details.
Thanks.
