The Shiners Road To Glory

Some of you may remember the previous story i did on South Normanton Athletic (From Div 11 to the Prem) where i managed to reach League Two and my computer broke which made me lose everything and i was doing really well! I'm going to try it again and push for that Premier League spot! I have loaded up only England down to Div 11 and set the past experience to Automatic so enjoy the story!

South Normanton Athletic F.C. is a football club based in South Normanton, near Alfreton, Derbyshire, England. They play their home games at the Exchem Sports Arena on Lees Lane. They joined the Central Midlands League in 1990, and were promoted to the Northern Counties East League First Division in 2003. Although they were promoted to the Premier Division in 2007, the club folded at the end of the 2007-08 season as the club was unable to find a new committee. However, in June 2009 South Normanton Athletic reformed after a new committee was found.

Season 2011/2012 - Friendlies Announced!

1.png


So my first friendlies have been arranged for my first season and should hopefully make some money to keep the finances ticking over as i won't be buying any players until probably the Blue Square Premier season so I'll be looking to get free transfers for the next 5 or 6 seasons! I'm not expecting to win all of the Chester and Bournemouth will probably hammer me. I did try to get Shamrock Rovers but it would cost me 3k to play them and then 2.5k i would make from playing them so i wasn't planning on spending £500 on a friendly. I cant even get any loans in yet because the players are absolutely awful!

Such a busy transfer period as i did not have any players in the team, I signed 3 players i got from my last save with South Normanton, Bevan Burey, Tony Boto and Matthew Biddle. These 3 strikers was a vital part to winning promotion first time around on the last game. Aristote looks brilliant as well but the only problem is they are all on amateur contracts which means half of my players will be snapped up after a few months.

Not the best pre-season I've had on my time on FM but it was between signing all players so that's acceptable. Roll on the season!

Great start to the season and Tony Boto is playing absolutely amazing! It's a shame i cant offer part time contracts yet. Top of the league since game 1 and looking really good at the minute.

Not a too bad start really disappointed with the Sutton Result but managed to get through the cup games and did pretty well. The team is so inconsistent, one game they can be amazing and the next there awful at defending. Nobody said this challenge is going to be easy!
