Hello.My first ever story here on fm-base. I've been following quite a few interesting stories here but never actually started one so here it is. I got bored of a Rangers save after 20 season so I decided to start a fresh challenge.
After a quick flick through the English 6th tier teams, I chose Welling United. A quick background.

Full name - Welling United Football Club
Nickname(s) - The Wings
Founded - 1963
Ground - Park View Road, Welling capacity: 5,000 (1,000 seated)
Chairman - Paul Websdale
Welling United are a semi-professional English football club, based in Welling in the London Borough of Bexley.
Welling United Football Club was founded in 1963, by Sydney Hobbins a former goalkeeper with Charlton Athletic for his sons Barrie and Graham.
Their most notable performances came in the late 80's, specifically in the 88'-89' season, when they reached the quarter-finals of the FA Trophy and the third round of the FA Cup losing 1-0 to Blackburn Rovers.
One year later they finished 6th in the Conference national, their highest ever league position.
They play their home games at Park View Road.
In real life, they just won promotion to Conference National a couple of months ago by topping the league. Hopefully, I can repeat that feat in my game.
As you'd expect, the objective is to play in the Premier League as soon as possible. (my aim is to get there within 10 years or so but we'll see how it goes).
I'll post some updates at the end of the season as I'm already deep in the first one.
I hope someone will follow this. Thanks.
