Tiverton FTW

Halesowen came up, but Tiverton had more grey players and is in an area where progress will be harder (Devon instead of Midlands). Plus it seems like a load of peopl with go for Halesowen when they come up.

Come on you cider drinkers!

The game obviously takes some notice of which divisions the promoted teams are coming from. By which I mean that of the teams with 1000 rep, I've seen Bedford, Hitchin and Tiverton quite frequently, while I've yet to see Fleetwood, Prescot Cables or Stamford. Which seems to be because there are only two teams with higher reputations in the Southern Premier, where the first three clubs come from, while there are nine teams with higher reputations in the Northern Premier.

Which means if you're hoping for one of the lower rep teams in the Northern Premier, you're in for a long wait. And if you get a 1000 rep team from that division, then they'll probably be relatively rare.

Just thought I'd share my experiences. :thup:

Started with two 1-all draws against my under 18s and the reserves, followed by 4 sound friendly beatings, but we just won the first league game of the season! Brace from the young newgen Charles Lamb who's already my best senior player according to my ass man! Here we go. :cool:

I have now seen Carshalton but not sure I want them. Did a save as on that game with me still as a Holiday Manager, and have offered the file to Allan if he wants to host it somewhere.

I will now continue reloading to see what else I can find, and will do saves on any other lower rep things until I either get bored or find one of the teams I want.
