Too late for me to start my story? Started the game though.

Never too late to start a story

Cant believe I missed this!

As I already have a game with Pools started, I think I might have to take this opportunity. Great to see you guys having a crack with my team.

I think I have already completed one stage, winning promotion via the play-offs in my first season. With 12 games gone I am 6th in the Championship - Scorza and Ederson are going nuts.

So I pick a title, start a thread and its OK to take it from where I am, yes?

No problem there - look forward to your attempt.

Surely SI or Eidos would provide a free replacement if you sent them the pieces? Just have to figure out which!

I would like to formally announce that I have finally completed Stage 1 by taking Hartlepool to promotion. \o/

I also would like to anounce that this officially ends my challenge (not that it matters much as PM7 had this challenge in the bag ages ago).

I think that I will continue to post my Hartlepool story, but I will not be following the challenge guidelines anymore. I might see if I can get Hartlepool up into the Premier League. :cool:
