Pre Season Report (Season 2)

A better pre-season for the Wrighty Boys saw them undefeated this year. Being just one step away from the football league Ian Wright and the board issued a plea for some 'higher profile' players, once again, with only 1 player being sold (John White - Crystal Palace), we should be in for an interesting season . . .

Season 3 Summary

With no Warren Cummings in sight, there was no stopping Isle of Wright FC on their way to another double winning season. The League 2 title was secured by early April, finishing off the double following their 3-1 victory over Rotherham in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. SWP was this time the sufferer of the injury curse, with two consecutive long-term injuries ruining his season. At one point, his two back-ups, Djamel Belmadi and Joe Anyinsah also suffered serious injuries, but youngster Franck Moussa did not disappoint at all in the role!

Competition Progress

League 2 - Winners
Johnstone's Paint Trophy - Winners
FA Cup - 3rd Round (v Stoke)
League Cup - 4th Round (v Wigan)

Just a prior warning to everyone, try and save back up games as often as possible, my game has just corrupted, meaning i have lost all of my saved game data. Challenge over! *cry*

Sorry tomo_irons, must have missed your first request. Once it is downloaded, you need to open up the 'Sports Interactive' folder which should be in your 'My Documents' folder, then open up the 'games' folder and paste it in there.

Great idea for a challenge, been looking for a good challenge to do! I'm starting it now! I'll keep you posted on progress...

Can we sign players from outside Europe?

I've signed a few South Africans and a few South Americans. I think thats ok? Am i right?

retired_ladyvalk

Sorry alisalamiii - I have realised that my original instructions were ambiguous, and the intention was for no foreign players at all (unless they are unattached) until league 1. Hope this doesn't inconvenience you too much!
