Season 2 - 2008/2009 - Blue Square North

On the back of a positive end to the first season I still felt changes were in order. I signed a few players
and got rid of the rubbish I discovered in the first year. Lost the first game of the season thinkin
here we go again, but a run of 24 league games without a defeat left me fighting Boston all the way
for top spot. A last minute equaliser on last game of the season meant i had to settle for 2nd place
and the dreaded playoffs. An extra time winner in the semis set up the hammering I gave out in the final.
Promotion!

Media Prediction - 3rd
Board Expectations - respectable league position

Players in 6
Players out 10

Final position - 2nd (promotion via playoffs)
Cups - not worth mentioning lol

League: W23 D15 L4 F78 A42 GD+36 P84 (one point behind boston)

Top goalscorer - aging striker - 24

Summary - Delighted at finally getting out of the bottom tier, dont think i could have handled
another year at the bottom

Season 3 - 2009-2010 - Blue Square Premier

The summer kicked off with an approach from Inverness CT, which I almost caved at following another £0 transfer fee from the Tamworth board.
However I stuck to the task got rid of a few players brought some in.
The legendary aging striker was pretty much no more goals had dried up, this was to be his last season here.
A good start with 2 wins looked promising then from then on it was a rollercoaster ride with the outcome a very respectable 10th place.

Media Prediction - 18th

Players out - 5

Final Position - 10th
Cups - crap again

League: W19 D12 L15 F53 A46 GD+7 P69

Considering you've posted in the Devil's forum, I won't bother to read this.

It's a shame, Shaun. The update looked good. If you want to stick around in this forum then you may want to forget about using the Editors forum, especially to add your local team.
