My first llm team was Inverness Caledonian Thistle in CM2, I think it was the first season they were in the game. I started going to their games and am a season ticket holder now. Although I cannot manage them in Fm (never been offered/good enough ) I still go to all the home matches and some of the away games. Plus I try to go to my local Highland League teams games.

I've always been Spurs, but I started playing as Barnet when they were fist added to the game. I now watch Barnet far more than Spurs.

Barnet are my local team, and were the first team I ever went to see. COME ON YOU BEES

Was it that bad in 01/02?

Having played in 99/00 I remember it as a common experience, but in my long term game on 00/01 I think it's only happened three times. Torquay being the first over 190 seasons into the game (and they'd been promoted before). I soon followed it up by winning the title after half a dozen seasons with Wroxham and then defending it to no avail. Torquay took the title the follwing year, but were then promoted.

I suppose a little. I always look to see how they're doing and what team their manager pplays to give me some ideas.

Ok, replying to title of this thread, here is a bit of obsession. I managed Hitchin for 23 seasons on CM4, and on my recent trip to UK (I'm from New Zealand) I made a point of visiting their ground. I dont know why, it was just a piece of dirt with some wooden benches and a couple posts at each end, but something compelled me.
It could have been worse, I was with Telford in CM3, but I think they went bust for financial reasons and were removed from later versions. (Worse because Telford is further from Heathrow)

Telford have a very nice ground, FB. The New Buck's Head was the venue for the very first LLaMa meet, Telford beat Leigh RMI, fat goalie and all, 3-1.

I played them in CM3 for many seasons (of which my wife considers time I'll never get back) but in CM4 I couldn't find them. Not living in England I dot get the all the bombardment of football information from the tabloids etc, but thought I found some info on the net that they went bankrupt?? (actually, I must confess that I didn't know where Telford was when I selected them, but thought New Bucks Head was a cool name for a ground. I originally selected them solely on this basis)

Sort of, though it doesn't come from an FM game.

I randomly chose to play as MVV Maastricht on another management game (PS2) and started looking out for their results and reading up on their (admittedly bleak) history after i took them to Champions League success.

This lead to me them being my only team on FM06 (my first PC management game) and in seven seasons i took them from struggling Eerstedivisie team to multiple Eredivise and Dutch Cup winners, finishing off with the Champions League :cool:

Well the way things are going if you ask the quessie for FM09 I'll be able to answer that my LLaMa team and the team I support are one and the same

But yes I do tend to keep an eye out and read up on any teams I manage, and even about the area they are from, especially if they're overseas (more so in CM01/02 - Castel Nuevo in Italy was a favourite save of mine serie C to serie A, tiny team but beautiful part of the world)

Even sad enough to admit to normally finding a good stadium pic and using it as a wallpaper!

God it sounds like obsessive behaviour - although it seems I'm in good company!!
