Chasing Lamely

I've been working on a new British League Patch, but I need help testing it to see if it's working fully. I've taken over the Welsh league and made up the clubs in it from scratch and filled their squads with free agents. It's based on the SI 7.0.1 update.

All clubs have obscure reputations and little/no money.

Known Errors: Two teams (Wrexham and swansea) have stadia missing. 'Great Britain' Nationality regens have distinctly non-British names. Great Britain national team plays in Group A of Euro Championship Qualifiers... but has no fixtures in the group.

Other notes: Some uncapped British players from the Premiership have been made dual-nationality. I'm unsure whether to go through the database and make all british players this way.

Great Britain National Team info:
Stadium: Highbury, London
Manager: Brian Little

Squad:

Ben Foster - Man Utd/Watford (GK)
Chris Kirkland - Wigan (GK)
Stuart Taylor - Aston Villa (GK)

Fitz Hall - Wigan (DRC)
Nicky Hunt - Bolton (DRC, WBR)
Phil Jagielka - Sheff Utd (DRC, DM)
Paul Robinson - West brom (DL)
Michael Dawson - Tottenham (DC)
Jonathan Fortune - Charlton (DC)
Joleon Lescott - Everton (DC)
Tony Hibbert - Everton (D/WBR)

Joey Barton - Man City (DM)
Michael Brown - Fulham (MLC)
Nigel Reo-Coker - West Ham (MC)
Steve Sidwell - Reading (MC)
Jimmy Bullard - Fulham (AMRC)
Gary O'Neil - Portsmouth (AMRC)
Leon Osman - Everton (AMRC)
Jermaine Pennant - Liverpool (AMR)
Shaun Maloney - Celtic (AMRLC, FC)
Gabriel Agbonlahor - Aston Villa (AMR, ST)
Jerome Thomas - Charlton (AML)

Shola Ameobi - Newcastle (ST)
Dean Ashton - West Ham (ST)
Leroy Lita - Reading (ST)
Bobby Zamora - West Ham (ST)

Anyway, this is the BETA version of the patch. If anyone wants to test it out for running errors, etc (My PC is a little slow) it can be downloaded from here - British Super League 1.0 Beta

Any feedback that can improve it is appreciated.

I've found a minor glitch myself, one I'm not sure how to fix... it's not loading fixtures in the team info screen, but it's showing fixtures for the league.

The Golden boy

Id be prepared to test and see what is wrong

Glasgow United should play at Hampden surely and have more attendence having firhill as the stadium is a joke

sthptngomad76

Nice idea though- its a change from the plethora of the usual super leagues that seem to be created every day :thup:

raymondo267

very good idea. nice touch creating the teams.

Chasing Lamely

I appreciate it. I think the reason the league isn't working is because I changed the nationality of the league from Welsh to British - This is the first patch I've attempted, so I'm not sure - but I have no idea how to make the Great Britian team work fully. So far it's only recognizing friendlies.

I was using stadia the database recognizes as disused. With Hampden being home to Queen's Park, Firhill Stadium was the next biggest.

Merseyside play at Anfield because Liverpool are scheduled to leave, therefore the ground will become vacant.
