Believe it or not this is actually the first time I've managed a conference side since stalybridge celtic in the CM01/02 demo.
A 19 year old forward found by my youth scout in january solved my scoring problems and my defence stayed secure (third best in the division). I had a good cup run getting to the 3rd round of the FA cup and semi-final of the FA trophy.
The clubs still in debt by £200,000 would be more if it wasn't for the TV money [IMG]/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif" alt="mad[/IMG].
I Did have the 6th highest average attendance in the conference but I'm afraid that givens Weymouth's location on the English riviera the population demographic dictates that most of these were probably sold at Concessionary OAP prices [IMG]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="big grin[/IMG].
Like I said earlier I've definetly got some potential here, my 15 now 16 year old midfielder played 27 games last year ( I hope I didn't burn him out) this was through neccesisty.
Hopefully I can get some cover in time for next season so that I can rest him a bit.
My starting line up in the last game of the season had an average age of 19.71 and with my two 33 year old veterans scheduled to retire in june I will have only 3 players over 20 years of age.
I was also pleased to see Ankarra D.S. got relegated from the Turkish D2B [IMG]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif" alt="smile[/IMG], That'll teach them to sack me [IMG]/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif" alt="mad[/IMG]
