with the new differnet backgrounds for different teams I am going to be makiung a apack for all English teams.

What I'd like if there is one is a apack with a picture of every teams ground on for me to work with as it would make my job easier

got just short of 300 backgrounds up and running....all English and Scottish clubs...plus most of the big clubs from around the world....

Up for download now is an English background pack (1024x768 and 1280x960 versions - if you match your resolution with the pack's resolution there's no need for the game to resize it and so there's no loss in quality). It has one stadium picture for every team down to League Two, including 2005/2006 League Two teams (I wanted to use each teams' badge but couldn't find big enough ones).

No fuzziness or artiness, just proper pictures (with J. Andersson's "Breeze" background layered on top of them so that writing in the game can be read properly - by the way, if that's a problem just say Andersson and I'll take the links down, I wanted to email and ask for permission but I couldn't find where I'd written your email address). They also have backgrounds for every competition in England, from Prem to Conference South, from FA Cup to FA Trophy.

Enjoy!

Alas, that is my downfall; I never play outside of England so, no, just English stuff.

Something I forgot to put for newcomers to this; you need to install Ter's XML changes to get these to work (I've forgot to put it in the readme file but here's everything you need to know, if you haven't seen it in these forums already).

You need to go into your Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2005\data\skins\ directory, go into each skin's folder (or just the one you're using if you're lazy!), go into the "panels" folder, right-click "global panels", click "Open with...", click "Notepad", and delete the following text:

<widget class="background" id="bgnd" file="backgrounds/default">
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0"/>
</widget>

Replacing it with this:

<widget class="background" file="backgrounds/default">
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0"/>
<attachment class="test_global_attachment" get_property="bgnd" mode="1" set_property="hidn" skip_if_null="false" skip_if_resetting="false"/>
</widget>

<widget class="background" file="backgrounds/default" hidden="true">
<layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="all" inset="0"/>
<attachment class="get_global_attachment" get_property="bgnd" set_property="file" skip_if_null="false"/>
<attachment class="test_global_attachment" get_property="bgnd" mode="0" set_property="hidn" skip_if_null="false" skip_if_resetting="false"/>
</widget>

Then you're done!

How can I make these background pictures appear on the match day screen only?

I do not want to see them on any other screen. Any advice would be appreciated.
