Default Strange habit ?!

Yes I admit, I am addicted to FM, particularly LLM.

But I do have also another strange habit related to this addiction and I am wondering if there are more FM-addicts having this strange “side-effect”.

It all started years ago when we visited my friends in North Yorkshire (I am Dutch btw). As they knew I love football, and even work as a coach for many years now, they asked me if I wanted to visit a football match. But 2 days later they called that unfortunately Middlesbrough had an away game the weekend I would visit.

Of course I was very disappointed, but that evening when I was playing my FM-game I got an excellent idea. I checked on all the clubs in that area, checked their scheduled and watched Bradford playing that particular weekend.

In the meantime I have visited many of the clubs in that area, like Doncaster, Harrogate and Darlington and I really like to watch football played in the lower leagues.

Coming back to my strange habit again. As I am travelling/travelled quite a lot I am always checking FM which clubs are in the neighbourhood and try to catch a match. I always prefer to watch the lower league teams (do not ask me why).

This brought me eg to Silkeborg, Horsens en Vejle in Denmark, watched a 2nd division match of Slask Wroclaw in Poland, watched clubs like Girona, Lleida, Tarragona in Spain and once in a while I visit clubs like Turnhout and Geel in Belgium.
Went to Lanzarote where I even trained the -19 of the local 2ndB division club. And recently I travelled all over Cyprus, but unfortunately these clubs are not playable in FM.

Someone else out there who’s suffering the same addition level …. ?????

Not me, but Harwin, a fellow clog wearer, travelled over here specifically to see Redbridge play, I believe.

There are rumours about people who travelled to Scotland from all over Europe just to see a Scottish Third Division match.

I know, I mean if it were England then that would be understandable, but Scotland!

FFS what are people coming to these days?

I paid a visit to Manchester in May and in my free time I went to watch Stalybridge playing Southport in the Conference North play-offs.

It was a good game, actually. I was amazed that in the penalty shootout, only one player missed - it's not what I expected of Englishmen.

I started my FM07 LLM career at Stenhousemuir, so as they are my favorite 3rd div team I might as well go there ...........

In California there are a number of USL teams (just below MLS) that play regularly, but unfortunately MLS is the lowest playable division on FM (or should I say, WSM)

That wasn't against good keepers though.

True

(though, on a more serious note, I don't think that Portugal's current number one who had defied England twice in the past in penalty shootouts was a better keeper than Portsmouth's health-obsessed veteran or the Arsenal legend with the name of a sailor)
