[FM24] Regionnaire Challenge: Keeping it Local

Greetings all, hope you are well, and thank you for checking out my career!

As the thread title suggests, In this save, I'm going to be attempting the Regionnaire Challenge. 

The Aim: To implement a transfer policy of only using players born/raised in a certain geographic region. Much like Bilbao's policy of using only Basque players.

My Area: I live in Cumbria, in North-West England, however, I spend a lot of time just across the border in South-West Scotland, so I will be limiting myself to players and clubs either side of the Solway Firth, in either the counties of Cumbria or Dumfries & Galloway.

This is a pretty big catchment in terms of area, however, both counties are largely rural and thus are sparsely populated. Carlisle is the only city in either. (and that is only a small city with a population of around 70,000) This will make finding players of sufficient quality a challenge. 

There are only five options club-wise in the vanilla database, so I have downloaded Leo Messi's excellent level 10 English database, as well as a Scottish extension that I have loaded down to tier six to enable the South of Scotland league. These expansions give me the following options;

I won't be limiting myself to one club, I will be able to hop between them, however, I must enforce what I am calling, the Solway development mantra upon whichever side I am managing at the time.

I shall be starting off unemployed, with no coaching badges and a Sunday league reputation, we shall see where that gets me!
