To the Dream

Genuinely can't wait to get into this save. My Peterborough save will run alongside this but depending on how this goes one will take priority eventually. Think I'm going to try a totally different approach with regards to updates to ensure there's no danger of text upon text. There was just something about this club that made me want to take them to the Premier League.. I don't know what it is, I just felt that I needed to. They've been going since 1945 so they're a reputable club, but I want to turn them pro.



As you can see the club has enjoyed quite a fruitful 2 years.. being crowned champions twice in as many attempts. They blitzed through the Regional First Division and then went on to take the Regional Premier Division by storm too - thus landing themselves in the Skrill South, with the expectation of finishing 4th. That's where I come in - I won't settle for 4th, I'm going up this season whether they like it or not, bitches.



Look at our captain, what a hero. He's 39 years of age and his name will ring a bell to quite a few of you. He is on board with Whitehawk having played a very respectable 9 seasons in the Championship with Millwall and Palace racking up well over 250 appearances at that level.. but never reaching the Premier League. I feel like I owe it to him to get him there whether he has retired and joined the coaching set up or is still our captain at the tender old age of 44, let's do it... FOR MATT LAWRENCE! (couldn't help myself but mention his pace and acceleration)

I know a guy that used to play for Whitehawk in the county division, so I've always kept a vested interest in them. Keep it up!

|Good Luck Sam

Small world!


Thanks Jamie.



The Whitehawk ultras.

Strengthened some positions in which we had bugger all by bringing in 4 players. Trani stands at 6ft 7 so he's a big lad. Shelled out and spent £5k on Noble who's a versatile chap being a natural in 2 positions. Pinched a right-back from the Met Police, seeing as he was on a rolling contract we didn't pay a penny. The fellow who left the club was absolutely shit (yes, even by this club's standards) yet was earning a cool £500 a week - cya.

We qualify for the first round of the FA Trophy after giving Ebbsfleet a good old pasting. Hit the post on 4 occasions too so this could well have been an even nicer scoreline but it wasn't to be. As for the FA Cup we went out in qualifying against Eastleigh. Meh.

Bossin' shit.



Halfway stage and we're top of the pile. Flying in the league - top goalscorer, top average rating and top assister (is that a word?). Due to our pretty successful FA Trophy run we find ourselves with a few games in hand on surrounding teams. However, if you look down the league the games played column is all to fuck anyway. Oh well.



Conference side Woking out of the way. Easy.



Another victory against a Conference side. Just as easy. We play Dartford (another conference side) in the third round for any of you avid followers of the coveted FA Trophy.

#DoItForLawrence

Easy.



Drat. First side we play in the Trophy that aren't a league above us and we get beat.. complacency setting in there. Oh well, no more fixture congestion - can fully concentrate on getting this side their third consecutive league title.

IDIOTS.



We ran the league the whole season. We were beating everyone and all of a sudden we were without a win in 4 games, but still... the situation was not totally bleak. We needed a draw against Dover in the penultimate game of the season to take it to the last day. We got beat 3-1 - and deservedly so, we were absolutely shit. So we have to settle for a play-off spot. Grrr.



We deserved more. We scored 96 goals for crying out loud. We deserved more.

Oh for God's sake. Left ourselves with it all to do in the second leg..



But we're Whitehawk Football Club, no one stands in our way. Danny Mills took his total to 31 league goals this season, monster.



We play Eastleigh in the final, bring it.

We won the play-off final and are therefore promoted to the Conference. We managed to eventually get by Eastleigh after a very eventful last 8 minutes of the game. The might Hawks stuck away all 5 of our penalties with Daniel Emerton missing the penalty for Eastleigh. Onwards to the conference!



League Player of the Year goes to our boy Jamie Smith. The player we brought in on a free at the start of the season enjoyed a ridiculously good campaign racking up 15 league goals and 20 assists along the way. Played son.

Congrats on gaining promotion to the Conference.

Cheers Shedender!

Well done mate! brilliant first season! Just a shame you blew it at the top!

Thanks Dan mate! Yeah bit annoying we really ballsed it up!

Congrats On promotion to Conference Sam

Great job getting promoted! Playoffs looked quite tight and exciting

Cheers Jamie!


Thanks mate. Yup, they were definitely games for the neutrals!



Brought in 3 players in a bid for a successful first season in the Conference. I'm very much hoping that the play-offs aren't too much to ask this season as I don't fancy hanging round in this league for long. Fully aware we'll have to be shit hot for that to happen, though.

One step closer...



We draw cup minors Yate Town in the second round... the dream is alive.

Love the FA Cup runs when your a small team, last season I managed the FA Cup Third round! Its all about the money!

Hope I can make it that far Dan!

Speaking of the FA Cup we saw off Yate Town in an underwhelming 1-0 win.. but it'll do.

... Aaaaaaand we didn't get that far. Game changed when Coventry got the penalty which is really annoying as we had a foothold in the game for sure.



Results have been disastrous lately, something needed to change. Opted for a new tactic, ditching the all-out style we had in the Conference South last season and rolling with a 4-2-2-2 to make us less shit at the back. I have high hopes for it so hopefully it can be the catalyst to spark a late surge up the league.

As a result of the change in style I've left myself short in the DM department so I've brough it Saudi Arabian Ahmed Abdulla on a free from Barnet to add a bit of depth in that area. Looks to be quite a decent player, too.

He is never leaving.

Well, we achieved our season expectations and then some by staying up and finishing 13th in the league. Really happy with the final league position due to the fact that 18 games in we were marooned in the relegation zone and looked absolutely fucked so I'm particularly pleased that we managed to turn that around. Going to start building a side capable of playing in the Football League next season and make it our season.

Brilliant work mate, surviving the skrill premier first time of asking is brilliant, its what I done too! haha

Great season to stay up mate! I guess the change of tatics worked! Keep up the good work!

Cheers George! Sure did mate, saved our season.

Oops.



Haha. In more positive news, signed an absolute beauty of a player for a mere £30k. Conference player of the year with 6 goals and 19 assists at the tender old age of 16! Alex Staley has the potential to be a successful Premier League attacking midfielder so I'm happy as hell to have him on board.
