Bognor Regis! Such wonderous away days you get lol.

Coventry visit us today and I can see them getting a few past us.

Some good news though, we've been given planning permission for a new training ground! Doesn't mean it'll get built any time soon, just another way for the board to show we're making "progress". Drag it out another ten years at the run down portacabin on the dunes...

Since Nuneaton is already done on FM scout forums, only Bradford PA away (yellow Kappa) remains problematic because of lack of good pictures. I'll try to find it on some other clubs websites photo sections, maybe BPA was somewhere as a guest


Going through their twitter again, in addition to the last two images I posted for Bradford PA away there are these five (image1, image2, image3, image4, image5)

You have pics for Telford?

Lowestoft Town, English Conference North
Home (away same as last year)
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/GVVsS12kQHwaEn61J1S8qX6TQOJf2FqsIjEEkCeR.png


The away kit doesn't have a sponsor this year, so if you could remove it from last year's that would be great
Last year kit attached in spoilers in case you need it:

Some movement of note in the Championship today, Macheda switching from Cardiff to Forest - most shocking part of this story was to find out he is only 24 years old! I thought he was at least as old as me! Speaking of Forest, good to see that weird looking gnome-esque player David Vaughan has signed a contract extension. I do love that Welshman, as should Charlie Adam who arguably owes his Premier League career to that man tidying up after him.

Odemwingie to Bristol City will be interesting. Will he ever get back to that goalscoring form that saw him drive all over the country for a transfer payout?

Ok, thank you all, that is plenty of photos for some more kits. Those kits which are same as last year I won't do for now, you can get them from last year pack


Let me know when all the new kits are finished, and I'll cobble together a pack for the division this season

No, but I did half of conference north. I'll post some more later. Unfortunately most of teams from that level have crappy websites and I'm having trouble finding pictures for some away kits. So if any fan or local guy can post some good pictures of following teams, I might do the whole league:

Bradford PA away
Chorley away
United home and away
Lowestoft away
Nuneaton home and away
Stalybridge home and away
Stockport home and away
Worcester home and away

Also third kits, if they exist.

If I'm not mistaken, following teams have kits exactly like last year:
Gloucester
Harrogate
North Ferriby
Solihull
Boston away


Stockport kits on their online shop page here if they're decent enough pictures?

Bradford PA: Best two pictures I could find of their away kit was on their twitter: here and here

Chorley FC: Website article launching their kits for 2015/16 here, seems their away kit is green this year and not blue at all!

Lowestoft FC seem to have a dedicated photographer, their white away kit can be seen here.

Stalybridge Celtic, another win for Twitter. Their kits for this season here

Worcester kits on their shop website here

Hope these are all decent enough photos to help! If not, let me know and I'll keep hunting.

Alfreton Town FC, English Conference North

I made these for my private use, if someone wants to put them in a pack, no problems.

Impressive how Florian Thauvin's spell at Newcastle is currently only his third worst spell at a club - he's 22.

(It's actually possible that it's better than his first Marseilles spell as well)


I heard he's already been sent off back at Marseille, 11 minutes into his re-debut?

So we didn't sign a striker in the end. I wonder how long it will be before Kane gets injured then.

Wow you ungrateful arseholes all you ever do is bitch & moan when is this pack finished or why is it taking so long to finish this pack, kit makers have lives outside of making kits (i.e. work, family, friends, school/college/university etc.) & do it as a hobby. I for one will always put my private/family life first over making kits & all other kit makers will do the same. So stop pissing moaning all the bloody time show some patience & wait cause all kit makers are not at you beck & call to make kits/packs. If you want the pack so badly pull you F****ing fingers out of your backsides & make them yourself.

ArchaonDaniels doesn't make kits/packs on this site he posts on FM-View & hammer9 posts the packs here. I can now say that due to the piss poor attitude of certain members once I've completed my W.I.P. I'm done making kits/packs.


Lol, apt username.

We know people make these as a hobby and therefore don't prioritise time on them. We're saying the problem is that people claim 12 leagues in the WIP when they may get at most 3 done, stopping others from doing the other 9 they've claimed. People should start 1 league, then when they're done with that and have the free time to put in should begin another.

I agree, took me 2 days to do Gibraltan Premier League, admittedly only 10 teams but was horrendous trying to find kits, trawling through facebook pages etc.
This is why I don't get certain people being given 5 leagues to do from the get go, should be one at a time


I think that is the problem with the WIP list. It just seems to be a free for all with certain favoured people being given free reign on claiming however many leagues they want with no time expectations or anything. In the case of the conference north and south it's @ArchaonDaniels who seems to log in weekly but hasn't posted in almost a year; so how did he claim all these leagues to be working on?!

english conference north/south?


I wish! I don't know what the hold up is? Myself and others have posted offers to help find real life kits but whoever is doing them doesn't respond. Hammer, are they definitely being worked on or is this a call for a MIA?

Question - how do Watford make the home-grown player quota for their Premier League squad? You need a minimum of 8 right? According to the BBC this is their current squad, minus midfielder Suarez who they just signed from Fiorentina:

Goalkeepers
1 Gomes 13 Gilmartin 34 Arlauskis Unassigned - Pantilimon
Defenders
2 Nyom 3 Britos 5 Prödl 6 Ekstrand 14 Paredes 15 Cathcart 16 Aké 25 Holebas 27 Belkalem 31 Hoban
Midfielders
7 Jurado 8 Behrami 17 Guédioura 21 Anya 22 Abdi 23 Watson 29 Capoue 33 Dyer Unassigned - Amrabat
Forwards
9 Deeney 10 Oularé 20 Berghuis 24 Ighalo


I make that 28 players (inc.Suarez) and approx 6 home grown players? So that means 5 of that squad need to be left out for the rest of the season come Monday as spaces need to be left for the quota they don't fill and the maximum squad size is 25. Is that correct? Just seems like poor squad management to me, though I suppose they can loan them out.

I know it's nothing new or uncommon, just seems they have a large squad size and a larger amount of inelligable players compared to most...

Yeah, that Mendez-Laing development is a bit of a shocker. Pennant should be a good addition though, just for his delivery. (I don't actually know his FM attributes but I imagine they are decent for League 2).

Barrow to get promoted now!

Oh dear, you signed the self-proclaimed "power" ranger. The guy is a class A twat and that's considering the ones we have in charge of our club.

However, he should get you some goals in League 2 on FM where he can't nearly get up to the same shit he does in real life. I do like your strike force, hope Barnes-Homer gets you plenty! Just can see a couple of them leaving before January such is the amount of forwards at your disposal!

KUTGW.

This season has got to be yours!

Chelsea are apparently getting Pato.

Pato and Falcao. Imagine if it was 2011.


Don't think it's a great signing tbh.

Pedro already wants to leave Chelsea, supposedly

Watch the Leicester v Tottenham game then turn over to catch the last 15 mins of the other match and Liverpool's lap of honour celebrating their victory over Exeter at full time.


Nevermind, car broke down and I was stuck waiting 2 hours plus for the RAC...

Seen the Spurs goals though, decent enough. Tempted by the trip to Colchester to see that fixture. Hopefully the car would make it!

Tiote demanding (and not getting) 100k a week from Shanghai Shenua means he's on his way back to Newcastle tomorrow.

What a greedy cunt

Still, more the merrier til the summer.

Hope it doesn't effect the transfers in that we need (LB, ST, RW)


I heard it was more they wouldn't match the £60k a week he is on now?

Byram has signed for West Ham over Everton, probably the right choice as he is more likely to start games there I think. West Ham also rumoured to be after Sturridge?! One injured ex-Liverpool striker isn't enough, they want another!

I can tell you Dyer was not too loved around Ipswich! Living here you hear a few stories about what an absolute cock he was around the town.
