The Rise of Ashby Town FC


Those of you who have been on Susie for a while may remember my story in which I took a re-formed Portsmouth from the Evo-Stick leagues and back into the football league over the course of a decade or so, this story will hopefully run in a similar way, except my team is completely fictional and playing at an even lower level.

http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h361/Richard_Beale/2062002151_zps50feb4b7.png
Name: Ashby Town FC
Nickname: The Bulls
Ground: The Bath Grounds, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire
Capacity: 1800
League: Baker-Joiner Midland Alliance


Ashby-de-la-Zouch is my home town, in real life it does have a club, Ashby Ivanhoe FC, however they are way down in the Leicestershire senior league and are not even included as a non-league side in the game so I have decided to represent the town.
I've set them to the same reputation and bank balance as the lowest club in the division (Coleshill Town) to make sure it is a real challenge for me, the squad and back room staff are completely blank, I will have to assemble a team of my own before the season begins.
We will be competing in the Midland Alliance league which for those who are not famliar with the non league system is at the ninth level of the English system (four below the Conference)

The badge is the coat of arms of Ashby Town council, the kits I designed myself using McVities as our sponsor as the company has it's headquarters in the town, The third kit is a bit of a tip of the hat to Leicester City who are the most supported side in the area.
The Bathgrounds is a large public area in the town centre which is home to Ashby Hastings cricket club in real life, however I really wanted this as our home ground, one unique feature is the grounds feature historic Ashby castle at one end as well as the equally history steeped Royal hotel at the other. The grounds was once home to Aston Villa's training facilities before they moved to their purpose built facility at Bodymore Heath near Tamworth. unlike Villa my training and youth facilities are both set to the lowest level.

My aim is to one day reach the Conference and perhaps beyond, this is going to be an all mighty challenge which will take a long time, but one I am relishing. wish me luck!

Will be first time ever seeing Brandy play tonight. Signed him so many times on past FMs it should be good to watch

He failed to impress for us last season.

The match engine is one of my biggest gripes. It's just not for me, none of my tactics that had worked for the past 5 years do now and there seems to be too much emphasis on shouts as well. I'm sure I could get to gripes with it, but I don't feel like I have the time or inclination to do it.

I'm not going to go to the extent I would have when I was younger and say that 13 is a bad game, I just think SI's ongoing attempts to make it as much of a simulation of being a real manager as possible have probably now just crossed the threashold for me and I don't find it as enjoyable anymore.

Classic seems too watered down to hold the attention, either.

Really? I don't use any shouts most of the time unless there is something obviously wrong with the way my team is playing, I find that the simpler you make things the better the results.

Its been confirmed in the last 5-10 minutes that Coventry City are being liquidated.

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey....


Will someone replace them in League One this season or will we just have 23 teams?

I don't understand why they need to 'breath new life' into the show when they have no competition and people will watch in their millions anyway, regardless of how shit the pundits are.

What's Aston Villa starting eleven?

First Half;
Steer, Vlaar, Baker, Bacuna, El Ahmadi, Agbonlahor, Luna, Delph, Benteke, Burke, Weimann.

Second Half;
Guzan, Lowton, Clark, Helenius, Carruthers, Grealish, Westwood, Sylla, Donacien, Gardner, Herd.

It finished 5-0. Delph, Agbonlahor, Benteke, Grealish and Gardner. Gardner's was a wonderful 35 yard free kick.

I doubt they would get many sell outs even if they managed to get back to the Premiership, aside from games against the likes of Man United or Chelsea where it would mostly be local glory hunters sitting in amongst the home fans.

Coventry might not be leaving the Ricoh after all, the stadium operators have offered them a reduced rate of £150k per annum instead of the £1M+ they were paying before.

Makes you realise how badly we're getting ripped of with our dive of a stadium which we pay £350k+ on per season if they can have one f the best grounds outside the Premiership for less than half that.

I used to have a customer who everyone used to do their all to avoid, an old man who went by the name of 'Mr Mothballs' who used to come in with an ancient breifcase that seemed to be full of little else than dust, he would spend twenty minutes ranting about god knows what, how modern politicians are heading for riots in the streets and the end of the world.

I think my company is a bit dodgy with pricing, we've just started selling bottles of pop for 60p, not cheap brands either but Pepsi, 7-up, Sprite etc, these drinks were £1.45 just a few weeks ago, I could understand if they were on offer or short dated but their not.
None of the other shops in the area have done the same, not even the supermarkets, isn't there rules about undercutting the competition in such a way?

In the editor create new nation rules for a country, I would use some football no hopers like Samoa or Aruba, make sure their season start date is in June or July 2013 and ends in May 2014. Your required to have one league competition in the country before you can save so you may need to create on and fill it with amateur clubs.
Once you've saved, load up FM and ensure your new file is selected along with the data update you wish to use and then ensue you set your game to start in that country (you can run it as view only).

You could create some editor data for an obscure country like Papua New Guinea and have the season set to start in July 2013, just run this as a view only league alongside whatever update data your using.
