stewpot01 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I was looking through some of the club histories yesterday and have noticed that not all of the trophies won by some clubs are not there. Why wasn't the Anglo-Italian cup win included in Blackpool's history, or the Watney cup in Colchester's. It might mean nothing to some people, but just might to the teams supporters.

smithers08 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Becasue they arent cup comps which are played in FM . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GillsMan Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 What Smithers08 said really - the competitions aren't in the database so aren't in the club's history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old Third Divisions North and South are in the Datbase and can be put into the clubs history in the main game, so I don't see that as been an excuse.

elsybelsy Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 It's because the cups arn't being played anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewpot01 Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 It's because the cups arn't being played anymore. Neither are the old comps I mentioned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCFC Gee Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I've seen many competitions that don't exist any more appear in a clubs history so it's not that, does seem strange that they've not been included. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter-evo Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Maybe because they are very low-key trophies? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewpot01 Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Maybe because they are very low-key trophies? Not to the clubs that won them. Blackpool even managed to make the final of the Anglo-Italian cup two years running. The Watney cup had its moments too, I remember Halifax beating Man Utd at the Shay, and Colchester more than deserved their victory in the final.

Tom14 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 My guess is that the competitions that don;t exist anymore would have a really low reputation and therefore SI might not want to waste time searching through records of all insignificant competitions. It would be like putting that Amsterdam tournament or Mallorca Cup in teams history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant in general, yes they are very prestigious to the clubs who won them but maybe they are low-key and old? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swindon69 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 When Swindon won the Anglo Italian Cup, after they took a three goal lead - and eleven minutes from the end, the match was abandoned when the Napoli supporters started to throw concrete blocks onto the pitch in disgust at their team's performance.

You learn something new every day. Where did they get the blocks from? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
