GreyedOutMan Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Ridiculously frustrated by this game at the moment. Not sure what I need to do to get over the line. We did improve this year though...our best points tally at this level and half the number of defeats of the previous fewest. But I don't see how we get any better than this, to be honest.

GreyedOutMan Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Finally! An 81st minute goal from Ryan King, who hadn't scored all season, sent us up at the ninth time of asking. It took five playoff campaigns and three playoff finals, but we are FINALLY out of the 8th tier! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitbox Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 All Roads Lead to Radstock - Season #10 31/32 For most people, the pressure of managing a football team would be too much. But Mike Dando is not most people. Throughout his decade at the helm of Radstock Town, a side completely unknown outside of their district, he has shown the grit, passion and imagination necessary to prove all those who have underestimate him along the way. After each promotion, the armchair experts at home and in the media predicted that that plucky Radstock had finally reached their ceiling, and each time Dando proved them wrong. Now, in his tenth season, Mike Dando has taken Radstock to the zenith of English football, the Premier League - his final and hardest challenge in the domestic game. It wasn't just the league where Radstock shone. After failing to win a single EFL Cup match in any of their previous three seasons, Radstock Town enjoyed an astonishing run that saw them through to the Semi-Final, including a huge upset in the Quarter-Final against the eventual Premier League champions, Man City. After a thrilling 3-3 draw, where Radstock showed the determination and spirit to come from behind three times, Dando's men held their nerve to win on penalties. Radstock's board has supported Dando with continued investment that has given the club one of the best youth academies in the country. This year's class was especially impressive, boasting some players that have the potential to be superstars for the club for years to come. And to get the club ready for top flight football, a brand new stadium is finally being built as the club says goodbye to Yeovil Town's Huish Park, a ground that Radstock has called home since the National League South. While the Radstock Town Stadium is being built, the club will ground share at Bristol City's 27,000 all-seater stadium, Ashton Gate.

avzbruvz Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Seventh season complete and we this is the first time we didn't get promoted. We came so close though. We finished the league stage in 6th, and after taking the lead in the playoff final, in front of over 50,000, we had a man sent off and ended up losing to Forest Green Rovers. Definitely was a better season than I expected, but we go again next year. Edited February 26, 2023 by avzbruvz Incorrect information Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

krakonico Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 We won the league, but it was up until the final day of competition. Whitehawk lead the group for most part of the season, and we at the midseason was just fighting for the fifth or sixth places, then we bounced and made some good runs. `So far: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyedOutMan Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 After winning the first six games in a new league, conceding just two goals, I wasn't expecting it to take until the third-last game for us to secure our place in the league. I'd have taken it at the very start of the season, but 29 points from the last 36 games is a real worry. Slightly concerning that the attendance dipped despite a promotion but I suppose those last 36 games will lead to losing some support! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitbox Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) All Roads Lead to Radstock - Season #11 32/33 After their team's historic rise through the English football pyramid, Radstock's football-mad community was awash with excitement for the first season in the Premier League. Starting off with a respectable loss against Newcastle and draws against Leicester and Brentford, Radstock Town announced to the world that they had arrived and wouldn't be the pushovers predicted by the media. The jump in quality was noticeable, particularly in defence with goals much harder to come by as Radstock broke their own team record for games without a goal twice during poor runs in October and December. Those were the only periods during an otherwise impressive season, which saw them do the double over Man Utd, as well as a memorable 3-0 home win against Arsenal, and scoring 12 goals across 2 matches against Wolves. After a long barren period in the middle of the season, Owen Kane scored some key goals on his way to reaching double figures for the season in the league. Easy wins against League 1 and League 2 opponents kicked off Radstock's FA Cup run before a tough tie against Spurs at home. 4 goals in the first 13 minutes saw off the current holders, before the Miners disappointingly lost 3-0 to Brighton in the quarter final. The less said about the club's early exit from the Carabao Cup the better.

EvertonblokesMobile Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Forth season went amazingly well in the league, claiming top spot in early March and finishing a massive 25 points clear of second place! Harrison Nee was again my personal choice for player of the season with a massive 49 goals, all in the league. Hes going to be mad at me soon though after I failed again to improve the training facilities, this could lead to a problem as he wont sign a new contract so will be sticking to his pay as you play deal. Being able to offer the whole squad part-time contracts will be good as I'm over £200k in the red so need to try and sell a few players for profit if I can, although Tier 6 may be too low to get that kind of money back in the coffers. ne things for sure though, its going to be a busy summer trailing free agents!

TobyK Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Great season in total but heartbroken about the league cup final loss - we lost 2-1 after they had 2 shots on target, one being a penalty and a player of mine got red carded for elbowing someone.

XaW Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 I usually play youth only, but I thought I'd give this a go and have a save where I actually buy players.

Vipertitan Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Chester-le-Street United-Northern League Division 2 2022-2023 This was a bit of the unknown kind season for me I have never been this low down before, League Table- we managed to end our season in 18th position with the media expecting us to finish in 20th place i thought we did well as you can see by Past positions - graph. Fa Vase - Seaham Red star beat us 3 1 in a game where we never turned up to be honest had an average player rate of 6 .6. Northern League Cup- Willington beat us on pens in a really good game was disappointing to loose but proud f the team. Squad - Not really sure what to make of it to be honest still room to improve it. Transfer History - I have no money so been buying free transfers. Finances- we have a net debt of £10,490 and a wage budget of £653 p/w not much to play with just yet. Key Player Profiles: Martin Jedinák - He was the team top scorer with 15 goals this season. Mamadou Djabi- A player signed late in the January transfer window was bought in to help the forwards and had decent return from him. Joseph Ouattara- Winger was solid had created most of the assist too. Chay Christensen- Defender was solid why he is the captain. Career Overview : Season Leauge Position Acchievments 2022-2023 Northern Leauge 2 18th none next season: Going to try a new formation and hopefully it wont take long to for players to get used to it , also hope can get a few more members of staff and players .
