Welcome to the 3 Year Challenge! This is a fun challenge I came up with a few years back originally just with a couple of friends. When I got into streaming it became a little popular and now it's something that I love to do each year. Take a look at how it works below: Rules I will pick a team that everyone must manage in the series. The aim is to manage that team for 3 seasons and try to be as successful as possible. Along the way you will earn points for cup wins, league points and individual manager awards. At the end of the three seasons, tally up your points and see where you rank compared to everyone else! Setting up the database is easy. It's completely up to you what leagues you have loaded in and what size database you are using. You MUST start with the original Football Manager mode though. The editor is of course not allowed and you MUST disable the first transfer window. No signings are to be made until January in your first season. Points Add up league points at the end of each season 5 points for champions league and your domestic league 4 for Europa league 3 for Europa conference league 2 for any other cup 1 for European qualification of ANY kind 5 manager of the year 2 for manager of the month -5 for relegation + 5 promotion If sacked, player must start again but can only play seasons adding up to 3. (If sacked season 1, start again but only play 2 further seasons = total 3) And now the moment everyone is waiting for...what club is first? Well... We will be taking charge of Hamburg in the German second division! If you're unsure of the rules have a look at the video and hopefully I have explained it a little clearer! Best of luck to anyone playing along also!

Season 3 Episode 34 We welcome in the beginning of a new era at Halstead Town FC as we embark on a brand-new adventure a league above. We are aiming for a mid-table finish but know that it will be no easy task. A flurry of signings have given Halstead a brand new look but can they get off to a good start? A new era begins! - Episode 34

Halstead Town FC The club was formed in 1879 following a meeting of 16 "interested gentlemen" in the Town Hall. In the early years friendlies were played against local villages before the club became members of the North Essex League in 1894.The first trophy of note was winning the Essex Junior Cup in 1902, beating Chingford 2-0 in the final at Chelmsford. The club celebrated its 140th anniversary in 2019. Halstead Town have had a prolonged period in Division 1 but this season (22/23) we see our return to Step 5 after 15 years, albeit in the Essex Senior league which we haven’t graced for 24 years. The return coming via the play-off’s at the end of the 2021/22 season in which we overcame great odds to secure a 2-1 victory at Buckhurst Hill The story so far... 2023/24 A new era for Halstead Town as FunnySeaSider joined the club as their full time manager. He very quickly put his philosophy into action, making the most of the talented wide players at his disposal. A season of ups an downs saw Halstead exceed all expectations and battle their way into a playoff place at the end of the season. They fought bravely against teams from across the county leagues but fell at the final hurdle, losing 0-3 to Histon in the playoff final. Halstead fans did however enjoy a phenomenal FAVase run in which Halstead went all the way to the final and came out victorious. The first of many trophies as Halstead boss we hope! 2024/25 The belief remained and with many new players coming in, Halstead hit the ground running in Season 2. A wobble in late September and October may have knocked most team's confidence but the Humbugs kept their heads up. By late October they were back to winning ways and went on a fantastic run which eventually sealed their title win and automatic promotion to the Isthmian League North Division! 2025/26 Halstead head into the ILND with hopes of staying away from a relegation battle and perhaps even getting a mid table finish. But first, a squad rebuild is necessary! Up the Humbugs episode 33 - Season review Full playlist - all 33 episodes so far!
