Are you still in a shared stadium?
Yeah, we share with Halesowen Town who are in VNN and we pay 1.5K p.a in rent. I guess because we are the ones that need the additional cap we have to pay for it. Our pitch is in poor condition by 2/3 of the way through most seasons.

Wrens Nest Season 2034/35
What an absolutely cracking season we started off by shocking the league by being undefeated through our first 9 and only drawing one of those games. Was there or thereabouts all season had a very congested December with cup matches which in the end cost us the title. Promoted after the Playoffs into League 2 club will turn Professional.
MVP:
Mathew Lee:
Finances are looking ok hopefully the TV revenue will be better next season
Our stadium is being upgraded due to league requirements. The loan should be manageable but we will see.

Im having a little trouble getting better players in but it might be because my squad is already quite good for national league n/s.
Most of the players i have been going for have been snapped up by national league sides and in most cases League 2 & League 1 sides.
Loans help you should be able to get good players on no wage from bigger clubs. I think you can have up to 6 long term loans in N/S

No trophy this season but managed to get promoted via the playoffs. 35 points to the total.
Had a good run in the FA Cup reaching the 2nd round.
Nice. Players start to get interested in joining your club when you are in N/S.
I haven't been able to play as much as normal but cruising along in my second season in VNL about 2/3 through the season. We are currently fighting in the the title fight with 14 games to go.

Wrens Nest Season 2033/34.
We have been promoted via the playoffs.
Could of won the the championship but drew one of the last 4 matches which ment we missed out by 1 point.
Smashed expectations - Avoid relegation.
finances took a hit this year with most players being on part time contracts now and still one of the worst average attendance in the league. Sitting (100K) atm.
Onwards and upwards. Quite worried about next season. I feel like it is going to be a big jump in ability.
Additional Information:
The Club was sold.
We have to expand our stadium due to league requirements.
MVP George Jones
And i won the manager of the season

Wrens Nest National League North 2032/33
Really thought I was in for a tough season but after playing on from my last post we had an amazing run in the FA cup (Lost in the 3rd rd) which really boosted our finances. Came across some decent free transfers and loans that sent us on a couple of really good runs.
We placed 4th in our first season which I'm extremely happy considering we were 101-1 odds to win the league and predicted to come 20th. Lost to Kings Lynn Town in the Semi of the play off. Will really put in the effort over the off season to improve a few aras of our squad and push for a League title (and auto promotion).
MVP: George Jones

Yes but you should be making more money now that you are in the higher leagues.
How are you finding the national league north?
Only about ten games in sitting in 17th atm (wasn't able to play yesterday). Still really hard to find players over 3 stars. I am earning more money from gate income but still losing money at about 10k a month at this point, got a goods draw in the 3rd Qual of the FA cup so should have at least some more prize money coming in soon. Need to figure out how to up our reputation more (we have had "huge" reputation the last few seasons as described by the game) but still finding it hard. TV income is next to nothing so will just have to keep sloging away and try and pick up some higher value player and sell them on, we have made about 10K from players that looked good but just didn't fit this season.
Financial review:
Balance: (186K)
Wage: 266K pa with about 50K left in the budget.
Transfer: 8K

Yes hoping to do better this time around and look after the finances a bit better this time around although it probally wont happen lol
yeah I'm currently over £100K in debt but I feel that there is little you can do other than a run in the FA cup and doing pre season cups with higher reputation clubs to get income.

Season 2031/32:
After last seasons heartbreak Wrens nest do the double. Champions in the Southern Premier Division Central (35 points) and in the Southern League Cup (35 points).
Was an interesting season had a good run throughout although the last 2 weeks of the season was stressful could of wrapped up the trophy with 4 games to go but wasn't able to do it until the final match day.
MVP: Moran (Apps:42(1) Goals:35 Asst:10 Average rating: 7.41)
Now onto the National League North

First country done.
Almost won the Championship first year out of the box, lost it in the final. Had a fantastic run in the OFC CL. Combined with league results did not lose a match this season until the QF of the OFC CL.
Now I'm moving on to Djibouti.

@Waldo the BearSorry to hear that you're stepping away from the challenge. You might be the only other person who was still doing this.
So far, it's not as much fun as i thought it would be, or as much fun as I would have expected winning to be. It was fun at first after the Youth Challenge just because I could sign so many players, and I did, but 2 promotions and feeling that I've basically got nowhere is tough. Just so far to go.
Still, let's see whether my 3rd season is a bit more interesting. I'm probably putting far too much work into finding players, but better safe than sorry.
I will be back. I'm on paternity leave (and in sydney's lockdown) at the moment so plenty of free time between nappy changes. I might do alternate days between this challenge and the global challenge just needed to do something else for abit. I have some decent players coming in from my PL youth tip and i think ive settled on a decent main tactic.

A bit of heartbreak in my latest season after only expecting to "fight bravely against relegation". We snuck into the last playoff spot on the final day. Won the Semi convincingly 3-1 and then lost in the final 0-2. This was our third season in the RPD and we had finished 18th in both other seasons. I think i need to walk away from this save for awhile. I'm going to give the global challenge a go.
A tip that I managed to work out this season for signing higher quality players. Go hunting in the off season in the youth teams of the PL. I was able to sign at least 4 end of contract players from those teams for $0, wage demands varied. It has been a fun 10 seasons just need to change it up for a while, I am planning on coming back to this soon.

Will normally only do one report per season, but by the start of the season I'd bought 26 players. (I'll admit, one or two of my earliest signings have also now been released or have left in a huff when I admitted to them that they had no future with us). The season's started and I'm up to 27 now, and hopefully one more will sign soon.
Listen, I've just done 32 seasons of the Youth Challenge not being able to sign players. But also my squad that I inherited was really terrible.
I have no idea how many trialists I've had. It's in the 100s.
Anyway, the bookies adjusted their odds before the season started and places us at 1-91 to win the league. So they think we have a chance.
I sort of expected / hoped to win all our matches by double figures but that hasn't happened in the first couple. (Though we did win) Maybe once the team has had a chance to gel.
Also managed to install the logo for my side.Finally I found a coding task that matched my level (of a 6 year old). (Turton weren't in any logopacks I could find).
you're doing well it took me 8 seasons to finally get around to installing my teams logo.

Yes or just say what year you are in.
Let me know how you get on in attracting players in the regional premier divisions, i could not get any better players in.
Alot of the time they were saying it is due to my reputation.
the year is a great idea because you can see that in screen shots.
will do, i have had so much fun doing this save.
