Marine in League One is impressive.

I mentioned Arsenal because they are part of the traditional big 6 (and West Ham isn't).

I'm looking forward to all the island-related affiliates in the future. That type of record is actually rather normal against the big clubs (Arsenal feels left out though), which is why winning the Conference League is the best path to Europe for this year for the extra games.

If you need extra motivation to beat Stalybridge, look at their position in the table.

Conference League should be relatively easy for the English representative, most teams wouldn't even make it in the Premier League (or even the Championship, for that matter).

Wasn't aware you had to play two qualifying rounds to make the group phase, thought it was supposed to be just one. (At least you got more games for the backups to play.)

I would think the English representative in the Conference League would be among the top four teams in terms of quality almost by default, so I'm guessing the game is expecting some quality teams to drop down from the Europa League.

Can't wait for the board's high expectations for the Conference League. I'm guessing they'll expect the semifinal at a minimum.

I think an away draw against Bolton would have technically been better, but at least you got money (especially some TV money, which is always nice). Also you didn't lose against Stalybridge Celtic, which is important against the unofficial rivals. Your real goal is probably top five to guarantee at least one home playoff game.

If you keep having stability issues, you might have to start doing saves/autosaves after matches to not lose as much progress.

What are your autosave settings?

TV money and a likely sellout, what's not to like? (Stalybridge Celtic, that's what.)

I think stadium expansions are hardcoded to start at the beginning of the next offseason, so I knew the board couldn't stop the return home.

While we're at it, is Stalybridge Celtic still owned by a tycoon?
