Holy crap, how did I only just find this? As a RL Wrexham Season Ticket holder, this whole LP makes me very, very erect.

Also we should make Tackleford our feeder club, just to rub it in.

I was wondering if I had picked any crap bars. What should I replace it with?

Plenty of home supporters end up starting at the Wrexham Lager Social Club... cheap, local beer helps. Can't beat a quick pint at the Railway. Also, can't forget the Old Vaults if you like mingling with the local wanna be hardasses. TRAVELLER'S TIP: If your team happens to be playing Away against Wrexham, DO NOT go to the Old Vaults. If you are from Chester, DO NOT go to the Old Vaults. For the love of God, do not go there if you're from Chester, and it's a Derby day. Seriously. You will get glassed. It is the type of place that'd worship Brown like a prince, however.

I imagine in this universe, you can replace "Chester" with "Tackleford."

Just promise me you'll beat Man United. That's all I ask. (Personal reasons, from when I was a schoolboy in the 90s)

Fun Fact About Wales: There are NO decent roads connecting North-South Wales, a combination of difficult terrain in mid Wales and Governments not giving a gently caress. To get from Wrexham to Cardiff you have three options.

1) Drive through Mid Wales. This involves traversing narrow roads that go on cliff edges, wind through forests and go up mountains, and following confusing road signs that haven't been updated in decades. If you break down in the Brecon Beacons (Like what happened to me once), you're kind of hosed, as no one gets phone signal there and signs of civilisation are sparsely scattered.

2) Drive west then go along the coast, all the way across North Wales, then follow the coast all the way down via West Wales to the south, the head all the way east. Takes loving ages, but you get good roads all the way and you get to pass some beautiful scenery at least.

3) Swallow your pride and go via England. Enjoy their fancy motorways and civilisation and regular petrol stations, and universal phone signal and Wi Fi. Realise the trip takes no time at all...until you go back into Wales for the home stretch, and the traffic inevitably bogs down to a crawl again. Generally a much faster and more enjoyable trip, but no real Welshman would ever do this.

Also I vote Cwpan Llywelyn.

I'll admit, when AJ_Impy brought forward the idea to destroy a megabastard I was interested just to see if it can be done. I don't share his passionate hatred of Arsenal so I of course wanted to hit the biggest guy in the place, and that's Manchester United (plus it'd bit a slap of real-life karma... with a significant amount extra). But the point of 'it's not fun if we're not beating Man U' has a point, so Arsenal is good, just megabastard enough to see if it works but not megabastard enough to seriously upset the apple cart.

Ages ago, in the Ray Parlour there was a club named AFC Parmo where goons would take control of a club for roughly 6 months (start of preseason to January 1st, January 1st to end-of-season). The first year they succeeded spectacularly, with a story practically made for movies where one of the first players who scored a goal in the Conference South scored a goal in the Champions League final.

Now, the reason I'm giving the money to Tackleford is that in the next version of Football Manager they created a team called MK Parmigiana, who was the megabastard of megabastards and represented that Americans had come over, taken the team over, moved it, changed its color, history, etc., and tossed off the debris of AFC Parmo to the dregs where they took it back over in Conference North, and brought it back to the top yet again. That was a lot of fun to read, that there was always a rival who was there and worthy and you could shout at.

So let's get our favorite punching bag up to par and beat the living snot out of them every few years!

Yeah, I agree with this. We need to revive our rivalry...and that means making Tackleford into a megabastard of epic proportions. We need to make Tackleford into the Ivan Drago of English football.

The thing about stadium size is Wrexham is a small town of only roughly 42,000 people. Some of the larger stadiums in the league have a higher capacity than Wrexham's entire population. Even if you consider the surrounding villages and towns, there's only so much fans you can have.

Yeah, there are a *lot* of different bookies catering to the whole of the UK, so there's a lot of competitions and crazy offers. Expect things like "money back if certain player scores" or "double your winnings if certain player gets sent off". I've seen people put genuine bets on the number of offsides in a game.

Trying to go all "Invincibles" in football is less likely the more competitions you're in. I can see it possible in FM if you're just in the PL and cups, but adding Champions League as well? Jesus

Also also, Obliterati, you have a boon to be granted from last season's World Cup prediction contest. Let me know what you want.

Wrexham lager was amazing back in the day. Cheap as water, crisp and smooth! The brewery shut down...about twenty odd years ago I think?

They revived in a couple of years ago, and just like every nostalgic throwback it's ruined. Tastes generic, not even brewed in Wrexham anymore, and often charged the same price as "premium" beers. My childhood, ruined!

Anyway. Scott, Dreamsicle, got a proposition for you. Phase One of Operation: Woolwichdämmerung is complete with my purchase of Reading, who conveniently are located in the Premier League. You're on the lookout for a feeder club you can loan out some stars to, so they can take some points off your rivals but not you.

Let's help each other out, here.

Let me sweeten the deal:

1: £175M
2: C
