Finally caught up with this thread and I've been extremely entertained. I hope this LP goes on forever or at least until you get a quadruple (Wrexham triple plus a Brown led team wining the World Cup)

So 2 Questions about this LP and one about the game.

Game Question:
Is the game really as bad as some people say? From what I've seen so far, fan reaction has been mixed and without this LP, I wouldn't have considered getting this.

LP Questions:
1)When will it be necessary to get a new stadium? This probably isn't good enough resarch, but a quick enough glance at Wikipedia states that only 2 stadiums ever used in the Premier League are smaller than the Racecourse Grounds.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Premier_League_stadiums

2) What the hell did Man U do to get 100 points? It just seems way too much even for a club of that stature especially since at the moment I can count the number of clubs to finish over 90 points with one hand.

EDIT: Wrong link

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.

I'm just assuming that at some point a lot of more people outside Wales will attend in the future if Wrexham has several years of high play (Champions League wins/FA Cup Wins etc). I'm not proposing a massive increase, maybe an increase to 20-26 thousand capacity. Of course, the fact we're located in Wales might drive some people away.

Thanks for the responses. I have one more question

Obviously there are plenty of guides for FM but is there a team or at least league that will let me experiment with those guidelines with little risk? Think of Ireland in CK2.

Dreamsicle
Oct 16, 2013

So what are the other factors in getting approval for stadiums besides capacity used? Maybe if you got into the Europa League they would have approved the request.

In any case, all I hope is that this gets written in as a bad dream or something cheesy like that.

So how much is still salvageable via editing? I don't want the LP to end like this.

If you keep going and not go back to the beginning of last season, I'm going to imagine that you got attacked by Tackleford supporters and was put in a coma for several months.

Now that I got FM 2014 and the first then I realize is that I don't know where to begin. I just feel so overwhelmed by everything I'm not sure what the first order of business should be as a new manager. I know to start with the guides but I'm not sure what I should do first.

Basically what I want is a flowchart of what to do before, during and after a season. I'll study how to do those things in the guide.

I thought he'd be sated if Wrexham at least makes it to the Europa League. Now I know you know more than we do about Wrexham's standing in the table, but right now I'm highly confident we can get there and hopefully extend his contract.

Out of curiosity what was Wrexham's record in the 2013-14 season? I know you're predecessor was sacked, but I want to know just how badly he did the season before.

Also is Man U's manager still AU Moyes?

drat the top 4 spots are super crowded. The fact that we're only 5 points out of first keeps feeding my delusions that Wrexham could win the league.

Out of curiosity, how do you get out of the Champions League once you're in it for EPL teams? I'm hoping there's more to it than just finishing below 4th in the EPL.

For example, Man City goes to the knockout round of the CL but finish 5th in the EPL. Are they still in?

They run concurrently. You get into the Champions League for next season only by finishing 4+. If you finish below that season, unless you win the Champions League (also called 'Chelsea loving Tottenham'), you do not get back in the next year.

You get knocked out of the Group Stages by finishing either 3 or 4. If you finished 3 you go to the knockout stages of the Europa League. If you finish 4 your European tour is over.

Ah, I just wanted to make sure about where you needed to finish in the CL before you get to stay in spite of finishing below 4th.

It's fun rereading this LP and looking back on the fantastic moments during the rise to glory.

This quote is also pretty good.

14': Eustace Boyce writes from Tackleford "Brown got sacked because he was the type of guy like AVB who promises the moon if you give him a Ferrari and then proceeds to drive it like a yugo. Wrexham may field a good team while they have him but they'll never become real contenders."

EDIT: Also what the gently caress happened with Team USA? I wanted to see you lead them to victory in the World Cup drat it. Oh well I know what I'll do if I win the God competition.

Out of curiosity, what are Tackleford's transfer/wages compared with the rest of the Champions League? I'm hoping they're spending is in the top 5 since it means they might not get relegated again and thus we can knock the crap out of them in the future.

EDIT: Also how much has Rouissi improved since this image during the Champion's League season?

Habeaus, if you decide to get FM15, is it possible to import the databases or at least the save into FM15 and continue the LP there? I'm worried that the LP could end when FM15 gets released.

I might be wrong, but aren't TV games selected before the season begins? If so, then that may be why since the reputation may still have been slightly too low to air most of Wrexham's games in spite of the increased reputation as the season wore on.
