Thanks for the support. Sadly FM didn't listen lol.

Seems that the near relegation of over a year ago played on their minds too much. That's what I think needs improving and adding in FM.

Fan support - the fans openly speak out about a player or manager they want to stay at the club.

Favourite personnel - I think after my heroics at Bedford, I should be in their favourite personnel. Any manager that spends a long time at the club or does amazing things will become a board and fans favourite, and the game should reflect that.


So it looks my Bedford career is over. I'm being tempted by a new game with a lot of foreign leagues (I need to break out of England). Waiting for FM09 might be too long so you might see a new game from me soon.

Damn. This was really interesting.

Shame that this game is over and therefore the thread is over.

I look forward to reading your next thread. Maybe you should go to Ejido in Spain and make them a dominate force.

Before you die, you see the Tails Doll!

Hard luck, but what a career eh!
MK Dons to Cowdenbeath to Celtic to Bedford in around 20 years.
Thats just amazing!
I was really enjoying this thread too but all good things must come to an end.

DAM!
I really enjoyed reading this :(
I agree with you Birdy Fc about these:
" Fan support - the fans openly speak out about a player or manager they want to stay at the club.

Favourite personnel - I think after my heroics at Bedford, I should be in their favourite personnel. Any manager that spends a long time at the club or does amazing things will become a board and fans favourite, and the game should reflect that."

Well done though mate for what you did with Bedford!

Thanks for the support, and I'm definitely not going to stop taking small teams to where they shouldn't be.

Look out for the next thread in the Writers Section. I fancy a bit of a story lol.

Your not on the Favorite Personel at Bedford, HOW DOES THAT WORK. I won the BSN with Sheffield and became a favorite personel of the club, how can you after getting them promoted from the BSN to the championship in 6 seasons not be. FM is the most messed up game in the world, but thats why we love it :). Sos Birdy was really enjoying this.


This is for you James, hope you like it

ive only just read this thread today, what a journey with bedford, and absolutely shocking they didn't give you a new contract.
I'm seriously poor with Newport County in my game at them moment, I can't seem to find any decent players on frees to sign, any tips?

Matchday Programme : £5
Petrol to get to Molineux : £10
Ticket at Molineux : £450
Watching a fat Baggies fan fall over : Priceless

Dave - It's coming lol

Glenn - Thanks Have a look on Dec 30 for people not in England, and on May 30 for players based in England. Thats when you can first get the freebies, and the early bird catches the worm lol

Lol thanks Harty. Can't believe you missed it.

I think FM09 will end up being my next proper huge game. It'll be bigger and better for sure.

Nothing decided as yet, but going to load a lot more European leagues. Hungary or Croatia seems a random place to start before going to the big countries.
