 History In 1855, members of a local cricket club began to play football for fun during the winter months as the weather was bad for cricket. In 1857, football because just as popular as cricket at the club. William Prest and Nathaniel Creswick were cricket enthusiasts but because cricket was a summer sport and they had no sport to play in winter, mainly to keep there fitness up and there competitive mentality for the summer. Association football, they decided over a lengthy, late-night chat, was the answer. So plans were drawn up to form a football club and on 24 October 1857, Sheffield FC was born - its headquarters located in a potting shed and green house. Creswick was appointed captain and secretary and he and Prest went about establishing a set of rules that would allow for the activity's progression. Over the next 10 years Sheffield FC under the "Sheffield Rules" played many games against themselves, forming teams out from marital status, age and Job but in 1860, Hallam FC was formed and the first "recorded" football match was played. The match was played on the 26th December 1860 and despite playing with inferior numbers Sheffield F.C. beat Hallam 2–0 in a match said to have lasted 3 hours. Recent History Sheffield FC has slowly fell down the footballing ladder after the FA made it so that only professional clubs could be in the top flight (then Division 1) so they found themselves in UniBond League Division One South. Today...not real In 2004, a local man with a small fortune took over the club and has secured the clubs future financially, and has put the club in the hands of his son, Joshua Darling who is now manager. Sheffield FC fan were dubious of this decision, claiming that Joshua Darling's lack of experience in Football Management would ruin the clubs chances of moving forward, but he showed them wrong be gaining two promotions and converting them from an amateur, mid-table UniBond League One side into a Blue Square North, Semi Professional Side. So now I must do the impossible, I must take the oldest club in the world to the big league again. No matter how hard it takes. I have kept everything the same, All I have done is put them in the Blue Square North and added Sheff Wed and Sheff United as parent clubs. Follow my stunning Career managing the oldest club in the world. Captain of the club in Leon Wainman who is a teacher at my school.  Plz comment |

haha very interesting idea looking forward to an update | | | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to Arsenalfan For This Useful Post: | | | 29-06-08, 06:25 PM | #3 (permalink) | | Indispensable To FMF Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Sheffield Posts: 1,302 Thanks: 360 Thanked 262 Times in 256 Posts Nominated 2 Times in 1 Post TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 |
The Squad well where do I start, the whole squad is decent blue square north quality exept for some of the older players who are good quality. I have 1 Goalkeeper, 1 Striker and no left back. The squad is small and lacking quality so I will need to make some huge improvments. Information As you can see, Sheffield FC are the oldest club in the world and it is there 150 year anniversary. They have little money and there only rival is Hallam FC, the second oldest football club. We are expected to finish stone dead last with good reason, but i'm going to prove them wrong.

Pre-Season Results  As you can see we have had a great pre-season and my tactics seem to be working. If they are then i'll post them here and in the tactics section. we are scoring goals and have kept the big teams like sheff wed and sheff united back and limeted them to half chances, problem is they are good enough to take advantage lol. Can't wait for the first match. Transfers  Future Signing http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...20FC/Rocky.jpg My Favourite Signing  But it wasn't all great, one of my star Midfielder's is out injured for 5-8 months with a... erm...

Doing great mate. I'm sure you'll be able to get them promoted on the first go. Just like Laws did on my Newcastle game.  |

Before I start sorry for not updating for a while but heres a big one.
Results:  Great few months, got to the 1st round of the FA Cup and nearly beat Rochdale, didn't deserve to lose it but there quality in front of goal showed through. Was worried when we drew to whitstable in the 3rd qualifying round of the FA Trophy, every time we went in front, they came back and in the replay, they went 1-0 up but we came back and scored in the 88th minute to make it 3-2.  3 more months of great football which does well for our unexpected title challenge, the loss in the cup was a downside along with the last two games where we played poor but overall a great few months.  Was worried ate the start of march, after 3 games we only had 3 points and had slipped to 3rd behind Southport and Barrow. But 7 wins in a row left us top of the league by 3 points. Blue Square North Final League Table:  BTW Southport won the play-off's, so its Southport and Sheffield going up and it isn't looking good, all the players who did well on loan at us last year are being sold to other clubs and so are all the players I want to buy. Managed to buy some young talent, 14-18 year old regen irish players, there not quite ready for 1st team football but some have league 1 potential. It looks like i'm on the verge of a huge perminent signing, and I've already made on, a player you all won't know, Onandi Lowe lol. Plz comment
