Greetings from Canada and welcome to my FM 2011 story featuring Wrexham FC of the Blue Square Premier League where hopefully I’ll discover a new Ryan Giggs or Gareth Bale along the way.
Before I go on I’d like to thank all of you for your support over the last couple of months as I dealt with a family illness back in the UK. The situation is still continuing but there have been some positive signs recently.
Back to the game then. I decided on Wrexham as it seemed a little different and due to my skill level I didn’t really want to go to the absolute bottom to begin with. Here’s a look at the Team Selection screen
For this post I’ll begin with the preliminaries and first off is the database which obviously includes all English Leagues down to the BSP as well as Ireland as a view only
Here’s a brief look at Wrexhams history and although they have a good pedigree my objective will be to get them to the Premier League and to win at least one of the major trophies in due course
Wrexham play their home game at the Racecourse Ground with a capacity of 15,550 people so it will be interesting to see the attendance once the season starts. Thye have good training facilities and an adequate youth set up.
Brian Carey my Assistant Manager provided this team report which on first appearance seems to show a decent amount of players but I’m keen to explore this report further as well as my A.M’s attributes!
The Board of Directors were quite happy with a respectable league position but I wanted to prove I was ambitious and bravely told them that we would aim for promotion this season
Well that’s it for this post which was essentially just to lay the foundations for the story and to lay claim to a team as there’s a lot of activity already around the FM scene.
