Cool! We'll have to start thinking about the club for this year's challenge then  My vote is for either London-based Fisher Athletic or the aptly named Braintree Town - because of cource we all love brains  Both are newly promoted to the Conference South this season so should be tough challenges

Well tbh i dont share you/damo/paul's obsession for brains. So picking braintree primarily for its name doesnt really suit me. I would personally like a team which has a very small squad (because the squad you inherit are always utter *!@%#$!*) which has some transfer funds available (even if it is just a measly 1k!). Now If that team happens to be braintree or fisher then all well and good but I would just like those 2 criteria. It would prob be a cool idea to have the same team as each other but not a neccesity I guess.

Well, I'll fire the game up tonight and check out Fisher Athletic's squad. I assumed that out of the playable sides, the ones coming up from the lower leagues would have the smallest squads and least funds so should be perfect for the challenge

The challenge begins! FYI, Fisher have a squad of 21 players plus 14 on youth contracts. Braintree had 19 + 15 so not really much in it from that angle. Oh, and I started of with a mighty £4.4K to spend
EDIT Whooops! I have £4.4K in the bank but no money to spend. Oh well!
