Well, my long term game pre update got corrupt because i accidently turned the PC off while saving the game and i had deleted the rolling backups that day 'tidying up' the folder. I was gutted. Eleven seasons down the pan.

Started again. Went on holiday for one season, made sure Gateshead got promoted into Conf North. All there is, is a chairman. no money, no players, no staff etc.

Won league first season! took me three seasons last time.
Signed a great young defender and two great strikers (for this level).

Onward we march to Blue Sq. Premier and the prospect of getting into the Football League! I will try not to leave for the bright lights this time!
