Challenge: Blue Square South/North to Champions League Winners

DSB

What to do:
1) Go to www.random.org , go to the numbers section which will generate you a random number between 1 and 44, (1-22 representing the 22 teams in Blue Square North in alphabetical order, 23-44 representing the 22 teams in Blue Square South in alphabetical order). The number you get is the team you take to the Champions League and onwards.
2) Each season MUST be an improvement on the last. Even its from 17th to 16th there must be an improvement on the last. Relegation is allowed once after a promotion as long as you come straight back up, and then must stay there permanently.
3) No extra nations can be loaded up.

I started this last week and got Fisher Athletic. Will post more details on how mine is going if people are into the idea.

I'm into the idea, but the challenge would be more fair if we all played as the same team. Then nobody could complain on who the got. Just a idea.

To be honest, I'd have thought that'd make a difference in like the Premiership as far down as League 2. But in the Blue Square regionals and even the Premier, the standard of your club is gonna be that bad that you'll have to undergo a complete overhaul of the way the club operates if you're gonna make the Premiership. I don't mind starting again with everyone else if lots of people feel the same way though. I just like the idea of everyone randomly getting a different club and having completely different experiences as a result.

Don't think I can count myself in for this one. Don't think I have the time to dedicate to getting a team lifted from Blue Square up to Premier League.

Have fun though

There's a very similar challenge to this on the SI forums (dafuge challenge) where you holiday the first season and then pick one of the clubs newly promoted to the BSS/BSN. That way you get a realllly low rep team.
It really makes for an interesting game. And yes, teams at that level really are tripe.

The starting again if you have a bad season would put me off though as sometimes you just have to rebuild the team leading to a poor season during the transition.
