Accrington Stanley... Exactly! (LLM MM Save)

Accrington Stanley F.C

Accrington Stanley Football Club is an English football club from Accrington in Lancashire, in the north-west of England.

The club was formed in 1968, with the town regaining a club with league status after 44 years when they were promoted as champions of the Football Conference on 15 April 2006

Accrington had been without a football team following the collapse of the original Accrington Stanley in 1966. The original team had been formed in 1891, and played in The Football League from 1921 to 1961; it had spent its final four seasons in the Lancashire Combination. In a meeting in the town library in October 1968 the revival was started and in August 1970 the new club played at a new ground, the Crown Ground.

Since their formation, Stanley have climbed the non-League pyramid to reach The Football League. Eric Whalley, a local businessman, took control of the club in 1995 and started the development of the club's ground. After the club was relegated in 1999, Whalley appointed John Coleman as manager.

In 2005-06, Stanley won the Football Conference and were promoted to League Two, switching places with relegated Oxford United - ironically, the team that was elected to replace the former Accrington Stanley as members of the Football League in 1962.

TV Advert

The club was name-checked in a celebrated British advert for milk, from the 1980s, which is credited with briefly making the club a household name. The scene was two boys with strong Scouse accents in Liverpool football shirts in a kitchen, looking for something to drink after a game of football. The dialogue ran as follows:

Boy 1 enters shot, puts ball on top of fridge, and opens it

Boy 2: "Got any lemonade?"
Boy 1: "If you want!" (he takes a bottle of (presumably) lemonade from the fridge and hands it to Boy 2 and a bottle of milk which he pours some for himself in a glass)
Boy 2: "Milk.....Ugh!"
Boy 1: "It's what Ian Rush drinks."
Boy 2: "Ian Rush?"
Boy 1: "Yeah, an' he says if I didn't drink lots of milk, when I grow up I'll only be good enough to play for Accrington Stanley!"
Boy 2: "Accrington Stanley? ... Who are they??!"
Boy 1: "Exactly!"
Boy 2 tries to get to Boy 1's milk.

Boy 1: "Nah, gerroff!"
Boy 2: "Gimmie some!"
Boy 1: "Gerroff!"

IRL I can't

I will not sign players who would not sign IRL in what position the club is in Fifa so will look through when I get Fifa 10 not long now...

I think here is a good point to have a short outline of rules I have place on myself with ideas from others and the LLM fifa group.

I can move clubs but will only leave to join clubs which are realistic based on how well I done at my current club and how well the club which want me is doing.

Transfer in and out will be realistic money based on Fifa money

realistic transfers in terms of club rep

I will be playing on WC and the budget above is based on a WC board which I will use. Legendary will be used if still to easy and switch to manual if still to easy.

Staff/facility upgrades will be limited if they can be done quick and easy.


More will be added when I get Fifa 10.
