1. Welcome to England!

 

  



Amongst the rolling green hills of Merrie Olde England, in a forgotten corner of an old industrial town or city, from the mass expanses of Hackney Marshes, to the village playing fields the national sport that was invented on these shores 150 years ago is still played purely for love of the game. There is no money, there are no Bentleys, no Gucci kit bags, no fame or glory, but just pure passion for football. This is the grassroots, the backbone of English football, in all weathers come rain or shine, wind, hail, sleet, snow or fog, the muck and nettles, the freezing cold changing rooms, the muddy goalmouths, the roast dinner and pints in the pub afterwards, the one man and his dog... Welcome to England! This is the Ultimate English Pyramid Game!!!

    Hello Mate. I'm from Brazil and curious to know about your journey into the lower divisions of Football Manager. Do you have Instagram or Youtube Channel to show us your adventure as a Football Manager?

      Hi Fabio. Firstly thankyou for taking the time to read my Morley Town story from the great footballing nation of Brazil! I do not have a Youtube or Instagram page showing my progress with Morley Town yet. I just have this blog and a version of it on The Sports Interactive Forums. I prefer the written word to the recorded one. Anyway hope you are enjoying the story so far. Morley Town is my local team who play at Level
      12 in the English pyramid system. If there is anything you wish to know about the story in particular don't hesitate to ask. Thankyou. Jonathan

  Game Moves to FM24 I have successfully transferred The Ultimate English Pyramid Game from FM23 to FM24, which was a surprisingly seamless process given the amount of editor files there are on this game. Therefore all play and screenshots will now be from FM24.. Judging by today's news it will be played on the latest version of FM for some time yet! Match 20: Morley Town v Wortley Hide your daughters, Wortley are in town and they want revenge for the hammering we gave them earlier in the season. We are five points clear at the top, while the visitors from up t’ring road are in a middling 9 th . We are unchanged from the thriller against Leeds University. Team: McLachlan, Busfield, Clappison, Dempsey, M.Smith, Wright, A. Smith, Grantham, Rowe, Ellis, Preston Match Action It is the visitors who make the early running in this one and a snap shot brings out the best of McLachlan as he turns the ball round the post for a corner. At the other end, Ben Clappison hits the side net...

        Disclaimer: This is a purely ficticious story based around a game of Football Manager 2023 and is not about the real Morley Town FC. This story is not based on real events, just my own imagination through a laptop screen. Enjoy!  Morley, West Yorkshire July 2022   “Oh yea! Oh yea! Oh yea!” shouted the town crier, ringing his bell loudly as he stood outside Morley Town Hall, the ornate late Victorian structure which dominates this West Yorkshire town. As ever on these occasions the man in the red robes had drawn a crowd, who had briefly halted their daily business in Queens Street to come and see what the fuss was about. This included pensioners who loved this kind of thing, to curious children and a small group of teenagers hanging out in Windsor Court, the adjacent shopping precinct, who were taking the mickey a little and giggling as the crier carried out his duties. “Oh yea! Oh Yea! Morley Town football club have appointed Jonathan Rudd as t...
