Pilgrim's Progress

Nice one, glad to have a new story in this thread! Whereas I'm not a big fan of the money machine that is the Premier League, I do like the authenticism of the English Football League (Ch., One and Two)
Any special connections to this team? The Pilgrims have a unique geographical position. They have a fairly large hinterland for themselves in the Southwest of England. That in theory would not make it unlikely if they'd make it to the highest tier in English football. Wouldn't that be a first?

No special connections, no. I happen to like the colours they play in, I like the name (the 'Argyle' bit, which is unique) and, interestingtly, the game has for a number of years featured their matchday chant, which is quite cute when you play as them.
I've 'done' them a few times over the years, usually starting in League 1, where they normally are.
Yes, they've never been in the top division, as indeed no club really has (much) from the South West of the country, which is traditionally Rugby Union territory. I know that Bristol City did appear in the old First Division (now the Premier League) at one point in my life, but only for a short time. Interestingly, the 'South West derby' against them is the opening match of their league season...

Brilliant this, I'd been waiting for you to start something up. Can't say I know much about this club, or the city from where they're from. My only reference would be my childhood memories of playing the "Colonization" game, where you'd sail off from Plymouth and find yourself somewhere in America to settle. And send ships back to Plymouth with cotton and whatever goods you were able to produce... I suppose I've always had this very old game in my mind, whenever I've come across the Argyles, in FIFA or whatever. Well, time to make a new point of reference 😉
Classic move by the manager, by the way, moving to a club like Hull in stead. But if I was a betting man, I would probably put my money on you reaching the Premier League before the Tigers do.
