Interested? Miss the days of simple but fun football management games?
Fancy getting involved in a TWTD project - for single player or multi-player?
With a look and feel like the "good old days". If you grew up in the 1980's, and had a ZX Spectrum, Vic 20, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC or a BBC Micro, even an early IBM PC, you'll know what I mean.
Pick your team, set tactics, buy/sell players, and lead your club to league and cup glory!
Gain promotion and avoid relegation!
Quick and simple to play. And fun (hopefully).
WHAT ISN'T IT?
Loads of stats. Hours of management complexities. PhD required.

If we can gather a few people to join the "TWTD League" - we can test out the multi-player fun! I was thinking to set the match schedule every 2 days? But we can agree otherwise.
UPDATE: TWTD League now full, but please do join the Suffolk League :)
UPDATE: Sufffolk League now full, go for the East Anglian League :)
(If you create your own league, you can manually run games whenever you want or set an automatic schedule).
Looking for people who enjoy the above and fancy being involved in a hopefully a fun project!

I used to enjoy playing a football manager game (can't remember the name of it) on my Acorn Electron in the 80s.
I will give it a look. |  | | |

Yeh, love this - i'm in.
A game every 24hrs sounds a lot but i'm not quite sure how it all works. |  | | |

Count me in, looks excellent. (Note to make my best player captain  ). |  | | |

sounds great, id be keen to get involved. |  | | |

I'd be interested, but would struggle with a game every 24 hours.
Maybe games every other day or 2/3 per week to start with might work better as we'd all need to learn and understand how it works. |  | | |

Acorn Electron - a proper keyboard! I was a rubber-keyed Speccy ;)
Apologies if I don't recognise you as someone already registered. If you want to play with fellow TWTD'ers multi-playing, if you haven't could you sign up, and join the "TWTD League". | | | |

Fair comment - I'll set the TWTD League (and those you can get promoted to) to run every 2 days for now.

I’m lost already... I registered an account, logged in and joined the TWTD league.
The screen is flashing “Choose a club within 23 hours” and the entry below “Club” is flashing “Choose...”
Neither responds to being tapped. How should I proceed? |  |

First feedback and useful! So thank you first of all! Will improve to make clear later today.
Click on the red "?" button to choose a club, from then on it will be a green ">" to carry on. | | | |

Am i able to put bids in for other teams players? or is just through scouting and the transfer list.
Violetfeld have got cash to burn, and a midfield that needs bolstering | | | |

Absolutely cracking idea, sadly i dont have the time to join (I play many other games that are on a tight schedule as well, so I fear if I commit it would just end up flaking out).
Best of luck with the idea/game, love these retro games. I am into my 41st season with ITFC on CM 01/02. |  |

I will sign up and give it a go. If it's anything like FPL though I can't promise I'll remember I have a team! |  | | |

hey - at the moment, only from the transfer list and scouting.
I have buying from other clubs on my "is it a good idea?" list :)
Good luck to Violetfeld! | | | |

haha - thanks!!
I'm going to add a "don't forget next games are running [whenever]" reminder email. For those that don't like getting emails, they can be optionally switched off.

Thank you to everyone! I'm humbled by your interest. The TWTD League is now full up!
This is the fifth of five leagues that have promotion and relegation - above the TWTD League is the Suffolk League - by all means join this one.
(By joining the same leagues, you'll be with fellow TWTD'ers!) [Post edited 30 Jan 12:32]

Just signed up (been busy at work) but looks like the league is already full?
Edit - have joined the Suffolk league instead. [Post edited 30 Jan 12:54]
