I just bought my own Football Club. Well actually I just paid my £35 to sign up for a share of the investment fund with Svendsen Sports.

50,000 members have registered and now the funds are being raised through the £35 subscription. I have no idea if this is the biggest waste of my hard earned £35 and the Web project seems to bring up more problems every time I think about it.

Playing Football Manager for Real

I loved playing Football Manager when I was a kid and have always enjoyed the fantasy football competitions in the newspapers, even when I was in them. All the Professional players would wait with anticipation as the newspapers rolled out their listings of players for the upcoming season. Seeing your name in the paper with a valuation of £3,000,000 is very exciting.

Football Clubs constantly battle to stay in close contact with their fans. Pooling a group of people together on the internet with the only common interest being to buy a football club is hardly a well worked business plan. There is no loyalty to the particular team, no history with the club and it will be difficult to make this a success.

Auto Racing Sports

At the drop of the green McRae got the jump on the field and lead into turn 1. The opening few laps in GS were uneventful with the leaders holding position and McRae slowly extending a lead over the field, but back in the ST class an odd number of GS cars had put pole sitter Lenzi on the outside for the start and Chan gained the ST class lead in turn 1. The ST class lead became a four way battle between Chan, Lenzi, Vidal, and Ryan Worley. Vidal would make a few attempts on Lenzi’s position during the opening couple laps including attempting an outside pass at Canada Corner after Lenzi had gone into the grass off the Carousel then defended the inside after the kink. But a mistake on the brakes put Vidal into the sand and he lost 3rd to Worley.
