<br />
To celebrate the release of <b>Football Manager 2019</b> this Friday I have a copy to give away to one lucky winner. I&#039;m sure most Football fans know of Football Manager but if not its the number 1 football management game on the market with a player database so extensive that it&#039;s even used as part of a...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[We will be moving servers sometime during the week. This may result in upto 24 hour downtime while it’s completed (for most it will be much less but as there are DNS changes it’s reliant on how quickly your local DNS updates). We will let you know in advance what exact day this will be happening.<br />

As some of you will have noticed during busy times the site throws up Resource limit errors and despite continued tweaking we haven’t been able to prevent these completly. With City not having a...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[As some of you have most likely noticed at busy times we get intermittent 508 Errors. This means that certain server resources are being reached and despite some configuration tweaks it doesn&#039;t seem to be going away and as we get more members its only going to get worse so that server move we have been talking about is going to need to happen sooner rather than later (I&#039;m thinking as early as during the week seeing as Bradford don&#039;t have a midweek game this week)<br />

Now onto why I need you...<br />
