It’s not all Football
Welcome to my web-site! My name, is Mike Parnaby, and this site is dedicated to my all consuming hobby, of Play By Mail games (PBM’s). Most of the games I play involve me acting as manager of a football team. It is my job to get the best out of the team and to plan for the future, by bringing in new blood.
In the following pages, I will attempt to detail my various teams and give some idea of how I am doing, with regular updates of their progress. In each section, I will also give details of how to get involved with any of the games covered. Due to the very high number of games I play, these reports will be brief as I simply don't have the time to write up detailed match reports anymore!
Many of those who stumble across this site might think that I am a sad character, who plays fantasy games by the bucket load. You would of course, be right! However, it keeps me happy and costs a lot less than a few nights down the pub! In many of these games, we do have regular ‘meets’ between the managers, and the managers tend to be adults.
Each game has a different set of rules, with some being more complex than others. It is one aspect that I find most enjoyable. Each game presents a different type of challenge and every team I manage has it’s own unique set of problems.
