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.

Note that most of the games do have manager slots available so that
you can start straight away with your new club. If you need to know if games
have vacancies, check on the games individual page. Contact the GM to get
involved! Or if you prefer, contact me and I will help as much as I can to find
the right game for you! The games are very different from each other and I can
suggest the best game available to suit your needs!
