REF
NEWCASTLE BROWN
This was
the first game I got involved in and as such, is one of my favourite games. My
first team, Houston WHAP, started life in division two, but were relegated to
division three, four seasons ago. I managed to survive for the last three
seasons. Then, out of the blue, I was offered the chance to take over Newcastle
United All stars, so here we are!
This game's
turns are unfailingly every fourth week and REF in invariably with you no later
than the fifth day after the deadline for orders.
The price
is quite low too, costing about 10 pounds a year. Most of the managers are
adults and some have been playing for many years. Below, I will give details of
my latest turn, so that you can share my success or failure! I will also add
details of transfers that involve the team, and my thoughts on the next turn's
games.
The league
is split into five divisions with 44 teams competing. Divisions 1 and 2 have 8
teams, divisions 3 and 4 have 9 teams and division 5 has 10 teams. There are
also cup competitions to be played.
The game is organised by:

Teams
become available all the time. Contact Andy if you would like further details
or would like putting on the short waiting list. Andy edits the REF zine and
has reports on every game. These are short but often fun-filled and humorous.
Quite often his play on words, using the player's names can be very funny. A
lot of the teams have players named to reflect their team's name. For example,
Houston WHAP were all named after American astronauts, New boys are all
prefixed by the word New and Phobia 4U are all phobias, such as Agro (phobia),
Claustro, Hydro, etc. Newcastle United All Stars will be renamed to Newcastle
Brown, and will all have names of real ale!

Season 32
28th October 2009
Steady start!
The new season started
in a steady fashion considering I was a major player short. We started away at
Karlsbad Kickers and we were sunk by a solitary goal. The downside was the Zip
suffered a minor knock. This forced him out of the home game against Reading.
Without Zip we were toothless and the result was never in doubt really!
Karlsbad Kickers 1 - Newcastle Brown 0.
Newcastle Brown 0 – Reading 0.
