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!
