Hello. It’s been a while. A long long while actually. I’m super excited to be back blogging again. Apologies in advance for any rustiness. As is tradition with the Blog Squad we did our annual secret Santa and Zak got me the absolutely stunning Parma shirt from 97/98. The challenge he has set me is to drop Parma into the Premier League and dethrone Manchester United in the first season. To make it more interesting i’m not going to sign anyone. Original Parma team only.

Barnsley have been relocated to Serie A to make room for Parma.

This is how we will start life in Parma.

Hello and welcome back to Doncaster. Last season was a real surprise as, not only did we survive our first season in the Premier League, we only just missed out on a top half finish. Whilst the goals didn’t flow as well as I’d have liked it was our leaky defence that proved our undoing. Can we make a push for the top half or was it a one off? Let’s get stuck in

Hello and welcome back to Doncaster for season 7. Last season was absolutely unreal. We had a horrible start to the season. We tweaked our formation and brought in a couple of new players and managed to sneak into the playoffs. We lost our top striker but his replacement, 16 year old Dion Rust, took us past Norwich at Wembley and in to the Premier League! Our squad is no where near strong enough but can we survive our first season with the big boys? Let’s find out.

Hello All and welcome back to Doncaster for Season 6. After a rapid rise through Division 3 and Division 2 (as Champions no less!) we have found life in Division 1 very tough. 2 seasons of relegation battles so far. Can we turn it around this season? I’d snap your hand off for a top half finish at this point!

August/September

Hello and welcome back to Doncaster. We are entering season 5 after 4 impressive seasons so far. We spent 2 seasons in Division 3, Won Division 2 at the first time of asking and managed a top half finish in Division 1. We really struggled in Division 1 last season so first stop is new recruits.

Hello and welcome back to Doncaster for Season 4 of this blog. Season 1 we slipped out of automatic promotion into the Playoffs in Division 3 and promptly lost to Hull. Season 2 we managed to cling on to the automatic spots to rise to Division 2. Season 3 was our best yet as we won the Division 2 title at the first time of asking. All of this despite our team being repeatedly torn apart by the dreaded big club release clause. We have a £26 million war chest and no one wants to sign for us.

Hello and welcome back to Doncaster. In the last episode we managed to sneak an automatic promotion spot to Division 2 with a game to spare. Once again the big club release clause looked to be our undoing but luckily the clubs trying to raid us couldn’t stump up the cash. This season we get a crack at Division 2. Let’s dive in.
