i wouldnt mind the 2 rounds of bots as it means i get into 3rd round of cup
but get a better gate in a friendly

down to 95now this is depressing.

Number of users: 89

im surprised we actually have enough players to fill an NT now.

there has to be a way in which we can simplify this game for newbs mate

i know some find it daunting , with so much to do and not very many clear instructions on how to do it , i got a mate of mines into the game ( chumps utd ) and ive managed to keep his interest up in it by giving him tips and basically making it as easy as possible for him to learn

how about we all chip in and try to develop a simple new player start up guide ? we could basically post in a topic with tips ideas etc and then with all the info we recieve attempt to put it into a mail we can send new players , maybe this will keep interest up and help keep managers in the game ? That way they have a clear and easy start up guide , rather than log in and see all these options and not have a clue on where to start

i volunteer myself as a guide to new players as im on this virtually every day , and im only too happy to help answer simple questions about the game , anything im unsure of i know i can ask guys like ally , dandy , rtg and so on

think this could be a good idea ???

Stevie,
I have to say that ALL online games are struggling with dwindling users, especially in Scotland... forums are silenced for no reason.. it is clearly a trend of such.......

Making it easier will maximise your potential retainment of newbs...so it is a worthwhile exercise......

But as for the trend I have no ideas of what will stop it... it could be something that is circular...and numbers may grow in a few months...

good point kow mate

after all the hard work from rtg and others to get numbers in , almost all of them didnt bother playing , and from experience it seems to be they found the game too daunting . its a shame tho as sokker is miles better than the oHTer game , but it needs some patience to get to grips with tactics , coaches etc

fingers crossed we can get the numbers up in the coming months

hmmm were up from 92 to 132 - who is recruiting?

Some interesting teams/users in there :)

Sokker Scotland seriously needs sorting out.

Try saying that after a few beers!

It's been the same in England. We were dropping below 400 at one point, now it's nearer 600. Some say it is the facebook thing, although I can't say I'm overly convinced?

we can see which teams register by FB and its at least 25%

wow

Some say Jock Manson's popularity has rekindled interest in Sokker Scotland.

Note the armband... that's what the Scottish people want.
