Hey Guys it's me TheFMProject I have another series with Schalke in the Bundersliga don't worry this will continue, but I thought to myself I need a second series in-case that series becomes stale or I just get bored of it. So I came up with the idea of managing my hometown club Barrow AFC and taking them to the premier league. Here's a background of Barrow.

Barrow AFC were founded in the year 1901 and currently play at the Furness Building Sociaty stadium. Barrow have only been as high as League 1 and remained there for just 2 seasons back in 1967-68 and 68-69. Barrow were then voted out of the football league in 1971 and were replaced by then Southern Premier League side Hereford United. In 1990, after remaining in the leagues below the conference premier, Barrow won the FA Trophy beating Leek Town 3-1 at Wembley Stadium.
The Clubs colours were to remain Blue and White leading to there nickname "The Bluebirds". Barrow returned to conference again in 2008 beating Stalybridge Celtic 2-0 in the final of the play-offs at the Parelli stadium in Burton.
Barrow returned to the conference and stayed up for 5 years after being relegated in 2012-13 season. During this time in 2010 Barrow beat Stevenage 2-1 in FA Trophy final with goals from hometown boy Jason Walker and Lee McEvily.
