A Brief HTTD Hattrick History: An Obituary
Received a team (team id 228475) and started playing on April 29th, 2007 (week 5 of season 32). Reached the final 128 of the US Open Cup twice (seasons 42 and 45). Promoted to III.11 at the end of season 45, and the team was abandoned shortly thereafter in favor of starting a team from scratch.
Started again from scratch (team id 70688) and started playing on May 31, 2011 (week 11 of season 45). Reached the final 32 of the US Open Cup three times (seasons 55, 59, and 61). Promoted to II.2 at the end of season 61. Raised Bruce Rodriguez (player id 390662691) from the Youth Academy to the USA U-20 team, where he garnered 10 caps.
Hattrick allowed second teams starting May 6th, 2013 (start of season 52), so I started Glenelg Gladiators (team id 1675424) in Canada. Reached the final 64 of the Canadian Cup twice (seasons 60 and 61). Promoted to III.9 at the end of season 60 and stayed up in season 61.
I have amassed 1,504 posts in this thread over 5 years. Time to hang that up, as well.
A parting thank you to WFU03 who introduced me to Hattrick, and to all the posters who have played along the way. Sayonara.
