Legoland Football (Soccer)

[Minifig Lecturer]

Hi

I have run a Legoland football league each year since October 1993 with 22 lego football clubs battling it out in the nation's top division to be crowned Serie A Champions.

The following is a list of the Serie A winners since the league started with a brief description of the winning clubs.

06-07 Current season

05-06 Legoland FC

04-05 Inter Police

03-04 Inter Police (The Pigs, are a small club who shocked everyone by landing the title not once but twice. Supported almost entirely by cops they are not liked)

02-03 Celebs

01-02 Celebs (The "Slobs" as they are often known are owned by rich famous Lego businessmen. Printing guru Mr Prints is president of the Turin club)

00-01 Legoland FC

99-00 Legoland FC

98-99 Legoland United

97-98 Legoland United (2nd largest club in Legoland after bitter rivals Legoland FC. Liked by alot more than LFC, only club who have never sacked their manager)

96-97 Roma (The Roman club have huge supporter base in the city of Rome in Castleland but the 96-97 championship was the club's only honour)

95-96 Torino (Local rivals of the Legoland Emperor's club Juventus, Torino were the dominant club from the city until their recent bankruptcy and relegation)

94-95 Lion Lakers (The biggest club in Castleland with supporters primarily coming from Castle Lion soldiers. Has underachieved since its 1995 title win)

94-94 Port Villa (The largest seaside club in Legoland with a large support base in the pirate islands)

93-94 Legoland FC (The most famous club in Legoland with the largest supporter base. Also the most hated club by far. Known for its sacking of managers, dirty and cheating players, and rioting fans)

Legoland teams squads are made up of "real" footballers such as Oliver Kahn, Ronaldo, Mark Bresciano, Lionel Messi, Francesco Totti, Raul etc and clubs have to purchase these players and pay them wages and so on. All players have ratings depending on their performance in "real life" and their performances in the Serie A SuperLeague (the Legoland Football League). Because players can help improve a team (if they are good and have good ratings) they become valuable and clubs try to outbid each other to sign them.

Money for the clubs is generated from ticket sales and the selling of television rights and sponsorship deals. Money available depends on the level of economic activity in Legoland City, for example, whether the city is built-up and big or whether most lego is unmade. Currently the nation is being rebuilt so the recent recession has finally ended.

The actual results of the League matches are simulated by a program I made that takes into account the teams results from the last 5 seasons, the team's players and manager's abilities and the teams and individual players' current form.

Like most football leagues, there is 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 for a defeat. You can keep up to date on the league and results and any weird happenings on my website, http://legolandtimes.bravehost.com

I have also made a lego version of the Championship Manager 97/98 computer game (if anyone knows of this game?) with my lego teams replacing those of real game. If anyone still plays this game and wants to try out my lego version please just send me a mail.

Also, as I can add more "countries" into the game if anyone would like their lego country/city included into the game it is no problem - just send their names on to me.

I have put up some pics from old legoland football matches. Unfortunately the league suffered from hooliganism, especially from Legoland FC (LFC) :-| fans. :-|
