Hi Guys,

In preparation for the new season lets have a look at the changes to the divisions in the top flight.

AC East
No Change

AC North
It's goodbye to Heidelburg Aquanauts who lost in the relegation play offs to Nicks Rams who won T2.1 AC South convincingly last season and return to the division they were in back in season 6.

AC South
No Change

AC West
Goodbye to turigtians esports club (TEC), who went bot and lost their relegation play off match to Goldrush who won T2.1 NC South and also to Canco Hunters, who also went bot and welcome back to Severnside Falcons through the bot flush, who won T2.1 NC West and were previously in T1.1 NC West in season 9.

NC East
It's goodbye to Damaryans Strikers who both went bot last season and The Blizzard who went down by automatic relegation. Welcome to Opole Red Stars TB2.2 finalists and to St Louis Rams TB2.1 finalists.

NC North
No Change

NC South
No Change

NC West
It's good bye to sur la route, who went bot, and Red Stars, who were relegated automatically. Welcome back to London Bulldogs TB 2.1 winners, who were in AC North in season 9 and also to Northants Kites TB 2.2 winners.

Later this week I will do my pre-season look into each division and give my thoughts for the new season.

Predictions will be running again if anyone is interested. It is for fun.

Don't forget to post comments and rants in this forum as it makes the season more interesting.

CofC and Supercup information also done by pete and preachie now and I wish you well in those competitions.

I should also remind you to check you have prepped your draft selection and wish you the worst of luck in the draft so the best players will come to me.

So then welcome to Nicks Rams, Goldrush, Severnside Falcons, Opole Red Stars, St Louis Rams, London Bulldogs and Nothants Kites.

Good luck to all for the forthcoming season and let the fights begin.

Hello and welcome to Thunder 1.1 Pre-Season Show.

During this week, before the new season starts on the 28th, I will be taking a look at each division with my thoughts and comments.

So without much further ado we start as usual with......

AC EAST

Chelsea Raiders (Nation) are managed by E Logic and are now entering their 3rd season at this level.
Their 1.1 record is 29-3 and they have won the Divisional Title in Seasons 9 & 10.

Die Verdammten are managed by Lawinenhund and are also entering their 3rd season at this level.
Their 1.1 record is 16-16.

Juan Renegades are managed by roberto2104 and are entering their 7th season at this level.
Their 1.1 record is 61-35 and they have won the Divisional Title in Seasons 6 & 8.

Totoras Patriots are managed by JonatanRiver and are entering their 8th season at this level.
Their 1.1 record is 49-63.

Since their promotion, two seasons ago, Chelsea Raiders (Nation) have taken this division by the throat and unless E Logic has any unwarranted mishaps a hattrick of titles should be theirs at the end of the new season. Obviously E Logic will be targeting notsch and Landru Athletics for a shot at this years Thunder Bowl.

Die Verdammten improved in their 2nd season, much as predicted by this commentator, and only missed out on the play offs on the last week of the season. The question now is can they get across that line into the play offs.... well much will depend on the results of their divisional matches, a 4-2 record should make them a certainty, but getting something of Chelsea Raiders (Nation) or Juan Renegades could be the stumbling block.

Juan Renegades got over the shock of Chelsea Raiders (Nation) storming 1st season by clawing back a little of that gap last season. Can they claw back the rest? roberto2104 will have his work cut out this season not only to close that gap, but also to fend off Die Verdammten taking over the number two slot. It could well be an interesting race between these three teams.

Totoras Patriots have not had a winning season now since season 5. JonatanRiver must be wondering what he has to do to turn it around. Well... they were one win better off last season than the previous three seasons, maybe another step could be ground out this season, however I think that they will remain rooted to the bottom of the division again.

Position Forecast
1. Chelsea Raiders (Nation)
2. Juan Renegades
3. Die Verdammten
4. Tortoras Patriots

Now to take a break and upon our return I will look at AC North.

And welcome back to the Pre-Season show.

Now it is time to look at

AC North

General Rodriguez Warriors are managed by Nestoro and are entering their 9th season at this level.
Their 1.1 record is 95-33 and have won the Divisional Title in seasons 3,4,5,6,7 & 8.

Hackney Marshes are managed by Majortinkle and are entering their 3rd season at this level.
Their 1.1 record is 15-17.

Nicks Rams are managed by vaarg and are entering their 4th season at this level.
Their 1.1 record is 12-36.

Sydney Convicts are managed by hosh13 and are entering their 4th season at this level.
Their 1.1 record is 33-15 and have won the Divisional Title in seasons 9 & 10.


After many seasons of controlling this division General Rodriguez Warriors have lost their way over the last two seasons. Head to head they can match Sydney Convicts, but they have to find consistency against their non divisional rivals to be able to challenge for the divisional title again.

A good 1st season was had by Hackney Marshes, but a harder schedule and big losses in their 2nd left them wanting. This seasons schedule has possibilities for some improvement, but much is up to Majortinkle's game plans.

After a long break Nicks Rams return to the division they left at the end of season 6, however it looks like it could well be a difficult return for them not that they cannot gain further experience, but a winning season at this level is beyond them at the moment.

Sydney Convicts should continue their recent dominance of this division, but hosh13 should not rest on his laurels as both General Rodriguez Warriors and Hackney Marshes could easily overtake them with improved consistency.

Position Forecast
1. Sydney Convicts
2. General Rodriguez Warriors
3. Hackney Marshes
4. Nicks Rams

Now for another short break and we will be back with AC South

Here we are again at Thunder 1.1 Pre-Season Show...

Now to move onto....

AC South

Budapest Wolves are managed by janos and they are now entering their 10th season at this level.
Their 1.1 record is 99-45.

Joburg Brawlers are managed by Nelson777 and they are now entering their 6th season at this level.
Their 1.1 record is 47-33.

Landru Athletics are managed by notsch and they are now entering their 10th season at this level.
Their 1.1 record is 133-11 and have won the Divisional Title every season from season 2 to season 10, they have also won the Thunder Bowl in seasons 2,4,5,6,7 & 9.

Prague Lions are managed by Finglow and they are now entering their 3rd season at this level.
Their 1.1 record is 3-29.


With the exception of a couple of unnecessary defeats the Budapest Wolves could well have made life difficult for Landru Athletics last season. If janos can overcome those types of lapses this season then notsch could find his dominance of the division ending.

Joburg Brawlers lost their way last season and it will need something radical from Nelson777 to get them back into a position to challenge Landru Athletics and Budapest Wolves for a divisional title.

Nine divisional titles, six Thunder Bowl wins and two further Thunder Bowl finals shows the strength of notsch and his Landru Athletics, however improvement from Budapest Wolves can make winning the division harder, better teams in other divisions will make winning the Conference harder. Could it be that the aura of invincibility is being washed away? Maybe, but not quite yet.

Prague Lions now really have to find something special or they will be enduring another long hard season rooted to the bottom of this division and wondering whether it will be relegation play offs again or face automatic relegation.

Position Forecast
1. Landru Athletics
2. Budapest Wolves
3. Joburg Brawlers
4. Prague Lions

We will be back after this commercial break with a look at AC West and an overview of the AC Conference... Don't go away.

Now on the Pre-Season show we will look at ….

AC West

Goldrush are managed by devolution and this is their rookie season at this level.

Severnside Falcons are managed by passionatelad is there 2nd season at this level.
Their 1.1 record is 3-13.

Texas Roadrunners are managed by LMajor7 and this will be their 8th season at this level.
Their 1.1 record is 49-63.

Vienna Falcons are managed by wiesengrund and this will be their 8th season at this level.
Their 1.1 record is 74-38 and have won the Divisional Title every season from 6 to 10.

Goldrush join us as T2.1 NC West divisional winners and through beating TEC in the relegation play offs. They appear to have a reasonable squad that could have a chance of settling in at this level as their fixture schedule looks quite helpful.

Severnside Falcons rejoin us through the bot flush and made a reasonable attempt last time they were here. That experience should warrant a good chance of remaining at this level this time, though their fixture schedule is a little bit harder than Goldrush's.

Texas Roadrunners would be hoping to close the gap on Vienna Falcons, but this could be harder than expected as the new boys in this division are not going to be push overs, however if they can compete at the Falcons level this could prove to be an interesting division.

Wiesengrund's Vienna Falcons have enjoyed total control of this division for the past two seasons and should just about sneak it this time as the division has the possibility of becoming a tough prospect.

Position Forecast
1. Vienna Falcons
2. Texas Roadrunners
3. Goldrush
4. Severnside Falcons


The overall view of the AC Conference is still the same as in previous seasons. Landru Athletics are still the team to beat and eventhough both Chelsea Raiders (Nation) and Sydney Convicts give them good games in the last two Conference Championship matches they always seem to find something extra.
It could well be that it needs Budapest Wolves or Joburg Brawlers to pinch the divisional title from them before their dominance of the conference can be stopped.

With that said three of the divisions have the possibility of being closer than in previous seasons and the other one will depend on how well the new boys settle in.

I close by wishing the guys in the AC Conference the best of luck next season and to all you guys in Thunder 1.1 I wish you all the best holiday seasons greetings and I will be back later this week with my look at the NC Conference.
