I have been in BBBL since season 23. Now that Joe has gone down (not that I fancy that whatsoever) I have a very good chance of being the team staying for the longest in BBBL.
That's 26 seasons done. Out of those seasons I made it to the playoffs 24 times. From those I made it 3 times to the championship's finals (1 win) and 3 times the the cup's finals (2 wins - actually I went to the finals a 4th time but I was in D.2 that season).
That's not an impressive record (although I am delighted at those titles, of course - especially the Cup win against AmenRa which came as a huge surprise to me) - maybe I would have been better off shining from time to time and go down for rebuilding in the meanwhile ?
I just don't like the idea of going down unless I must because I couldn't hold my ground. At least all seasons are exciting. Tanking and optimizing training is something I'm doing with my Utopia team, and it's not really a great load of fun. Well, seeing the players make constant progress is fun, but not caring about wins and losses isn't.
