Seven years of real mistakes.
- 1
Built from scratch, with nothing
No budget. No reputation. No existing squad, just a belief that better recruitment, better communication and better promotion would change everything.
- 2
Year one: not a single win
Zero. That's how many games we won in our first season. It would have been the easiest thing in the world to fold the club right there.
- 3
We rebuilt how we recruited
Real distance, real fit, real follow-through — no more guessing who might actually turn up. That process is what became the PlayerRadius methodology.
How we used to recruit — before PlayerRadius. - 4
Three promotions later
Using it ourselves, Finchampstead United went on to earn three consecutive promotions, and now sit on the edge of breaking into semi-professional football.
- 5
Higher-calibre players started calling
Ex-National League players. Players higher up the football pyramid than we'd ever attracted before. Even pros retiring from the professional game started taking notice.
- 6
That became PlayerRadius
Every mistake, every fix, every breakthrough, every lesson became the blueprint for the platform.
