The Game - Introduced to the game by a friend who played on and off at the time, in 2010. Very quickly became a competitive, but friendly rivalry.

Dynamo - The club name, Dynamo Groby, is actually lifted from another football game I play/run, and is a club name from there. Always did like the ring to it. Stadium name of Vale Park has the same origin, though I am aware I share that with Port Vale FC too.

The Early Steps - Having played for a couple of weeks and gotten hooked, I started to dabble in the transfer markets to improve my team. For the first 6/12 months of my VM career, I focused on a steady building job, slowly replacing players with slightly younger, and better quality players to make progress. With an emphasis on building a solid defence to work from, Dynamo slowly but steadily headed in the right direction. My best buy at the time was http://www.virtualmanager.com/retirees/3971254 who I picked up for just a single credit, and whom my attacking intent revolved around for several seasons. This steady progress continued into the latter stages of 2011, when I had been reaching midtable Division 4 on a regular basis.This was a time of delight in reasonable NCC cup runs, and apparent progress, but it was also time for a change of emphasis for the club.
