League description:
There are a host of leagues on X11 that you can join. But, if you want a league that is secure, competitive, and ultimately enjoyable, their numbers are occasionally in short supply. However, the HoT is one of these leagues. We clock up our 104th season next time out - it speaks for itself.
A league in which everyone finds their place almost immediately, there is a beautiful simplicity about how every manager becomes accustomed to the competition so quickly. It creates rivalries not just between opponents, but across leagues, as both personalities and managerial styles all clash in the name of the Beautiful Game.
That's not to say it's a battleground full of swearing and altercations, merely that, at its best this league has 72 managers all with a belief that their team can succeed and the ensuing exchanges are a huge part of making this league as excellent as it is. Having said that there has been some epic moments of controversy and rivalry that are still talked about years later.
The history of the HoT is built on active members, those who want to engage with a team and those around them, for most it's not purely an exercise in building a team (of course this is not outlawed), it's about being part of a league where it matters what happens, match days are filled with anticipation and not - as seems to be the norm - nonchalance.
This league exists on some very simple principles, that we will never become VIP Exclusive, we will never actively chase league rankings (although we naturally sit high in the rankings) and that there be a relaxed environment for managers to enjoy the competition and challenges they face. HoT was built on these traditions and there are many more that you will enjoy should you be part of a league that, to those who have invested time into it, is one of the best on X11.
Just ask any member what they think of the HoT. It's is not a clique, we love taking in new members, especially those who enjoy the banter. |
