BSN/BSS to Champions League Challenge

[A Person]

It's exactly what it says in the title. Every year people try to do this, so this thread can be for players hints, tactics help, boasting about achievements and general support for probably the longest, hardest, most rewarding game on Football Manager.


--- The Rules ---

First off, you have to start with a team from the Blue Square South or Blue Square North. It must be a team in these divisions at the start of the game. You must manage this team from before the first game of the first season.
Teams must not be edited or modified in any way. Kits can be changed but anything affecting gameplay is not allowed.
It's really up to you, but I would say that any form of 'Genie Scout' or something similar isn't allowed. It makes this challenge too easy. Attribute masking can be taken off.
You can load up any leagues and players.
Your reputation must begin on automatic.
Countries can be managed to keep the game fresh, but the club team must be managed from start to finish.
When you win the Champions League with one of these teams you will have completed the challenge.
