Burkesburg Footpad Club
Lietpold the Black, merciless Warlord and Ruler of the grim stronghold of Burkesburg saw what was happening in sports. With the rise of big leagues like CIBBL and BIBBL Lietpold wanted to get his share of the lucrative Blood Bowl market. The easy earnings of low-grade merchandise, dodgy sponsorships and rigged bettings couldn’t be ignored any longer. Watching how teams from paltry regions like Tilea, Estalia and even the remote Myrmidens were generating competitive squads this was a no-brainer.

Recruitment of players from all over the Border Princes quickly showed Lietpold that the best suited subjects were to be found among the many bandit outfits roaming the Borderlands. Silk Road highwaymen, sneaky footpads, brutal robbers, common thugs and dissidents from all over the Old World - of which there is an abundance in the Border Principalities anyway - made out the core of his team. And with dirty and attractive tactics like stabbing, eye gouging, strangling and kneecapping this rag-tag squad of goons soon rose to fame. If not for their results then for the quality of entertainment. Burkesburgs 1st Footpad Club was born. Merchandise sales and profits from betting skyrocketed and soon Lietpold (almost) withdrew from common thuggery to become a full-blooded Blood Bowl team owner.



————— Excerpt from ‘The Burkesburg Bulletin’ —————

...the Awful Autumn of 04 finally ended on a high note when Hall of Broken Dreams were broken (!) in a glorious showing of BFC’s hit-and-run tactics. Kutter finished the season in style and the two teams look forward to their next clash in the upcoming Winter season.

Awards & Prestige:

After spring 2604 > 11 Prestige Points
After summer 2604 > 15 Prestige Points


Year 2604

Friendlies, Winter, W/D/L - 0/1/2
Game 1: vs. Hall of Broken Dreams, 0-1 loss
Game 2: vs. Cripple Peak Warpgrinders, 1-2 loss
Game 3: vs. Drakwold Devils, 1-1 draw

Recap: A short intense winter season saw the BFC growing a couple more of them chesthairs. ‘7-Fingers’ mutilated two beastmen in the 1st game but the offensive game was non-existent. 2nd game saw a brilliant TD by the duo Snaphance/Kutter but the Clans arsenal of bombs and evil machinery dampened BFCs attacking potential and the quick rats won it. 3rd game vs. more beastmen was tough and bloody with the 1st dead player of the team when Rico Cannibalo was maimed by a Bestigor. Kutter was flying second game in a row with both incredible stabbing shenanigans and a superior equalizing TD.
Tournament MVP:
Kutter

Regionals, Spring, W/D/L - 2/1/1 - 3rd place (out of 5)
Prestige points: 11
(10 + 1 Achievement Point)
Game 1: vs. Bilbali Blackhearts, 2-2 draw
Game 2: vs. Bordeleaux Golden Bastilion, 1-2 loss
Game 3: vs. Ursunite Fellowship, 2-1 win
Game 4: vs. Illios Praetorians, 2-1 win

Recap: 1st spring regionals was a good run of games. Starting out vs. the Blackhearts which looked like a tough fixture. But 'The Rat' Mutts scored 2 TD's to get the draw. Then BFC faced the strongest team of the group and after a close match the Brets won it. The Kislevites proved to be more lenient and '7-fingers' got his 2nd '2 CAS in a game' with Snaphance as double TD-scorer. A welcome win. Then the stoic myrmidians showed up with a deep urge to redeem themselves after a terrible season. They almost secured the draw but Mutts and Münster got it done in the dying moments of the game and BFC ended the season with a 2-1 win - one TD short of conquering the 2nd spot of the group.
Tournament MVP:
Gordie Snaphance

Lunar Embrace, Summer, W/D/L - 1/1/3 - 11th place (out of 12)
Prestige points: 4

Game 1: vs. Bilbali Blackhearts, 0-1 loss
Game 2: vs. Plague of the Horned Rat, 2-1 win
Game 3: vs. Ruinous Thunderfangs, 0-2 loss
Game 4: vs. Barak Varr Ironbreakers, 0-2 loss
Game 5: vs. Wasteland Chain Gang, 1-1 draw

Recap: Game 1 vs. regional rivals Blackhearts and this time the Estalians came out on top. Only new Rogue ‘Shiv’ Pagan put up a good fight with two late stab-injuries. Ignited by this bitter defeat the 2nd game thankfully became an effective showing of good attacking tactics. A good match by Grigoz H’Ayat with brutal fouling game and the BFC got their first summer win. Next game was tough. The Kurgans didn’t give them much room and BFC had a poor game losing 2 to nothing. After that they faced dwarfs. Dwarfs... A very bad game. ‘7-fingers’ was killed by a journeyman dwarf (and luckily saved by the doc) and Snaphance injured himself tripping over his own feet. He was out in the last game vs. sneaky, stabby hobgoblin slavers and their blodgy black orcs. 1st half was the best showing of the BFC this season. Very good defending and a good defensive TD by 'Kutter'. 2nd half was horrific and Mutts was left alone to fend off 2 black orcs due to a major tactical error - he didn't succeed. A stalemate 1-1 game. But Shiv Pagan really knows how to stab hobgoblins!
Tournament MVP:
Shiv Pagan

Tin Division, Autumn, W/D/L - 1/0/5 - 7th place (out of 7)
Prestige points: -

Game 1: vs. We Be BIg!, 0-2 loss
Game 2: vs. Ruinous Thunderfangs, 1-2 loss
Game 3: vs. Deep Desire, 0-2 loss
Game 4: vs. Cripple Peak Warpgrinders, 0-2 loss
Game 5: vs. Followers of the Red Lightning, 0-2 loss
Game 6: vs. Hall of Broken Dreams, 2-0 win

Recap: 1st game was in the rain vs. very tough orcs and gobbos. A poor showing and the humiliation was completed when a Big ‘Un danced through the impotent BFC defense to make it 2-0. Then Kurgans. BFC made them work for the victory and the Thunderfangs were lucky to get the win. After that came two more very bad games. The Slaanesh even forced a broken Snaphance to retire and his replacement was injured severely and retired by an apathetic Coach Gorbag after another defeat vs. the Warpgrinders. The dark times continued vs. the Hung. No dodges worked and 'The Rat' barely made it through the game alive. Thanks 'Stitch'... Then a brutal chaotic team arrived at The Ravens Nest. Surely this should be another defeat. '7-Fingers' was out and the mood was bitter. But the BFC fans summoned the Spirit of Spring and the team was victorious! At last a win with Kutter as stone cold conducter stabbing a warrior for a CAS and scoring the winning TD.
Tournament MVP:
Kutter


Year 2605

Friendlies, Winter 05, W/D/L - 0/0/1
Game 1: vs. Hall of Broken Dreams, 0-3 loss

Recap: A vengeful Broken Dreams arrived at the Ravens Nest for a ‘friendly’ rematch after their last skirmish during the Autumn of 04. It didn’t go down well... They utterly destroyed the BFC and it’s time for a bit of rebuilding...

Deadline Schedule - Current season - Spring 05:

Excerpts from The Burkesburg Bulletin

‘Dat Siggi needs ta get ‘is ‘ead outta ‘is bum. Got all dem wimmen on ‘is mind. I’m gonna rip off dat mind. Make Stitch glue it on ‘is fore’ead if ‘e don’t wake up!’ - Coach Gorbag after Zenmelmunds crucial ball loss vs. Cripple Peak Warpgrinders.

‘Dem new ratskin Balls ar’ Great!’ - Quote by new runner Devlin ‘The Rat’ Mutts after his brilliant debut with him scoring 2 TD’s vs. Bilbali Blackhearts.

‘Me new unnerworl unnamor no good...’ Z’ortg’N after being fouled off the pitch, patched up by Stitch and then injured again by a Bretonnian knight vs. Bordeleaux Golden Bastilion.His fancy new spandex sold to him by a goblin 'Underworld Underarmour' vendor didn’t quite live up to promise.

'Finally zat new rat on za bloque left le limelight!' A gleeful Snaphance after scoring 2 TD's vs Ursunite Fellowship. BFCs's 1st win. New - and very successful - runner Mutts made a rookie mistake in the 1st half and ended head first in the crowd.

‘Dat Prätzlorian coach went mental when I ran in dat ball - understandable. It was an awesome TD!’ Lemmie Münster after scoring his 1st (and probably last) TD in his career vs. Illios Praetorians to secure the win in the last game of spring 2604.

'Oi Vee!! Ma boots needs a good cleenin' after stomping on all dem smelly rats!' An ecstatic Grigoz H'Ayat after his fouling fest vs. Plague of the Horned Rat in the 2nd round of Lunar Embrace 2604.

'Dem Dorfs pack a punch! - we knew dat but holysh&%€#t. '7-fingers' almost bought da ticket but thank Nuffle Stitch is handy wit da suturing kit. Gordie wasn't so lucky... Let's forget diz nitemare and move on...quickly!' Coach Gorbag after a tough match vs. Barak Varr Ironbreakers in the 4th round of Lunar Embrace 2604.

‘Zat was tuff' - words of agony uttered through a mouthful of broken teeth. Gordie Snaphance - star runner of the team - was a bitter man after the slaaneshi team Deep Desire showed BFC how the game is played during the 'Awful Autumn' of '04. 'We tout zey'd be pushovers as zem Tricksters, but no...' he continued painstakingly before leaving the stadium never to return.

The Awful Autumn of 04 finally ended on a high note when Hall of Broken Dreams were broken (!) in a glorious showing of BFC’s hit-and-run tactics. Kutter finished the season in style and the two teams look forward to their next clash in the upcoming Winter season.

Hall of Fame
Gordie Snaphance
- 1st runner to join the BFC. But delusions of grandeur made him take some unnecessary chances and he paid for it in blood.

Staff
Headcoach:
Gorbag ‘The Half-Man’ Doomspider - A mysterious feral looking person presented as new headcoach by Lietpold in the weeks prior to the winter season, year 2604. The clubs 1st year in BIBBL. He’s rumoured to be a goblinoid bastard of sorts and he’s certainly inspired by the their dirty playstyle. But if you hint at his supposed ancestry in his vicinity be prepared to take a dagger to the gut! He doesn’t mess around.

Assistant Coaches:
1. Enzo 'The Cripple' Labbadia, LOS detail
2. Lemmie Münster, Team Moral / Cheese & Beverages Coordinator

Current Team Captain: Sven 'Strangler' Holmgang

Apothecary: An ex-barbrawler dragged from the dungeons beneath Lietpold the Blacks stronghold only going by 'Stitch' got the apo gig after the 1st game. He's got a rep for resetting dislocated joints and stitching severed fingers back on. Even the fingers from an ogre - 'those ar' de' eazy ones' he says. Z'Ortg'N approves.

The Black Book
Progress:
Runner: Block/Dodge + Side Step/Fend
Rogue: Block/Diving Tackle or Block/Side Step
Brawler: Guard/MB/Block or MB/Tackle/Block or Tackle/Strip Ball/MB
Ogre: Guard/Stand Firm/Grab

Grudges:
The Estalian outfit Bilbali Blackhearts - an upstuck team of rich boys. Gave BFC one of their most humiliating and bitter defeats in the 1st match of the Lunar Embrace Cup 2604. They must be defeated - everytime!

The chaotic horde known as Hall of Broken Dreams and BFC has build up a pretty brutal tradition of beating each other to a pulp. Always a ‘high-stakes’ game when they meet on the pitch!
