Season 1:
New signing Mattie arrives, but has the chairman signed him by mistake? Meanwhile, club hardman Petey takes a dislike to him, and a team-mate shares an embarrassing problem.
Mattie befriends the team’s star player Carlos Velez. Meanwhile Jack plucks up courage to date a girl he met online and Benji is approached by a mysterious Malaysian businessman.
After a sexual conduct briefing Mattie, Benji and Jack are determined to keep out of trouble. But a chance meeting with friendly Nicola leads to a very tricky situation.
Petey insists that Mattie, Jack and Benji come to his BBQ. Meanwhile Jack’s dad oversteps the mark with his online posts and Cesare’s job as manager starts to look uncertain.
The Chairman announces a caretaker manager. After a poor start the team is forced to attend a pub night as an apology to the fans. Benji employs a social media manager.
Petey plots to bring an end to Chris Booth’s run of success. Meanwhile Jack gets a girlfriend and plans a romantic surprise. Benji has had enough of his social media manager.
