- 1. Episode 1In this first episode, reality sinks in. The Class of '92 are shocked to learn that their two managers have holidays during important pre-season matches, the stadium is falling apart, the toilets are a health hazard and their team of part-timers are sometimes late for training. It soon becomes clear that the five ex-professionals have a lot to learn about life in the amateur league. However, the season gets off to a flying start. Star striker (and male model) Gareth Seddon drops down four leagues to play with his heroes and delivers results, but the bubble soon bursts. Tempers flare on the touchline as Salford's manager is sent off for fighting, and the team drops position. The first four months are a baptism of fire. The Class of '92 need to save their season, and Scholes and Phil Neville start to coach. But can the team find their winning form again and get the promotion dream back on track?CC1 h 0 minOct 29, 2015
- 2. Episode 2It's February, and new managers Anthony 'Jonno' Johnson and Bernard Morley have arrived at Salford FC, bringing with them a fearsome reputation and much-needed discipline in the dressing room. Jonno and Bernard's tough regime is one the Class of '92 have to learn to accept and resist interfering with. With rivals Darlington now sitting in the top spot of the league, everyone is expected to dedicate themselves to winning the final games and claiming that coveted promotion. But the star striker's day job and a well-intended thank-you dinner have dire consequences for the club - much to the frustration of the new owners. The Class of '92's first season in charge draws to a close, and all eyes turn to Salford. But will the gamble on their new venture pay off, and will Salford FC realise their dreams of promotion?CC1 h 0 minNov 5, 2015
