The first meeting of the FML community will happen on the 12th of December 2008 in the offices of Sports Interactive in London. Every person present will get a chance to chat with the members of the programming team working on Football Manager Live and take part in a press conference organised by the SI workers. On the same day, after the official part of the meeting, everyone there, including game moderators, will go out to socialise and further discuss all they want.

Additionally, the makers have offered to pay any costs of travel for the ones who come from the grounds of the Great Britain, but the participation must be confirmed before the 24th of November, by sending an email to community@footballmanagerlive.com. The fans who do live outside of the UK will have to pay by themselves, which is a bit inconvenient for them.

The producers say that it is a very important event for both SI and SEGA, because they have very high hopes regarding FM Live. That is why Sports Interactive is giving a chance to all the fans to see the game from the other side and to hear which elements are going to be worked on in the near future. It's been a well known fact for years, that the makers of Football Manager are always very interested in the opinions of the gamers and like to discuss things with them.
