Blood on the Boots

The season

• 20 games, home and away. A full league table, the fixtures in the paper every morning, and the derby on the last day.
• Watch it your way. From your seat at Kirkhead Park, on the telly in the pub, or on your phone, with live commentary.
• Back your team. Bet on the title at the start of the season, on today's game, or on the horses at the bookies.
• Win the league and the night doesn't end at the final whistle.

The streets

• A new town every run. Every game builds a different Kirkhead: new streets, shops, pubs, rival firms and lads.
• Turf. Every district belongs to someone. Push the other firms out and hold the most by the derby.
• Fighting. Punches, kicks, heavy hits, grabs and headbutts, blocks and parries, dodges and lock-on. Anything lying about is fair game: bins, chairs, bottles, pint glasses, half-bricks.
• The polis. Get seen and your wanted level goes up. Lose them on foot or in a stolen motor, or spend the night in the cells. Drive like an idiot and you'll get pulled over for your licence.
• Getting about. Nick a car, hire one, or take the bus or the train.

The firm

• Recruit lads and tell them to follow you or wait at the pub. Start a chant and they'll answer; when it goes off, they'll pile in.
• Rank up with rep and pick perks. Build yourself up at the gym, the barber's and the tattoo parlour.
• Keep the firm going. Do the day's jobs, spray tags, do deliveries in a van, rob shops, force doors, play the puggy and trade shares on your phone.
• Your own flat. Get your head down in your own bed, watch the match from the sofa, and hire a car from the key bowl.

Co-op for up to 5

• Everyone's in the host's firm: one wallet, one rep, one turf map, one league.
• Everyone gets their own flat, their own hire car and their own wanted level.
• Ride in each other's cars, fight side by side and see each other on the map. The day ends when everybody's called it a night.
