 Would your pupils enjoy taking on the challenge of running a football club? Could they transform the ailing fortunes of Duncastle United and turn them into a championship winning side?
The Hot Seat is a brand new interactive computer game which places pupils at the heart of the decision making processes involved in running a football club as a business. Taking on the role of the Duncastle United club chairman, they must make strategic business decisions as they attempt to steer the club out of debt and back onto the road to success.
