Football Manager 2009 Backgrounds

If you are seeking Football Manager 2010 graphics then I advise you to take a look at FM2010 facepacks, FM2010 kits and FM2010 logos. They all can be easily downloaded!

Usually backgrounds in Football Manager 2009 are not so interesting and needed as facepacks. But anyway it’s always good to have them as for me. Personally I like to have a background of stadium of my club when I select the squad, for instance. Like this one for Hull:
This background screen is from a good pack of such screens for all teams of English Premier League, Championship, League 1 and League 2. These English backgrounds are enough for me because I prefer managing English clubs (like in my current FM09 story with Hull).
If you want to have the same backgrounds perform the following simple actions:
1. Download file using this link: Football Manager 2009 English Backgrounds
2. Unpack the RAR file (you can use WinRar or 7-Zip, for example).
3. Copy its unpacked content to folder "My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\graphics\backgrounds" (if “graphics\backgrounds” folder is absent - create it!)
4. Set FM 2009 Preferences:
- Use Skin Cache = Off
- Always Reload Skin on Confirm = On

Hull
have you added them to you game with a hull background
Yes, several days ago
Is those backgrounds just for playing in 3D mode? Or it is and for 2D mode?
It's not about pitches, it's about backgrounds.
You can see these pictures on any non-match engine screen as backgrounds.
Very nice, Vitaliy. Thanks!

You should unpack rar file to the folder "My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\graphics" - not "My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009" as you do
Hi i have done what u sed to do with the logo's background and it isnt working
i wondered if you or anyone could helpc me?
pls
Hi Vitaliy,
I am currently playing sunderland, and the path to the sunderland background is \My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\graphics\backgrounds\eng\premiership, placed properly as far as I can see.
However, the background is still not showing correctly. Have I done something wrong?
FYI I am able to use the facepacks without problem. I just wish there were a Denmark facepack so that I couls see what Gravensen and Sionko look like!
sorry Vitaliy, but i deperatley need your help!!!
i have done all of the background stuff and i have recently downloaded the skin, iTunes09 left, so when i activated the skin, i had an arsenal background come up and i would like a West Ham one, so how do i change it?
Regards, Billy;)
PALGOLAK,
it could happen because of your skin.
Try if there backgrounds appear if you set standard skin.
Billy,
it's hard to determine your problem...
May be you should ask other people at community.sigames.com forums
PALGOLAK & Billy, There is 1 x more check box in Preferences that needs to be selected which is 'Show Background Pictures' in the Display settings. Should work then...
PCam
It is working now. Thanks Anonymous!
