On 22.04.2014 i played 7th place red group in my league and got an attendance of 15046 for $319232 (TV game).
On 24.04.2014 i won the cup game
On 26.04.2014 i played 1st place in red group (at that time i was second) of my league and expected a significant up in income for three reasons:
1. Higher ranked opponent
2. Won one more cup game
3. Won TV game
Result: attendance 14969 for $318853
On 29.04.2014 i played 1st place blue group of my league and got an attendance of 14925 for $317625.

Now the question: Why is my attencance dropping when i have a winning streak AND play better opponents?
I know i had a double overtime loss to my rival in the first match this season but this is bullshit.
I am leading the league and have not even close to average arena income without a single arena seat category sold out after a seven game win streak and i am still in the cup.

No players bought or sold, none listed on the transfer list, in fact, no changes on the team since start of the season.
Same PR manager (lvl 2) all the time.

I'm assuming you haven't changed your prices (they went into effect yesterday). Maybe you lost some rating on the fan survey for "Manager is doing everything he can to improve the team" because you haven't changed your team in a while? Maybe TV games attract more supporters? Maybe it's there's a random factor for attendance which was very high during the TV game and low during the other two?

Seems curious indeed, I'd expect more fans too.

Have not changed prices.
I have 4 balls for "manager does everything..." and that did not change either.
Do TV games attract more attendance? In my experience not.
Random factor? Not sure, doubt it. So far attendance always correlated with league rank (both yours and opponent), win streak (most important last game). Those factors heavily influence bleacher attendance, the other seats much less so.
However, i LOST on bleachers.

I think your level 2 PR manager is the problem here.
Iam facing a bit the same problems like you have right now.
Some history with my team ,I got demoted from Div.1 ,and got back to 1 rigt away the season after .
The first season in Div 1 everything was sold out,with level 4 PR manager,and now it's a whole different story ,bleacher but also seats are not sold out ,and the prices are the same.And Iam doing pretty well with a second place in my conference.
Seems that my fans still have problems with my demotion ,so Iam thinking to get a a level 5 PR manager ,and hope this will make a difference ....

*level 2 manager ,is not good enough imo...

If my question would have been: Why is my arena not sold out? or Why is my income so low? You might have been right.

My question was: Why is my attendance / income dropping? For that i dont see a PR manager (had the same one since last season) as a possible explanation.

Oke ,what other explanation can there be,if your results are pretty good:).
I think you should try it,and see what happens ,it's not like a lvl 4 is very expensive..

**Ahhh ,,now I see the problem,you got promoted in season 25 to D2,your fans were very happy with that result.And than it does'nt matter what level PR manager you have,because you got the promotion boost.But now its a different thing your second season in D2 your fans have forgotten that,I know for sure ,if you get a better PR guy your income will be better...

cant please all the fans. It might be because who is not playing. How much faith are putting in your youth to start hard game..

it two side to please.. the winning hardcore fans and the building hardcore fans. You have to take risk with the line up and win games.

I play with the same lineup for almost a season now. My (drafted) trainees get increasing game time.
So this cant be a reason. This week my income dropped again, but thats probably due to losing the cup last Thursday.
Still, pretty poor income for a match 1st blue vs 1st red after a 10 league games winning streak...
