Hey Sid,

I have made some major moves over the past month to releive some salary pressure (God it hurts dropping from ABBL) and have a more consistant team. I am still struggling to get my crowds anywhere near where they were in Div 2 before I got promoted to ABBL last season.

First relegation around was relatively easy for HA in that I spent half a season having a bet each way in the ABBL and pretty much had a value for salary team ready to go when I entered back into div 2.

I set the crowds below average to allow for the dissatisfaction of my crowd for my team being relegated.Just like a team gets a boost in crowd satisfaction the season they are promoted they take a kick when the team is relegated.

Teams who get promoted and forget to drop their ticket prices for the second season take a knock because the crowds are no longer as satisfied

I did a bit of research when renetering div 2 and had everything below half price i.e. bleachers $9 etc. gradually I snuck them up after having success against rivals and in TV games and in the cup.

If you are still in div 2 next season you will find that the crowd satisfcation will not be as low. Good luck to all

Thanks for the advice. I think I have been too much of a tight arse to drop my ticket margins too much so have suffered the consequences. I lowered my prices in line with where they were at before my promotion but didnt account for drop in crowd satisfaction. The fans have been harsh!

Damn I'm such a stupid bidder! When my eyes get caught by a player, there is no way I'll give up a bidding war :(

Ah well sometimes you overpay, sometimes you get a bargain and I guess that make us all happy traders.

Whatever, happy new year to you guys and let's get the party started in Europe!

6 games to go and the Great 8 finalists are set. While in the Big 8 there can still be a fair bit of movement between 3 - 6 with only 2 games separating them. Sorry North Carlton but I think you are 1 game to far away.

Any predictions for 3rd and 4th of the Big 8?

Hey, this is something I found under my economic section:

"1/27/2011 GM-issued fine $ 29 562 "

This is listed as a credit.

Could anybody tell me more about it? What's that exactly? Where does it come from?

I had this once too. I think it's got to do with trades that you've made. Possibly you paid too much for a player or something along those lines.

OMG Bond is out for 2 weeks! He played one minute FFS...

Wheres the luck.

There goes any run at finals I may have decided on. Guess I'll save the money I made so far this season and not reinvest in a new player.

:(

He will be back in time for finals. Don't waste your top seed position.

You are on the good side of the division.

Nice purchase MR, glad it's happened after our game lol

He looks really effective considering his rather low salary.

So what's your plan now, get those boys in shape and start stacking enthusiasm? DAS and TST have been tanking for a long time, I wouldn't be surprised if they went shopping before the relegation series.
