Well done Sid, second trip to the ABBL and I suspect this time you will be staying. Great work!

Well done mate, it was always on the cards.

You thoroughly deserved it. Now the rest of us can back to the business of building towards the ABBL ourselves.

Thanks guys

I think I'll hedge the bets at the start of the season before I decide on the seasons objectives.

HA will agin be starting the ABBL in debt,(but no where as much as last time) but this time has a lot stronger line up, a lot more experienced manager and about 5,500 seat bigger stadium.

Would have still been stuck in II.3 in a rut with no better roster or managerial experience if I hadnt of made all the big moves a couple of seasons ago which almost bankrupt the team.

Yoda are you confident of winning the next game to enable your team to join the big boys and the not so big HA?

Word of advise for any team that promoted into div 2 at the start of the season just finished and is about to enter their second season in div 2.

Your team is about to lose the "fan survey" boost it got from winning a championship in div 3.

This means you need to seriously consider dropping your arena ticket prices

Technically this has already been dropping throughout the season but you'll notice the BIG drop when the season rolls over.

Thats interesting I didnt know that

My belief is that the drop in "fan survey" is even more pronounced for a team relegating and that as a consequence if a team was to relegate from the ABBL to Div 2, they need to have their prices below the average for the first season back in Div 2 and might possibly be able to raise them a bit the second year in Div 2.

Speaking of arena ticket prices Mr Monkey Biz.

Has HA got them about right for a team promoting into the ABBL with the size stadium that they have?

Would you vary these prices? (18, 67, 189, 1299 for a 20,0000 seat stadium comprising 16999, 2468, 500, 33)

Advise welcome

Yeah I noticed it happening to me when I first promoted to ABBL. At the start of the season I was charging max prices and was able to sell out everything. After 2/3rds of the season when you have that arena prices change, my prices no longer cut it and was making a lot less despite me not changing prices at all and also finishing with a 11-11 record for my first season of ABBL.

So in conclusion, I reckon that the initial boost you get from promotion will wear out as the season goes on.

I think those prices are fair considering the initial promotion boost but the bleachers might be extremely hard to sell out if you do not win many games and as the season goes on

Good job HA! Although we pretty much expected it, you have completed your mission. Remarkable management. I'll definitely have to check the ABBL more often and see how you perform up there. All the best to you!

We got off on the wrong foot at the start of last season, but you know your stuff when it comes to this game and I wouldnt be surprsied if you made the ABBL next season
