First stop will be 20,002

The stadium will have a breather at 19,771 seats in about 2 weeks time, to assess what its final configeration will be

Will be One of the following

17171 17071 17071
2222 2332 2442
565 555 656
44 44 33

20,002 20,002 20,202

Hurt me in the ABBL only having the 14 or so thousand seats

If I ever make it back to the ABBL I will then reassess the size and might consider going to the 22 K mark

Any theory behind 20002?? Or you just like the symmetry?

Yep I like the symmetry.

I'm a bit wierd like that

Likely scenarios for stadium are

19,991, 20,002 21,112 or 22,222

Intend to finish build for this season on 20,002 and may leave it there

Thanks for the compliments guys, though Chumunga is closer in his analysis of my team.
After only promoting last year and working to get a solid base behind me, this year is going to be focused on continuing to train guys like trakys and stevens (weightman is nearly capped), while remaining in contention for the playoffs. You can see my strategy coming through with the losses to EGG and most recently PNR. Both times i played TIE and both times I played one of my trainees the whole 48 mins.

I'm hoping that Trakys and Stevens become two cornerstones of my team moving forward, and that the rookie Agustino can be that third key player in a cpl seasons. So I would say in 2-3 seasons i'll be in a position to hopefully promote. Hell it took me about 7 seasons to get out of III.6 once i finally put some time into this game.

That said, i'll always make moves it's going to put my team in a stronger position.

As for the favourites this season, as i said earlier in the season i think SBV would have to go in as favourite after getting pipped at the post last season.

Thanks for the thought

Main two reasons why I havent joined a private league are;

Being a Married man means I have no money

I'm "hopelessly addicted" to the game and spend too much time as it is without being in a private league as well


Plus those ABBL guys were a bit rough on me last year

Finally a much needed home win, and more importantly a win against my rival Broometime.

Despite a strong start to the season my fans have been disgruntled and leaving nearly 6000 seats unoccupied for my games to start the season. Hopefully this win will improve their support of the team and lead to better gate receipts.

Has anyone else had trouble getting fans to games this year. My team is performing better so far, and i've made zero adjustments to my costings yet i'm seeing 3000-4000 less fans at each game. Could it be a BB system wide change?

My gate takings have been great. My arena is not as big as yours, but I'm charging a fair bit more.

I think having an under 21 player helps.

Just stick to concentrating on getting home wins and dont go getting any illussions of winning your next away game.

19,140 fans at my teams last home game which is good considering how unhappy the fans were at last season efforts, but its also a clear sign that ticket prices are way too cheap.

Its occurred to me in seasons past that attendances are generally a bit lower at the start of a season (whilst your in the cup), but tend to go up when a few other positives factors (tv games, hated rivals etc) kick in on the fan survey.

With your team you would have had a kick in the fan survey last season (attendance boost) because you had just been declared champions of your Div 3. That "boost" will have expired this season (fans not as happy at lasts seasons efforts) hence possibly causing your observed lower attendances

HA, you're so funny! Almost trying to make me look like an idiot in here and the telling your promotion intentions in other forums :p

So whats the plan? Big spending party after at the end of the season? Or maybe after the asw, if you think hca is worth it?

Come on mate, it's high time that you tell us a little bit more about it now that you've been spotted!
