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

Haha fair enough!

Hey Sid u seem to be active on the forums, have you ever considered getting supporter and joining the fishbowl PL? It's all Aussie teams and about 3/4 of abbl teams are in it.....

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!

Are you talking to me ?

I have rated your post because of its "alarmist content"

"The injuns are coming", "The injuns are coming", "woe is me the world is about to end", HA wants to get his team back into to the ABBL

There is no denying that I would love for my team to promote to the ABBL again next season but I must reinterate that I started this season in Div 2 with a negative bank balance

After reading Chumungas post and doing a bit more research I am convinced that Glenelg Tigers are the team to beat.

Decent stadium, massive cash flow about a $120 K in the positive by my calculations, the strongest starting 5 in the league and an array of highly potentialled trainees as well.

I got lucky a couple of seasons ago when most of my competitors in II.3 got scared and let me through.

As for massive move, I went within a few hours of bankruptcy not that long ago so I'm a bit more conservative in nature now and have about 5 mill less in the bank now, than what I did back then before I made my move.

Things are a lot tougher in div 2 than two seasons ago with stronger rosters and more competitive teams. There is more than one team who have 2 or 3 players with a higher salary than my best

I'm not much of a basketballer strategist and was frowned upon by most in the ABBL last season for my lack of managerial nouse.

Are you "outing me" so as to draw attention away from your own aspirations of making the ABBL?

Any Manager who can sell a 35 year old "has been" for $400 K has to be a bigger threat than me

Look as I've said before I'm happy if you want to roll over and let me win, but I seriously think you should be more concerned about Glenelg Tigers
