non supporters should not half to play supporters
there is to big of a disadvantage
it seems like your trying to force me to pay to just play a game

Supporters have no advantage over non-supporters that effect the game. Why do you think this?

One question...
Non supporters may see private league games of the supporters?

That is a disadvantage for the supporters...
This private league game should be in private and only visible to other supporters.
which is the point of having a game to try different different tactics or alignments if your rivals can spy???
Lost the surprise factor...

it isn't about an ingame advantage for supporters, the main purpose of a PL is the additional fun to play with your friends, people from your federation or opponents you choose.

Having the chanche to test is just a sideeffect, and i am quite sure the advantage you gain is still bigger, the opponents may gain also information about it but normally just you should know the skills of your players ... And just because you play Princeton in the Pl don't mean that you will play it this week in league ;)

Before I was a GM I was a Supporter for a long while, almost since I discovered how much I liked the game. A huge part of both why I really liked the game and why I became a Supporter was with the realization that being a Supporter gives virtually no advantage whatsoever (other than the lessons learned from playing meaningless PL games). There are no stats, skill or cash bonuses, hidden skills, cash payouts, attendance bonuses, etc. that Supporters get. In other words, there is no way to buy your way to an advantage here like in so many other games. You just pay if like the game and want to enjoy it more with fancy logos, uniform numbers, etc. I would not stick around in a game for long if membership or having to pay for anything made some teams better than others, those aren't so much fun. I'd rather support a game that's fun.

That's my totally unsolicited two cents on why I became a Supporter.
