On the other hand.
That whole "stabilizing arena audience" talk, I think it was pure bullsh*t. After the loss in the playoffs final, my arena lost almost half of the audience. Didn't matter if I made a great last season or not, lost the two games in the final and all that went down the drain. After the games of the final I was able to almost get my arena full.
I would like to invest on new players but with this irregularity is hard to predict, even with the new "fans thing" (imo, that's another bullsh*t, it really doesn't help anything). I want hard, bullet proof, concrete data! Or a prediction... I think it would be nice...
Yeah, got all my rants up to date. This has a kind of relaxing effect, y'all should try it.

Had 1 loss all last season and after that attendance dropped below 9000 (from 12000).

This season I opened with a loss and still had 11000+ attendance in my next home game. So to me it seems that there was indeed some stabilizing of attendance.

Hmm, what seems to be the one thing you have in common with Superfly?
Oh... Both are in your countries main league! Guess little leagues don't share the same "stability" as top leagues do.

Stability.. i made a partially sarcastic thread to say that 2 teams that collectively have won many major titles still couldnt fill a 20k + stadium..... now because i get a fixed amount from the BB3 the argument is somewhat irrelevant but if i now have to base my next league attendence (vs an opponent significantly less renound than my BB3 opponent) then i am not overly optimisitic of my next attendence.

Bottom line is if 2 successful teams cant attract 20k fans then what do we have to do to make money??

The BB's had two choices for adding realism but only had time to implement one.

1 - Players unions
2 - Realistic attendance

Stupid unfortunate coin flip!
