I'm not only talking about teams who scrape past the floor; I'm talking about overmatched teams who make a genuine effort to compete, but get relegated anyways and suffer an unrealistic hit in fan support.
So PSF has nothing to do with that....Sorry if I misunderstood that you said PSF was screwing some teams.....
How fans behave is totally different topic then. I think biggest problem is not how fans react after relegation.....How fans react after giving up (tanking) is a bigger problem.
I relegated and I got 335k from my first home match. Average in my division was 295k. I cannot say that this is unrealistic hit in fan support. I don't care about fan survey, arena income is the only one which matters.
So do you have opposite examples related to relegated teams?
You were relegated after a relegation series. The hit in fan support is way heavier when you relegate as #8.
My attendance income was 227k and 214k, while league average was 265k.
I'm not complaining. Just stating that your experience is not with direct relegation and therefor your hit in fan support is less.
