Hello
Listen, I support everything said here, and for a majority vote to do this update, but I think this option should be open to people without support.
Can we please change it so that people without the support they could get this option?
Thanks, Miro231

You clearly do not understand the concept.
The BIGGEST reason for this is to help out with BB finances.
To help keep this game alive.
Can't see why anyone would ever ask for this to be an option for non supporters.

Also seems to me that those too cheap to buy supporter would all vote negative in this poll,
since they don't get anything out of it.
Sadly, the nature of our current human existence:

"What's in it for me?"

I voted no before I saw that there was a B3 restriction. I'd probably change my vote to yes if I could.

I have to admit that I dont like this idea... Although I spend much time on bb at the moment, I wouldnt like to manage 2 teams, I simply feel like I couldnt pay as much attention to my second team as I pay to my first. That is my personal opinion, but I believe this isnt: I would just hate to play with some guy from USA, Australia or China, etc.(nations randomly picked:D) We dont speak same language, we dont even play bb at same hours because of different time zone, I cant celebrate when Serbia wins some match either in bb or in RL with them, I cant mourn with them when Serbia lose...

Another thing is something that Yellow Cake from Japan mentioned, possibility of stealing draft picks by second teams, and then intentionally not training them, just because you want to harm some country.

To conclude, I dont like this idea, but it can be improved... There was a lot of talking about some country called Utopia(or even WNBA, I like this too:D) on previous topic about this suggestion, where every second team would play. I suppose this is a lot harder to implement in game, but I like it much more, because all of the problems mentioned in this post will be fixed... Utopia will have it own leagues, cup, winners can even play in BBB, everything like a normal country...

I hope you managed to understand what I was trying to say, my english is pretty bad, but I did my best here:D

Well, I would support a feamle team probably. Having a second team in the same competitions is not a really good thought. Just contact with Hattrick useres.

Still better than bot according to those India users. And if you aren't willing to compete with that second team, it's quite possible that other would. I see that you now agree that this wouldn't be that overwhelming for the small countries to have new teams.

Since you keep mentioning these India users, according to the stats there are 28 active teams there. However, as we know the real number is probably half of that, meaning that their second division is practically empty. They would never get the amount of secondary teams to make the game more challenging.
Furthermore, If I create a secondary team, I would not chose to put in a small country where I will die of boredom. I will want to create it in Poland, Italy, France, US, etc. where I can get some fun. This in turn means that secondary teams will be concentrated in the most popular countries (in the game) which could disrupt the national identity of the respective leagues.
Things like that defeat the purpose of secondary teams, and I'm still waiting to hear a good reason why they should exist.

I think that secondary team option is a little bit differential.
From the one hand, having a second team could help new managers (like me) to do some experiments with another, not cheating of course, without afraid of losing their (primary) team's progress. On the other hand, as it was said, the point of national teams will be lost when almost every supporter has a secondary team in a foreign country. I personally like the idea of having a secondary team and if it is finally decided to be an option for supporters it will motivate me to buy the year's package!!
Finally, a little suggestion. Could we maybe have an option to change our primary team to secondary team and the other way? For example if new users have done some mistakes with their primary team changing to the secondary team will give them the chance to correct those mistakes by using their secondary team as their primary.
