Season 28 Discussion

Won't it be smaller than the 50k?

From the docs - 'The cup final is played at the national stadium with no home ground advantage for either side. Attendance will be normal 'Final' attendance regardless of the extra capacity. '

200k for the winner, 100k for the RU. Congrats on making the final Brentton!

I presume to get a crowd of near 50k both of you will need to have super high contentment.

in my cup final with chewy in season 26, we managed 49k attendance. Looking at my financial history, cup profit sharing was $308k (i.e. we recieved that amount each as profit)

You're right Rob, I never even checked. Just checked the last few seasons and it HAS been profit-sharing. I know that it was a clean 200k before, never noticed the change. Last season I got 270k. I suppose it'll be about the same. I'll have about 3610 members.

I have 4300 members, hopefully we can get over 40k.

razor, your stadium is 6000 places short of what it ought to be
brentton, yours is 4000 places short

4000... I don't know what calculator you work off mate.

I thought about increasing it but going down from div I and having some average contentment, plus playing guys with much lower membership I don't always full out the 33k I have.

I thought the standard formula was capacity = alpha * members?

with alpha being between 8.5 and 9.5?

Taking the most conservative value gives me a stadium of 36500+ for 4300 members. So at least +3500 to the 33K you have.

Am I missing anything?

Yeah, I think that's the accepted number. It always seemed high to me though. I tend to stick below the lower end of that and often don't sell out.

I always wanted to do a study (and eventually a calculator), that could take into account expected contentment along with your member size and growth and come up with a stadium size suggestion for your team. I collected some data right after the fix to the standing seats bug but it wasn't quite enough.

I think times members by 9 is expecting some big growth. Have always gone between 8 to 8.25.

i gave up trying to use a calculator....these days i go with the formula of "is my stadium selling out"..if yes "then increase it" at a rate of "well lets have a look at everyone elses stadium and see where what seats they are filling up"...

....the formula was working out brilliantly until i had the biggest stadium...

9x or even 9.5x can be okay but it comes down to contentment. If Brentton promotes back up he could expand his stadium. However if he goes up, and then back down straight away his contentment will be terrible and won't sell out his stadium, and lose lots of money.

Linkin Hawk is selling!

Well, his side is a bit overpowered for division three. I guess the plan is to leave the side good enough to win the league and use the! money saved to buy some new players next season for division two.

One of better tactical wins today - https://www.blackoutrugby.com/game/tools.live.scoring.php#fixture=14818330&report=1

With the U20 match on this morning, I totally forgot about league matches. I had a match against my main league rival and was going to LTNT but forgot to set the orders. Luckily, the Normal did the business and I came away with the win. #notsohumblebrag

nice surprise...i was clueless that this was a challenge...i sent out a very rare league pltnt as a win/loss result could have had a direct bearing on finishing 2nd or 4th.

Wouldn't mind some Monday friendlies for my affiliates: Mint Julep and the Economists.

Don't mind mismatches. Just after the sweet, sweet IGT.

Edit: Economists have a game thanks to razorbladeYfronts. Still after a game for Mint Julep.

Edit: All done.

C.A. Banfield are already up as your friendly for Mint Julep.

Opps

Nice, a future Japan superstar scores on his debut against the Economists!

Can't stop the 134kg Kimiyama train.

It's a shame the final isn't being played at Joll Park as it would be a real homecoming Sid Wylam/ would give me a chance of getting within 20 points.

I'm sure he will enjoy putting on a show and most likely scoring more individual points than my team total.
