Nice to see i'm in the Goldilocks zone. I am in the midst of expansion though up to 26,590 as I think I have been losing money with over 3000 fans. Interesting to look at that comparison though thanks Bren.

Are your fans just as obese as your players and therefore require a separate seat for each arse cheek? It would make sense that the 19900 capacity is for Fellas supporters but 40k for all other clubs Razz

Well as much as the boys like their KFC I think you will find they are just big boned! tongue

The player that's been with me the longest is one of my bench players. He was the first player I promoted from the youth academy (came out with 10k CSR -- 84k now) and I've never really seen a reason to get rid of him. He mainly just acts as fodder yet has managed to rack up 300+ caps for the club (plus somehow a couple of conversions and penalties).

He's 29 now so I imagine his time with the club is almost over.

Random note: my team is now ranked #49 in NZ after league action yesterday. This is the first time in the top 50! Yay!

Yeah, I had George Tarapu who I retired at the start of last season who was my primary kicker from when I pulled him until about 3 seasons ago when John Roland took over the kicking duties. I think he would have got around 8000 points or so, especially because he was one of my major try scorers too.

My one and only goal, win my league and finally promote up to division 1. I've just missed out on auto promotion the last 2 seasons and only just missed out through qualifiers

Doesn't all the bot players come up on the TM today? None are up yet.

Aius just can't get enough of those cheap old great players.
You don't want to follow his lead Rob?

by robelix Thu Oct 08, 2015 2:09 pm

Old and cheap...sounds more like chewys game style... though as usual i am on the lookout for some good buys

by chewy Thu Oct 08, 2015 10:21 pm

Haha yea. Well when you broke, you gotta get what you can Wink

Quad nations cup. The organiser needs one more entry from NZ to set up fixtures for next season.

and I reckon I could expand it more again and keep filling it up (mood is at cheery only)

This calls for a good discussion about what the best stadium percentages are I think.

I have a 33k stadium and just fell short of selling it out making 433k.

I am training an NZ U20, Blair Walsh. I wanted to train him all way up for Senior team but I have other commitments for S30 so if is any interest to train him further after this season U20 WC I can put him on tm on minimum price.

by aius Sun Oct 18, 2015 11:39 am

Every player I try and buy I get out bid by one more bid when I have no more money no matter how much I have at the time. I need a front rower and a loosie

A 30,625 capacity crowd gave me a $395k profit.... but i've never optimised with getting rid of the standing... just dont expand that anymore.

Getting rid of standing is an old thing mate, the devs changed it. Want to have it close to 20% these days I think.

by cheekymonkey Wed Oct 21, 2015 3:48 pm

Well that's good then! ... from memory it's about 5500, so under the 20% mark but not far off.

by Brentton Wed Oct 21, 2015 4:03 pm

Your stadium looks a bit out of sorts to me cheeky

by Brentton Wed Oct 21, 2015 4:08 pm

I dk how many members you have but your stadium is:

Standing: 19 (21-22)
Uncovered: 40 (35-37)
Covered: 32 (31-33)
Members: 7 (8%)
Corporate: 0.75 (1)

In brackets is the percentages I would recommend.

I think saying out of sorts sounds harsh, I just meant can possibly be improved. You and Rob seem to have a lot of uncovered seats and are selling them out still compared to me. I wonder if I should expand mine more...

by gimping Wed Oct 21, 2015 6:00 pm

Is there any way of seeing if I am the most overrated team in the world atm? currently sitting 336th in the world with the misely top 15 csr of 170K Surprised

by Brentton Wed Oct 21, 2015 6:13 pm

The guy in 327th has 180k

It's a great effort though, not overrated! Good management! Wink

Along with sparky I could claim to be doing quite well too ranked 35th on 249k around a whole lot of 300K+ teams.

.

Interestingly I upgraded stadium yesterday (all done by rough guestimates) and I ended up with this...

Standing 5850 (17.53%)
Uncovered 13545 (40.58%)
Covered 11000 (32.96%)
Members 2700 (8.09%)
Corporate 280 (0.84%)
Total 33375

I've got about 3700 members, so a small additon next season of...

Standing 2000
Covered 500
Members 1000
Corporate 90

....will bring me back into line!

by Brentton Thu Oct 22, 2015 9:42 am

Should be interesting to see if you can fill up 33k with 3700 members.

Why do you need 1000 more member seats? Your member seating is bang on!

haha - a typo... I meant to type 100 members seats

adding 1000 members seats wouldn't be a small upgrade, it'd cost a bomb!
