There was a link to a site that had the ratio calculator thing? The link in my bookmarks returns an error.

Also, since the attendance figures just chop off the numbers when you run out of seats, you can work out from your un-sold out sections (standing, in your case) precisely how many other types of seats you could have sold. In your last match you had 3758 standing spectators, so using the 45:40:11:4 ratio, you could have had:

Standing: 3758
Seated: 3340
Covered: 918
Members: 334

If you're really bored, you can work out the amount of extra cash you could be making. I'm not that bored.

That's why I left my standing section "too big" for quite a while; it doesn't cost all that much extra to maintain, and gives you a very good idea when to upgrade.

Perfect YP for me. Couldn't get a more perfect one at this point in time exactly what I was looking for, YP gods be praised.

One question, does fielding count towards 'keeping?

 

[Dead Badger]

Wait, what?

In your opinion, what should I do? I'm really clueless on this.

Sorry, I was gabbling a bit. Basically the crowd turns up in (almost) precisely the following ratio: 45% standing, 40% seated, 11% covered, 4% members. The game works out the attendance depending on how popular you are, divides it by those ratios into who sits where, and then if you don't have enough of any individual seat type, those supporters just bugger off.

So your initial stadium has waaaay too much standing room, and not enough of anything else (particularly covered seats, obviously). You've sold out everything but the standing room, but you can use that number to work out what the attendances would have been if you'd had a big enough stadium. You'd have got around an 8,500 attendance at your last match if you'd had room.

Basically, if I were you I'd increase the seated, covered and members areas to something like the numbers in my post + 20% or so to allow for growth (assuming you don't expect to go on a losing spree). But I wouldn't lower the standing room to the "correct" ratio (as the stadium calculator might tell you to do). It's really cheap to maintain, and gives you a very good idea of when's the right time to upgrade.

Is that a bit clearer? I get the impression I'm not explaining it very well.

(also being as new to this as you, I may be giving completely **** advice, so one of the old hands may want to butt in...)

This has been changed, the ratios seem to vary according to the weather now.

But it still is the best system I would think?

Seeming you cannot change your ground every week according to what the weather is going to be?
