You just have to remember what they were like before. No other way.

Pity about FC though, I came home today from exams pretty interested to see how I went. It messes up my fitness plan for the cup; will now have to lose the cup match to win this FC game, I think. Don't suppose anyone who was watching earlier thought to look at how the Pones were going before it got called off?

damn was looking forward to fc

Personally I think they've made the right decision - better to have it working properly a week late than being messed up.

Booo, I got out of bed a lot earlier than I could have so I could check my FC game.

 

[AussieDominance]

damn thing is i always do that !

 

[Adamc]

Don't really mind the FC matches being delayed, I need a bit more time to get my squad sorted. The changed schedule works out pretty well for me, I've now got a couple of very easy FC games in the same weeks as two of my hardest OD matches, and I've got one of my hardest matches this Friday and of course no FC game to drain fitness before it.

Planning to buy a new bowler, bit annoying though as I've got a few bookmarked for tomorrow and I'm not likely to be near a computer during the day. Might just put a bunch of fairly high bids in and hope for the best.

Oh goody. There seems to be a bidding war for Rod Doherty.

A cautious player with strong leadership skills and worthless experience.

im thinking about saving for about the next 10-12 weeks then getting the best quality bowler i can get with that money how much should i have saved up by then im not putting anything into ITS this is what it im paying for

[Adamc]

Doesn't seem like you'll be making much. Since your ground is at the default size you won't make more than 30-40k in gate receipts once you're out of the cup (on average per week), so you're struggling to break even, let alone save up enough to buy a decent bowler. I think you'd be better off investing in the youth academy. I might be missing something obvious because it seems strange that you're not able to break even with such low expenses.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Anyone remember some of the their scores before it was delayed?

 

[AussieDominance]

FC Gates?

 

[Adamc]

FC Gates?

Yeah, assuming they're about the same as OD (but over three days) you'll only make 30-40k in gate receipts per week on average.

 

[AussieDominance]

is that assuming i have 1 home game a week or what i was thinking id make maybe 60 k in a 3 day match

 

[Adamc]

That's assuming that in a two week period, you will have on average one home OD game and one home FC game. I don't see why you'd earn more from FC matches than OD matches, it's certainly not the case IRL. I am assuming the gate receipts from each form will be roughly equivalent so that managers aren't encouraged to favour one form over the other. This may not be the case but that's what I'm basing my estimate on. In any case I would be very surprised if you make twice as much from FC than OD as you suggest.

 

[AussieDominance]

yeah does make sense in real life but in reall ife there is way more international cricket but in battrick there is a lot more league cricket

 

[AussieDominance]

Update: Allan has indeed decided to award another £50K subsidy. He is currently concentrating on analysing this mornings events so this will not be paid out immediatly, but it will be certainly awarded prior to the next economic update.

Update (2): The PFL reset to the levels prior to the FC Games has now been completed.

Don't see what that has to do with anything, but whatever. I'm just saying that it wouldn't be wise to assume you're going to be making as much money as you're suggesting.

 

[Robertinho]

Get on MSN ya maggot.

 

[AussieDominance]

i think it just means the league cricket is the main focus in battrick
