Yeah mine didn't go up much at all, maybe 30k. Shaka only went up 20k which is 20k less than I expected. I'll still struggle with revenue now that I'm in Div 8 FC. Will have to start shooting up the Div's. At least I have 6m+, hopefully I can pul ome good YP and not have to spend it, otherwise I'll go for a 17yo bat and bowl. Maybe even an all-rounder. Was a poor move selling Dickinson and buying Warner, but oh well.

You live, you learn, something something, you learn, you cry, you learn, you learnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

Mis-calculated what it would be, 440k is the final number. Will be interesting to see if I can stay afloat, need a long run of home games in the cup.

Ground capacity is now upto 52k but that still isn't enough to pay that wage bill. Hopefully I can get the odd person into the NT sqauds to save some cash.

I never paid my interest to experience in BT, as I have never had any players with experience. But I was just looking at my 6th bowler and No 8 batsmen and I was just wondering which players you though were better.

Pulled this guy last night, how close is he to resp? Will train him anyway though. This is good, as I can now hopefully keep most of my money.

EDIT: Not even close to resp.

Got a trainee early. May have overpaid, but he's a destructive RF bowler.

So pumped for this season.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I'm also pumped but jeez I've got a ****fight of a start to the season.

17/02/2009 00:30 (First Class) GDJ Jaguars v Central Districts (Should be an easy win)
20/02/2009 00:30 (OD League) Aristo Aristocrats v Central Districts (Holy crap I'm in serious trouble, will be a full-strength GFI)
24/02/2009 00:30 (First Class) Central Districts v Delsquidlys (Div.III OD side, will need to play full strength)
27/02/2009 00:30 (OD League) Central Districts v fletchers11 (Another full-strength GFI, only beaten them once in 4 meetings.)
03/03/2009 00:30 (BT20) Central Districts v Rods Rebels (easy win)
04/03/2009 07:30 (BT20) Ninja 11 v Central Districts (God dammit SAF Div.III FC, IV OD. Should win but it won't be easy, will need to be full-strength again)
05/03/2009 00:30 (BT20) Central Districts v United Glory (another easy win)

Welcome to the family bro.

 

[Nate]

How much?

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

3.3

 

[Johnners]

That's a steal imo, especially considering Resp batsmen/bowler alone are going for close to the same price.
