I've been thinking about how and why we receive Gate Receipts in Necom and it just doesn't make sense to me...
Defo needs to be looked at and improved IMO...
Firstly, why do attendances only float around a certain point regardless of spending millions on expanding them? Surely if you're doing well then more people would come to watch the team and the superstar players?
Secondly, how is it fair that we have to pay around 25k PER WEEK for just ONE member of staff and millions in signing on fees and wages to players but for a TOP DIVISION league game and most cup games, we only get fans paying LESS THAN £10 EACH to watch a game? It's like Necom is stuck in the 1970s when football was cheap to go and watch...
Thirdly, why do league games and cup games AT HOME not pay the same amount per fan going through the turnstile? I've noticed this disparity a few times and it is a BIG difference.
Fourthly and finally, would you agree that for a top flight club an attendance of around 40-50k is fair as long as they have the capacity and in excess of 60k is fair if they are current champions of any cup or league? I'd like to see prices and changes fixed ASAP cos I'm losing stupid amounts of money every turn with staff wages etc cos my stadium isn't as full as it could be and the wages of staff is crippling me, player wages, fair enough, we choose to pay what we pay or else they will leave but even then, to have a wage bill of over 3 mil a week and then for a 35k seated game at home I get 241k in Gate Receipts, as my only source of income except season ticket sales, cup win money and the end of season league payout, how can I survive when my supporters are paying only 7 quid a bloody ticket?
