Hi,

Is there any official calculation how BB generates the season ticket holders?
I am jsut curious because over the last seasons I made it in Austrias 1st league but since my team was to weak(or the others to good ;-) I dropped right back in the 2nd league loosing an immense share of my season ticket holders.

I don't know the exact numbers of TH last season (1st League) but it were over 3500 now dropping to 1740 after relegating to 2nd league.
In my opinion I think that is far to much and it doesn't make any sense trying to get in the first league when not beeing 100% sure of staying there.
You buy better players with a higher income which you only can effort while in the 1st league
And if you don't manage to stay there you have to sell those players again because your ticketholder drop by 50% Thats far too much!

Of course they can (and should) drop but not that much that you continuously lose fans when like me swaying from 1st to 2nd league.

About two seasons ago this topic was raised by some other Italian players and I also complained about it... basically I was told: the idea is that it should not be too easy to promote back immediately... but I also think that the penalty for demotion is too big.

i think the more important comparision is, how much fans you had two seasons ago(or what is it the max. for a long time 2cd division team).

I had the same problem 2 seasons ago; you will see that under an economic point of view is 100 times better to stay in first division

Wasn't there somebody on the German forum a while ago who claimed that with such a pattern he was on a longterm downwards trend, because he lost more on relegations than he gained on promotions?

maybe but i can not believe he is right especially betwen div I and II, because the teams who aren't ready to play div one with their rooster made a lot of money each week.

So overall it is fair to say that BB is not interested in 'flyerteams' like me.

Anyway I will not be able to get back to I. league because my star players are much to expensive and my income is much to low with 4000(!!) attendees per game... I think I had thos numbers in my first seasons of BB ;)

to be honest, you ask for lower prices at this point and if you compare the cash you get you should be in a higher level and you are able to rise your income with better prices.

they are mostly intrested in a balanced competition, if you relegates to totaly dominating the lower leagues that bad for the competion in the lower league and boring for the teams who try to get up. And at least in germany, most teams who catch up in the first league, started as flyer teams so it isn't hopeless because as a week first division team you normally could make a lot of cash to prepare your next attack.
