I don't think BB staff has more insight on consequences. Haven't had in ages.

Topic opening was very good (I gave ball on that) and soon we will get some facts when first third is over and fan boycott is real. I will have both teams impacted by this new nice boycott. I will reveal my financial facts in this thread, but only with one requirement:
- lets try to keep discussion in this thread somehow relevant to fan boycott, calculations facts and figures, thoughts what ever.

It would be much more enjoyable if we could open own topics for those which you feel important (polls, personal insults who said what, communication, BB development....what ever)....problem is not number of topics currently in Global forum.

Happy new year to you all!

Yes yes, this is the kind of talent that in some people's mind should make a 0-7 team into a 1-6 team: (278359.175). Of course if you have no wins in 1 third of a season and more than the price of that player sitting in your bank, you will lose a minimum of 140% of gate receipts to a maximum of 275% (in D1 terms that's anywhere between $700k and $1.5 million lost gate receipts). If you lose all games in a season you will lose 520% to 615% before the effect goes away ($2.8 to $3.3 million)

Happy new year to you too. And Hameenlinna. And Vantaa. (have many friends living in both cities...). Cheers.

Just to add another dimension:

The fan survey become pretty absurd, when the boycott kicks in. I almost "qualified" for the penalty and my fan survey shows five balls in the "manager tries everything to make the team better" (or what it is called) categroy.

That does not make sense at all - so some kind of connection between fan survey and boycott would be better. Also some kind of "boycott-o-meter" would make sense, so we could see, how bad the team is in shape.

My BB subscription is renewed tomorrow, i payed last week, and will glady discuss for a refund of my money as i did not intended to be screwed by new rules or people telling me how to enjoy the game.


Power to the people! I am almost in the same position, although I managed to dodge the penalty for the first third of the season and will not have to renew my supporter until April.
