i think those prices seem bout right for a relegated ABBL team, dont really know how hard ur finances will be hit following relegation i suppose so wont know for sure till it happens

Just looking at this seasons relegated teams they seem about right given the volumes of seats I have

Perhaps 10 for the bleachers instead of 11

Will have to get used to surviving on less than 460 to 500K gates and 199K TV

Whats the average gate, tv and merch like back in div 2?

Ii wouldnt go as low as 11 for the bleachers, I lost a LOT of money this season early on having my tickets too low. Of course I didnt relegate from ABBL but I havent managed too many wins this season and prices are higher than those you are listing.

Your team would have got a boost in fan survey (satisfaction at the teams previous season) because it come up from div 3 where as mine will take a hit with fans dissapointed that the team got relegated from the ABBL

If you spend next season in div 2 then I reckon you'd be battling to fill the volume of seats you have at your current prices

Ta mate

Seems a waste I know but when I get some cash I might spend 660K finishing my stadium so that its done

Will be a long haul to get back to the ABBL

In retrospect I should have dogged the whole season and stashed lots of cash

You guys should get a petition happenning to get me back into div 2.3

My team is going to be easy pickings as compared to some of the other teams that will come down

Cash wise my teams going to be a in a lot worse state than what it was a season ago (after the allstars game) but I have gained a lot of experience and hopefully patience (and a bigger stadium)

yeah who do i have to petition to get u bak here hahah

well my only goal in making the ABBL is to dog it and hoard as much cash as possible while training up some young guns and getting auto relegated to get the 1st pick lol

and just like his short stint in the NT, as long as smeltz gets to play 1 season in the ABBL, that'll do me

Potentially your plan is worth around 6 mill.

3 to 4 mill could be saved by dogging it

another 1 to 2 mill from training up some young players and selling them

and for argument sake we'll say the top draft pick in the ABBL is worth a mill.

Ive left it too late, but I have now just boosted my scouting and slashed my staff and in a couple of weeks will sell off a couple of players to take my players salaries back down to the base.

6 mill would certainly give your team enough of a boost to be able to bounce back up again

In retrospect I wish Id done that, instead I'll be struggling to be competitive back in div 2 next season, but given that I was only a couple of hours away from becoming bankrupt at the end of last season I shouldnt complain too much

I think the aim needs to be to develop a team that is good enough to promote and then stay up. That is what Whitebeard and MonkeyBiz did. They had basically the team they needed when they were promoted. Well rounded and cost eficient players. Just add one or two more with the promotion money and playoff windfall and there they are with an ABBL level team.

I think it would be possible to tank and relegate/spend massively and promote on a two-three season rotation forever. Maybe that is a god idea it that is all you aspire to. If you want to make the ABBL and stay then perhaps you need a diferent model.

I got secrewd this week. Lazio@ forget to set his lineup. It happens. But everyone else recently got to flog him by 75 and I get just +25 as well as it wrecked my minutes for my training, I had set both PG and SG for 48+ as it looked like an easy game. Doh! Someone is missing out on training this week!
