cheers Fluff - not a case of losing heart but when you are in it to win it its tough sometimes! I need to reshuffle my inside players so hopefully will get a reasonable draft that I can sell on to bring in some pesos. Well done to you tonight though as you have set your team up well for the transition to the EBBL - my stadium is still on the small side which makes increasing my reserves difficult but not impossible like Erkboy said though there may be another berth available in the EBBL so may have a chance through the backdoor although if it is without the $mill then it would be really difficult for me to survive. lets see what happens on my home court!

but congrats on tonight!

I look at the standard of the EBBL now and it doesn't scare me anywhere near as much as it did 3/4 seasons ago.
I think it's very possible to go up and not only survive but push for the playoffs. Look at Los Miks...

The problem is getting there. Teams in Div 2 are improving fast - Wrose just bought a $1m SF, that must push them closer to challenging next year.

Yea erkboy couldn't agree more , I think we are in a tough division though one of probably 5 or 6 teams could do okay in the ebbl but its getting there , fluff bought Vigo but with his salary of $100k+ he would have probably struggledwith salary if he didn't promote! I m going to look at strengthening if possible bit will have to cull some of my veterans!

im not as scared either of the ebl but mainly because a lot of the top teams have gone bot and the teams that have gone up in their place are still making a transition to real EBL level. in fact when there are so many teams going up there is less incentive perhaps to strive ahead of the others that come up with you and when the teams that have been there forever are so untouchable.
i think that will change though as sooner or later there will be an "arms" rush at the bottom leaving the slowest/worse teams to fight to avoid relegation.
unforutnately ive been so busy i havent even looked at either side of the EBL to see who's there or even who might be going up from the other divisions.
i think everyone who is promoted gets the £1m but if you are bot promoted i heard that you dont get the big season ticket holder boost.

also you say your arena is holding you back compared to me, i realised once i put the investment in that im not actually making that much more than a team with a smaller arena and higher prices. its almost like there is a £ revenue cap at our level provided you can optimise your price for your arena whatever size it is. the good thing for me is i have made that investment so should i promote ill instantly be able to benefit from more ticketholders, providing i can get the pricing right quickly...
and ill be able to spend the £1m on a player rather than growing my arena.

I got bot promoted to division 2 and i still got the 300k bonus
