when it was discovered certain teams were seen to be catching the STH of the most developed teams preventative measures were taken to ensure that the catching group would be delayed in their pursuit. Although the STH increase at the end of last season started to balance out the artificially injected supporters some teams had previously received (including myself!) we were not penalised and dedcuted the extra STH we shouldnt of actually been given. Instead, the teams with the largest STH will only come down slowly to the more accurate level over the coming seasons whilst those building up theirs will do so at a reduced speed.
I'm happy I am tapping into some of that at the moment... but if I was deducted the STH i shouldnt have been entitled to that wouldve been around 200 or so. Based on what a rival club of mine has that hasnt won a league. For some this figure is likely to be closer to 1500. Now work out how much revenue this would lose you if these people never showed (then exaggerate for games when youve just lost) AMAZING isnt it!
End result - HUGE $$$ bonus to those who won I.1 titles under the old formula. I would estimate on a 17,500 stadium this could be the difference between 50-100k per week EASILY... add in a decent cup run or qualification to BB3 then multiply by 3-4 seasons that it will now take to get the same increase in STH and thats a lot of extra dough.
The rich get richer baby - thats just way of the world...
