Default Question on raising reputations

Hey all,

I am playing a game with Accrington Stanley and managed to get promoted to LL1 and I have noticed that my reputation for teh club is Regional. How can i check what the reputation is "under the hood" . Am curious to see if I have raised it at all. I do have WWSM also fyi.

2. Despite my pretty good performance last season, in terms of ending up 9th in the league when i was suppose to be relegated my season sales are not going too well. I think I have sold 400 so far. What can I do to help push this number up. During this summer I have been playing Premier league teams and losing all of them....most of the games have been a 3-1 or 2-0 or even 4-1 scorelines. Does this have an effect on ticket sales? Should i just do my best, hope for a run and go from there?

I guess am asking these questions because I really want a stadium expansion. I have not sold out the stadium yet, even though its a pretty small one 5075 with 1200 seated. Last season near the end I was getting up to the high 5050's ; but no sellout. Even when i was making my run to the top. Any advice?

In addition my long term sucess to be honest is ties up to a larger stadium. I have managed to recruit a decent amount of folks but, they are usually on 2 year contracts. The only thing that has saved me financially is that i have managed to do some devent runs in the Paint tournament and did a decent run in the FA cup.

Anyway, any advice would be most useful. Otherwise it's been a fun game.

Oh another thing my young DC starlet who is the heart of my defense wants out. He asks for a transfer request nonstop during the offseason. Only good sign is i have him locked up for the next 3 years. He is the rock for my defense.

It says his value is 190K (pounds); but I am loathe to sell him. I just think i need him...and also i dont want to see him for that cheap. Maybe 5 mill..i dont know. kind of annoying.

Well congratulations on your success! At least you are not complaining about the amount of games you lost points in because the opposition scored from their one chance

I try to pick up starlets and sell them for as much profit as possible. I'm Harrogate Town in L1 and we look like we might make the Play Offs this year. But my captain wants out so I'll sell him and cope! I just try to make sure I can get a decent player on loan if I lose him mid season!

My stadium has been increased from 3500 to 6500 and is filled out every week. I expect it will increase again but I make no money over the season other than with FA cup runs. Vital I make the 3rd round every year! I also sell players, I have to but try to find stars from the lower Welsh and Irish leagues. It is a little gold mine at the moment!

Thanks Nexus...

Yeah you are right I should look at the positives here....and I am going to.

Good to know that I will be surviving off of the cup runs. That actually pus more of an emphasis on them for me. And I will do my utmost to do my best in them from now on. The cash bonus is nice when playing at a premiere leagues stadium...nice, healthy cash infusion.

It wont be critical if I lost him, well it will hurt, and I am not sure how things will turn out. I have gotten lucky in the last 3 years in the fact i have been able to find a couple of players from the transfer wire to help the team out. Well off to scour the lower leagues for starlets.

Oh am having a great time with the game...it's been an absolute blast. It has that 1 more turn spell attached to it...or rather...oh 1 more thing to look up. I like digging for information personally...so this game fits me to a T.

Just because you got your player locked up on a contract doesn't mean you get to keep him or chose the price to sell him at. If someone wants him and puts in a bid that is a good one for a club of your size the chairman might decide to sell.

They have actually been pretty good so far in terms of letting me do what i want to do. Our finances are ok atm...have about 700K in the kitty, and about 12K room on the wage budget. So i have things under control financially. However, am looking for a replacement DC right now. Let's see what happens.
