I'm pretty much breaking even over each season. Selling a couple of players and reaching a minor cup final have kept my bank balance healthy.

Playing with Siracusa all the way from Serie C2/C and when I got promotion from Serie B the board have decided to build a 17000 all seater called Siracusa Stadium.

Now I just have to wait 2 years to get it done.

About the financial aspect IIRC I had 3 or 4 millions dollars in the bank but they took a loan anyway.

Fair enough, cheers.

Anyone else want to share their stadium expansion stories?

GazTheDoood

I'm Gateshead got them to the Blue Square Premier so far in my second season at the club!

Just about to play Barnet in the cup

GazTheDoood

That's decent. Have you asked for a stadium upgrade at all? If so, how'd it go?

williamshankley

Funnily enough I'm in a rather fortunate position of having 11,000 seats in my stadium!

I've asked for training upgrades but nothing!

I took Barnet to a replay i would have got Bolton if i'd have got through! Could of changed my career game!

Lucky bleeeder with that stadium. I'm still stuck at about 8 or 9,000. Come on ca$h.

Ahhh, would have got some good money from that draw, hard lines.

Anybody else want to share a stadium expansion story? Someone who's got a 100,000 all seater with a covered roof for Vauxhall perhaps?

on FM 07 i got gateshead to the premiership, and the stadium only upgraded 1000 seats to 12,000 all seater from the 11,000 all seater it starts off as. Also, i dont know if its the same on 08, but on 07 you get loadsa TV money so have a healthy transfer budget in the prem even if you have crap finances...as long as they aren't to crap.
On 08 currently top of League 2 with Bath in my 3rd season.

I was about to start a thread asking the same question. I've taken Kettering from BSN to League 1. My wage budget is well below other teams, i'd hazard a guess and says its at least half theirs. BUT I'M STILL LOSING MONEY.

I've spent about 40K(Pounds) on player transfers in the last 3 seasons, so i don't spend it at all either.

I'm stuck with a 6100 seater stadium, and averaging a crowd size of 5800. Yet I STILL LOSING MONEY.

Its pretty simple really, the board forks out the cash or i will have to sell players and get relegated so i can find some cash in the lower leagues.

I wish i knew how much i needed to upgrade my stadium. Even an extra 2000 would have me making profit again.
