I hav emanaged to get Rotherham into League 1, and am both trying to hang on up in these lofty heights and lay the foundations for a promotion challenge. Looking around the league, my facilities seem a little shabby. The youth facilities are average, the main training facilities are adequate.

I know it must vary case to case, but what sort of range do upgrades from this level cost? The Board just says no, the money is not there. Is this a $1 million expenditure, $2 million, $500k? More, less? I just dont have a sense of the scale in question.

There is no hard and fast answer. It varies from club to club. you might get a better answer in general questions though.

As Flash points out, there is no straightforward answer - other than be successful and get a lot of money into the team... at some point the stars will align and the board will make the improvements.

This post belongs in General Questions, not in LLM.

I was actually looking for an LLM style answer - didn't want a detailed breakdown of the game model, but just a 'I upgraded Havant & Waterlooville's field to Adequate for $150k'.

I find there is a gap between Board feedback ('No') and the sort of thing a LL manager would get a sense of - I said from the start I knew it would vary, I just want anecdotal accounts.

I guess from an LLM point of view - as you say - in order to make improvements your team needs to be successful and in the black. This is the first step... most of the time...

I don't pay attention to the upgrade cost, but the board does, and sometimes it backfires.

If I have money and the facilities can be improved, I request an improvement.

Apart from that I leave it all to the board. Nothing else I can do at the end of the day.

I don't think I've gotten an agreement to upgrade in anything below league 2

When I have more than around £100K in the bank and making money I start pestering the board about it. I like to make sure I get a pestering on the whole lot including stadium just before the league reset date just as my last chance for the year.

To be honest if i ever request the board for anything it's definately more money for transfers. Who cares about the future? as i'd probably been sacked before my youth players reach puberty!
