Subject: Attendance

I there any known relationship between the number of supporters & the average attendance at matches? Trying to figure out how big my stadium should be? Thanks for your help.

If the relationship is known, nobody has bothered to tell us (-: The standard line I've heard around here is, "Expand your stadium only (a) when you have spare money lying around and (b) once you're regularly filling it up."

Sokker arenas are more expensive than Hattrick stadiums. Seca calculated that it takes roughly two seasons of revenue to recover your investment, which is significantly longer than in HT. This is due to two main factors: First, arena maintenance fees are higher relative to arena income, and second, the overhead cost is 25 000 $ per section that you expand, rather than just a flat (and small) fee for the whole project in HT. One more thing to consider in Sokker is that spectators will upgrade a ticket if their preferred seating is full, which they don't do in HT; so it isn't as important to build spare capacity, but you can make more money by upgrading your seating.

Generally, training is far more profitable than arena-building. Invest in your team first, and your arena last.

Thanks. I guess until I see the first financial update am also trying to guess how much I will get from sponsors. Will just have to be a bit patient.
