climbatise Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Im Nottingham Forest in the Championship and i've just played newly promoted Crawley town away. I noticed the attendance was only 120 :confused: Why is this? This is not very realistic at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
podunkboy Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I'm playing Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic in the Scottish Premier league after series of promotions, and even though we're playing in a borrowed stadium while the home field is being upgraded, home attendance is sometimes in the low 100's. We did play a "home game" against Rangers that drew 10,000, but the fan base hasn't caught up with the team quite yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlobben Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 120 is too low for Championship, even for a newly promoted team. Maybe their stadium was being rebuilt and had reduced capacity? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRL88 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 After reading I thought what vlobben posted. Not sure on Crawley's stadium at all to be honest, but I would suspect that they are either redeveloping, and maybe (not certain on this) but they have to have an all seater in the Championship so they cant use the terraces?

hugo_rune Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Yeah clearly their stadium isn't up to scratch. Surprised that the game didn't put them in a different stadium while theirs was redeveloped though (that's what's happening for me in my game where I was just promoted to Championship level).

climbatise Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 They were redeveloping as they now are getting crowds of 4,000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only after three seasons for clubs newly promoted to the Championship. Before then they can use existing terracing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Not in FM though, for some reason the game does not recognise the 3 year rule & insists on terracing being converted to seating immediately, it's something I've raised as a bug in the last few versions of FM.

Nobby_McDonald Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I'm playing FM11 bud, and with Newcastle Town in my third season in the Championship, we are not yet all seated, but can use the full capacity. The board have been converting terracing to seating but haven't done the whole ground yet. This is using Uncle Ron's level 8 database. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
