Bradmonk Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Anyone got any idea on how to attract more fans to games, other than winning of course? Playing as Havant and Waterlooville and managed to get them into League 2 within four seasons, but my attendances never really seem to get anywhere. (1200 - 1500) and teams in lower league placing / lower divisions and can be getting averages of 3000+ . I know location and the size of the town/city comes into play, but surely there's something I can do?? I always see "TEAM X's board have chosen your game as a fans day to attract more fans to the club" Why won't my club ever do this?! (sack the chairman!) It's annoying as I'm having to rely on the LC and FAC to fund my players wages. Luckily was drawn away to WHU in the first round of LC which resulted in me earning nearly £300k Would be very grateful if anyone could shed some light on this...

Johnyboy Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 well fans arennt an integral part of the game to be honest.i personally would like to see more input for ticket prices and fans.Try asking the chairman about expanding the gorund and you can do this by going the board option Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopper99 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 It's all about reputation, and in part the size of the area or city you play in. The best thing you can do to attract more fans is to simply improve steadily. Quick successive promotions won't always mean a jump in reputation, but if you avoid relegation after a promotion and continue to progress your reputation will catch up and you'll attract more fans.

Mike7077 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I know you said apart from winning, but winning is the best way. The more you win, the more people will want to come and watch. Getting promoted will help even more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnyboy Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 yeah so if you can get havant further up a division i.e league 1 then its likely you can expand your gorund Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomis07 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Probably best to hold off on expanding the stadium, until he's filling his current stadium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopper99 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Especially if he's already struggling to cover his players wages. The last thing he needs is a massive loan for a stadium expansion or the board spending what little money he has. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnyboy Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 yes exactly so once you get promoted your reputation will improve which will eventaully to expanding the staduim to capacitate for more fans hope this helps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
