docklanders Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I have got Wycombe up to the championship from League 2 relegation scrappers, we will most likely go up next season (not the current one) we are constantly selling out our stadium of 14000 seater, and we need to expand, however the council are always denying us, is there a way to build a new stadium? Where would i find this? Cheers All Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

docklanders Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 yes, i have done several times, my only chance is an ultimatum, i tried last night as an experiment but was rejected, so i quit the game without saving Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

small Mac Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Don't use an ultimatum, it will make no difference to getting a new stadium. The only thing you can do is ensure you're finances are healthy and that the stadium is consistently full. Then it is just a matter of luck and waiting.

9sublime Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I'm a Wycombe fan and I've had the same problem. Within 5 seasons I had Wycombe in the Championship, and in our first season there we ended up just missing out on promotion with a 10,000 seater stadium (some of it standing actually). The next season we were sat 2nd from bottom well over halfway through so I resigned, devestated . it is certainly a problem that clubs dont have the ability to improve a stadium very quickly in the game, but i imagine the same would happen in real life if wycombe went up two leagues in as many seasons or so (assuming we didn't have wasps pestering us for a new stadium as it is).

small Mac Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 sorry i'm a bit slow, we're still talking Wycombe right? I hope so! Well it sounds like you're in a good position to get a new stadium but in FM09 it seems to be more difficult than ever to get expansions. I guess its more realistic but it makes the game alot harder when playing as a lower league team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
docklanders Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 yeah, its a shame, im currently top of the championship at the moment closing in on christmas, i've just rejected newcastle and sampdoria, the board are pleased, but the council still wont budge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Äktsjon Männ Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I got a new stadium in my game after getting the bank balance up to around £100m. Didn't actually need one since they replaced an expandable 30,000 capacity stadium with a 40,000 one. One with a silly name as well. Plus they took a £40m bank loan which could have been avoided because the club still had that money left in the bank. But then on previous games I've had loads of money and council blocking expansions but no new stadium. So I guess it's simply down to luck as well.

Smallen Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Good luck with that docklanders I tried forever to get a new stadium for Newcastle, my balance was over £200 million. I'd sold all my best players and my first team was full of regens with the exception of Messi and a couple of others. Council stopped expansion at 60,000. I just lost hope and started buying players again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazorLOFC Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 having the same problem with Orient in the championship, I am getting an average of 9000 from a stadium of 9230 but the board won't expand, hopefully when my balance increases they will Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cemthetriton Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 All I have to say is boo-freaking-hoo...Haha, seriously though, I'm with Bishop's Stortford in the Championship, 2014/2015, and my stadium expansion has been blocked by the council since day one. Consequently, I'm stuck at a 4000 (250 seated) capacity "stadium," if you can even call it that, with nowhere to expand to, and I am hemorrhaging ~200k/month of the decent reserve I had built up, because I can't support my miserly 50k/week wage budget. Cup runs with lucky away draws against Man Utd, Liverpool, Derby, and S'oton the past 4 years have me just barely in the black, but it's a struggle to say the least. The challenge was realistic in the Conference and even in League 2, but at least expansion should be possible, otherwise I will be forever stuck in the pitiful chain of not being able to raise enough money to support the wages, so I need to expand the stadium when I do get some money from a cup run, but I can't expand the stadium because the board won't allow it. Welcome to football purgatory. Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwfan Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Wycombe are unlikely to get a new stadium as the current one was built with expansion in mind. It supposedly absurdly easy for it to be expanded in real life. I'm managing Wycombe and am up to a 14,000 all-seater, with all expansions taking hardly any time, so I assume it has been modelled on reality. The limit for Wycombe will be support base. Given the lack of other clubs in the immediate vicinity and a reasonably high local population, it should extend to a decent figure, although not huge. Wycombe will also be comepting for support with bigger clubs in North London, so Arsenal and Spurs will, quite realistically, drain the support base. Once your reputation begins to match theirs, support levels will increase. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
docklanders Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 well ive just sealed promotion to the premiership with Wycombe, top of the championship, i'll give most of me credit for Giggs, inspiring team talks, yet when i do them we somehow get worse! Board have started increasing my stadium capacity up to i think its 15000 or something, i'll check tomorrow, but to be fair thats not enough for a premiership club, and why am i not a legend! I've done more than Franco Di Santo has, and i only signed him a year ago and he was injured for 4 months! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonno Wilson Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Some people on here have said they saved up £100m in their balance before getting a new stadium, some say they saved up £380m some say £500m I personally am Southport FC, In the Prem, In the Champions League, got a 20,000 stadium and wont expand. I am waiting patiently for a new stadium but looks like I will need a lot more money! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
