Club turning Professional

I'm in my 2nd season with AFC Wimbledon in the Blue Square Premier (after promotion). However, the club status is Semi-Pro and all but 3 of my players are on part time contracts. How does the team turn Pro? What affects it?

I remember there being problems with past versions, that clubs couldn't change.

Any helpful replies appreciated. Thanks

Promotion to League 2 will see you turn professional.

or having loads of money

I had this problem with AFC Wimbledon, but it will happen after you get promoted. Although it took me about 20 years to get the board to build a new stadium. Even then they only built a 15,000 capacity so it didn't really help the finances in the big league!!

its based on reputation, going into League 2 will take over the reputation needed.

sometimes you will also reach the reputation needed while still in the BSP, although you would need to be quite successful.

That's a bit of a worry as I aim to take them all the way to the Premier League. I hope I have an easier time getting a new stadium. I'm a long way of that though! Sat in 10th in the Conference.
