Tele Santana Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Hey lads, I have a question. I'm managing Lokomotiv Moscow in the Russian League which is a mid-to-top team, not as powerful as CSKA, Zenith and Spartak and right there with Dinamo Moscow, FC Moscow, Rubin, etc. So, I am having a wonderful season, sitting on top of the table, and then my board decided to call a Fan Day for a home match against city rivals FC Moscow, who are doing reasonably well at 5th. I won the match 2-0 and had the game under control most of the time. There was a crowd of 28k plus which literally fulfilled the stadium. Fun match to play, fun match to watch, fans confidence was good and they were delighted with the result. And then I find the following message in my Inbox: Unfortunately the match experience was somewhat of a dissapointment and the board are unsure if the event will help boost attendances on the long run. I'm sorry for asking, but... ...what do I need to do to get a positive feedback from a fan day? Am I missing something here? Cheers, Tele Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cityull Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I have had the same thing, I really don't know what makes them a success you win and get loadsa fans there and yet you fail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bababui Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 There was a crowd of 28k plus which literally fulfilled the stadium. The match should have tried to fulfill the crown rather than the stadium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimmoMC Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Maybe more of an exciting game. I remember I had one and the score was like 4-2 and the fan day was a success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tele Santana Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 SimmoMC, Next time I'll try to let my rival get 2 goals up and then comeback in style. Perhaps that way, it will be a success, and not controlling the game against a city rival and winning showcasing a superior standard of play hehe (/ironic mode on). :-) Well, I wasn't the one to ask for a fan day, but it's pretty ridiculous that I win a derby well and still the event is somewhat of a dissapointment...

bardock Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Maybe more of an exciting game. I remember I had one and the score was like 4-2 and the fan day was a success. Same here but my match ended 4-3 with our 4th being scored in the 93rd minute. I would've been ticked off had that fan day been labelled "disappointing". I guess you need to have a high scoring game for it to be a success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tele Santana Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hi Captain, I understand that, but I can tell you I was pretty satisfied with the team's performance. Despite winning a derby by a comfortable margin, we had several chances thorought the game and clearly limited opposition, so it was not a *merely* efficient performance, it was a very good one. Anyways, this is something for the SI folks to think about it, if any of them read this thread. It's pretty harsh to call a good derby performance on a fan day somewhat of a disappointment.

Ranbir Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Barcelona were pretty entertaining in the final, only scored two goals! I find it entertaining when a team controls a game, that is beautiful! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tottenhamfmo7 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I never get any feedback from my club's fan day, the board just announce they are having one and the attendance is just higher than usual.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambos Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 its a bug or something, must be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swisso Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 It's the performance that counts. You can win 3-0 with 3 shots on goal and you'd still probably see a dissappointing response. Fans flock to the stadium to be entertained, so something daft like a 4-4 draw with 20 shots each would probably make them come back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
