Les Girondins Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Djurgardens IF has a stadium capacity of 13800 (all seater) Yet my average attendance is 15385 ...? How is that possible? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Girondins Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 Are you having your stadium expanded at the moment? No .. I asked but its a national bloody monument (built 1912 and Djurgarden is a national park) and the reply was a categorical no. Which again bugged me because IRL they are looking at removing the running pitch and trippling the capacity. When the other 'big' teams in the league have 45000 all seater stadiums, you'd think the local council would accept something needed to be ironed out to keep the club competative. Ho hum.

Jirki88 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I guess it could be boosted if the games vs AIK and Hammarby on Råsunda counts, they usually fill out there, and it's much larger than Stockholms Stadion? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kopitelewis Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 are you charging people who walk near the stadium at the moment? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRL they're looking to remove them, but there's no fortune so far. Culturemarked and that crap. They're looking for places to build a brand new arena too.

Andy Macca Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 The average attendences are higher because they play the derbies against the other teams from Stockholm (AIK and Hammarby) on the national stadium Råsunda which has a capacity of 34000.

Les Girondins Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hmm the attendances in the entire allsvenskan league appear to be broken .. Check this out: That doesn't really make any sense? AIK have a 37000 all seater Malmo have 24000 Hammarby 16000 Elfsborg have 16000 also ... Yet the average attendences are all very close. With mine being higher than the actual number of seats and the big clubs drawing only 50% capacity in contrast to the minnows who are 75% full every game. Weird!

Jirki88/Andy: Ahah! Yes. I checked the match info and it is indeed Rasunda. Attendance at the last match was 36500 .. Explains it. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilsson Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 The attendances are about the same as in real life, and your original question is already answered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With mine being higher than the actual number of seats and the big clubs drawing only 50% capacity in contrast to the minnows who are 75% full every game. Weird! No it's correct. Here's the real averege attendences for this season. AIK 15 535 MAlmö 11 182 Hammarby 11 144 Helsingborg 10 497 Djurgården 10 168 Just because AIK has a stadium that can hold 36 000 that doesn't mean they sell it out every game. The smaller clubs in Sweden has smaller stadiums and that is why they more often sell out their stadiums.

phnompenhandy Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 This specific issue has been resolved by Andy, but I have noticed a curious feature. When I check in savegame editors I often see the database has maximum attendances set higher than stadium capacity. Wonder why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbokav1971 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 andy. Does that relate to the upper limit that the stadium can be expanded to without planning objection or something like that? I have heard this mentioned in the past but can't remember the answer. Sorry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the edge Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 This specific issue has been resolved by Andy, but I have noticed a curious feature. When I check in savegame editors I often see the database has maximum attendances set higher than stadium capacity. Wonder why. From what I know, the maximum attendance is a number used to describe how many people a club could potentially attract to their games. So very roughly said, if you have a 5000 seat stadium with a maximum attendance of 5000, don't expect your board to give you a stadium expansion... However I've heard that this figure can change over time, maybe after a period of success, e.g. a BSP team made it all the way to Premier League and thus, not only does their average attendance increase but the amount of potential (max att) followers as well.
