save game required ECL Stadium Rules are Ignored

[jatko26]

Our home UEFA Conference League Group matches are being played in a Stadium with below 8,000 capacity:

In the previous year, we were in the Champions League Group stage and our home games were played at the Victoria Stadium (which I believe has an exemption to capacity requirements from UEFA) which is I assume where the match against Stromsgodset should have been played:

 

As an associated sort of bug/logic fail, when plans for the stadium were drawn up in 2028 we'd played European Group Stage football in 5 (2x CL, 1x EL, 2xECL) of the previous 6 seasons, so it seems weird the board would build us a stadium that's 360 seats short of us being allowed to use it in the group stages (i.e. easily our biggest paying matches), especially when the stadium we use instead has 1/3 of the capacity! We get £20k from a full European match at the Victoria Stadium, and almost £185k from a full European match at our own place!

One other thing I just noticed.... Lions FC (another club in Gibraltar) played their UEFA Conference League 3rd Qualifying Round match at our stadium. Now the rules for that round state min stadium capacity of 4,500 which is above what the Victoria Stadium (their ground) holds, but as noted above there's an exemption for the Victoria Stadium. So I think my question is why is the Victoria Stadium not good enough for an ECL 3rd Qual Round match and Lions have to play at our place, whereas our place isn't good enough for an CL Group Stage match we have to play at the Victoria Stadium? Does that make sense??

I'm obviously aware this is perhaps a bit of a niche Gibraltar-related issue!
