[FM2010 Record Low Attendance!!!]

If your current stadium only has seating for 200 people (ergo the rest is terracing), this could be why, as the PL has to be all seated. I'm not sure if the game had the feature then where you moved to a temporary ground whilst the new one is being built. 

I think you must be right in that there are only 200 seats. I would have thought the Club would have ground shared with a local Club given that the new stadium will not be ready until next season. So, I am stuck with having attendance figures of on 200 and incurring huge loses and inevitable sales of any decent players I have. I cannot say I am impressed!

[FM2010 Record Low Attendance!!!]

It took me many years to get a non-league team Lye Town to the Premiership. After narrowly winning my opening two games (both away) and beating lower league opposition in the league cup at home (attendance 4,788) it was my first ever home game in the Premier League and against Man Utd as well. Bear in mind my ground capacity is only 5,000 (2940 season ticket holders) so you would think a total sell-out (which has been the case all last season in the Championship). Up pops this message on the news feed. Lye Town expecting record low attendance as only 200 tickets have been sold! True to for that was the actual attendance despite having more than 10 times that figure in season ticket holders and the opposition arguably the biggest draw attendance wise.

Footnote: The Club are currently building a new stadium.

So, can anyone explain what on earth is going on?
