I'm playing in ligue 1 with Red Star FC. To meet ligue 1 requirements my team rented a stadium north of Paris, and then later to meet champions league requirements we played european games (only) at another stadium.
The second stadium was larger so we bought that and developed it, but we did so after starting plans to build a new stadium.
Despite owning the larger of the two stadiums, which is eligible for ligue 1 matches, we still play our home league games in the smaller stadium miles out of paris.
The issue thus is:
* we arent using a stadium we own despite it meeting ligue 1 rules and being referred to as our stadium (our press conferences before matches are even there)
* the board wont contemplate building a new stadium because it looks like we fill 56% of what we currently have (it's always 98%+ full)
This feels like a bug. There doesnt seem to be a reason why we use a small stadium in the middle of nowhere ffor home league matches when a ligue 1 eligible stadium is owned by the club.
