Hotshots Leave StJohn!

Looking at the team they just look jaded, we managed to get firmly in the top 100 had few very entertaining seasons (five in total) but it's time to move on.

I could just have waited some more as the stadium was just about to be paid off but it would have gone like this:-

Casual Premier League, 15th, 10th, 8th, 7th, 6th, 5th.

Maybe I could have done it faster but the reality is we'd be battling for £50k a season prize money.

Maybe it's my fault I sure did the stadium wrong. Did a forum post the other day:-

If I were starting again I'd go like this.

Season One: OnexOne Tier Aziendale Type 1 with Exclusiv / De Lusso
Season Two: TwoxTwo Tier Aziendale Type 2
Season Three / Four: OnexTwo Tier Ospitalia Type 2

If you fill that with Exculsiv Corp Boxes and mid range seats Disagio (or Discos as I call them) you should have a stadium that you can fill easily at 3.1/2 star and generate around £200k a day. At 4star it will do around £220k.

Much later you can build a Three Tier Mercantile on the One Tier Spot but only do that when your really well established.

Why?

The Aziendale comes with Ad Boards this always generates income.
The One Tier Type 1 has a very small provision for a corp box (exclusiv holds 80) and even low rep you can get 80 corp fans.
The Two Tiers takes around 10 days to build and boxes 10 days, Three Tiers are 20days each so 40 days before you see some return.
If you go for a Three Tier and put a corp box in it's a killer £4m, you can time it much better with the two tiers.

Total Cost around £16m pay it over 56 days time it right so every seat is filled once built and rep on the rise should only cost you £8m.

The Three Tier I built in StJohn really froze the team in Season 4, not having any youths come through meant I was forced to bargain hunt replacing players that were getting on a bit.

It's great world though really enjoyed the ride, TBag & Co are a good crack and the mods keep on top of things.
