Thanks guys. That makes sense. I'll try some things out and see what happens. Just starting to touch on the playbook so I guess is the right time to experiment while have the opportunity against the raft of BOTs in Div .2!

Next question regards challenges:

If your stadium is > f.e. 50,000 is it economically safe/sensible to start offering up matches both home and away in the 'challenge pool' for Friday and bye week friendlies? (In order to maximise the chances of getting a match-up - I have the bye round this Saturday)

Day 1 with a small stadium, I only ticked the 'away' matches option in hope of maximising income. Few weeks later with lots of construction work having taken place/ongoing if I interpret correctly my current stadium (72150) will not limit friendly income.

Would be good to have confirmation in advance so that I don't disadvantage both myself and potential match-up from the 'challenge pool' by limiting friendly income.

To be honest I do not have an answer...
Too much time since I have a fully build stadium.
Playing Friendly at home or away has not disadvantages at all, so it would be safety left ticked only the 'away' matches until your stadium will be fully build (144300).

The maximum visitors for a friendly is somewhere lower than 50.000.
If you did build your stadium as all do/did, your ration of the 3 seat types is 100/10/1 and then it should be no issue once your stadium has seats in total beyond that 50.000.
But be aware that if you di constuction work, the side(s) under construction are completely closed until the work is done, so if you schedule a match and do afterwards the construction work, the amount of seats do change, in worst case with all 4 sides under construction is is zero.

Thanks Jack6, for the precise answer.
I have never understood till now after more than two years if the attendance with a fully build stadium is a random percentage of the full stadium size, or a random percentage of the available stadium size...
I played at home against OC with a 98% repaired stadium (141414 seats available) with an attendance of ONLY 129757 people....
I am in Elite I play against one of the myth manager of RZA and I cannot have a sold out!
I wonder what should I offer to my fans.... maybe drive them to the stadium one by one...

141000?

They should have stayed home and wash their hands!

The attendance on regular league games gets lowered based on win/loss situation of the past 10 official games - including league and cups, but except friendly cups. Each loss in these 10 last games lowered the attendance by around 3%.

The attendance on Supercup Divisional/Playoff games and Champ of Champs "non Bowl" games gets lowered based on win/loss situation of the past 10 official games - including league and cups, but except friendly cups. Each loss in these 10 last games lowered the attendance by around 1%.

Supercup finals or Champ of Champs finals and League Playoff games including the Bowl are always sold out - but the Stadium Condition might decrease the number of sold tickets.

Thanks again for the responses.

Following Jack6's comprehensive answer I've felt comfortable toggling 'home' options for the 'challenge pool' to maximise chances of obtaining an automated match-up.

While he's here also big respect to Jack6 for his RZA guide which is truly invaluable as a newbie (and I'm sure useful for more veteran players to occasionally reference as well!).

Thanks. Just to mention, regular friendlies on Fridays do pull less visitors into the ranks than friendlies on regular season game spots like on bye week games.
Friday games usually have only 35.000 or less.

Great Thanks LuLuBa!
My last 10 games record is 7-3 so -9%

144300 -9% = 131313
144300 (98% repaired) = 141414 -9% = 128687

My last attendance was in between 129757
