i play in my own stadium more than half the time for NA Cup and i net 125-150 almost every time. your numbers are off. even when i first started thinking more seats was better i was still making 100k playing teams with 85k+ staduims.

We need to be misers here in our region - you have already played, and got revenue from, 4 cup games and we are yet to play our first!

Next 1/2* YP I get I'll put on the market, you pay $4M for him and I'll play a season full of friendlies anywhere y'all like!

PS - numbers may have been a little off but not that far - and sub 10,000 attendance is not uncommon either.

these seem accurate. i never actually looked into it but htose seem to be accurate. would you guys like to play us or not?

I will be involved if somone from the Aussie team can PM me to remind me to organise :p

I had 13850 at my last friendly for $237k. This is close to max - a sellout at a 13,500 stadium being ideal since all the VIP and Exec seats are used.

In my 80,000 seat stadium the same game would have netted me 13,850 / 80,000 * 237 = $41k

Sorry, but the $4M per year is important to me.

I just reluctantly turned down Rocky Solo on an invite to his excellent NA league for the same reason.

Is my math wrong? I think not since I remember getting approx $40k from friendlies in the past.
