It doesn't actually say that.
It gives details of the formula for calculating the percentage of your overall capacity that would be likely to attend each game. But doesn't say how that attendance would be split across the three seating categories.

Three other things I wondered:
1) Bad weather has an effect on attendance - by being in the UK, where it rains often (in real life and in the game), aren't we worse off than those in, say Spain?
2) Those in the top division have a huge advantage, as every division below gets an automatic attendance drop.
3) Once you move down the leagues, and reduce potential attendance by 10% each league, I feel the minimum set is too low. The examples used in the rules are 60,000 capacity with the factor reducing potential attendance to 6,000 (before other factors are applied). Even the crappest of teams are going to get more than 10% of their stadium filled. They wouldn't have a 60,000 seat stadium if they only had 6,000 fans.
Yet likewise, if they were in division 10 with 6,000 fans, they wouldn't be allowed to build a stadium with 60,000 capacity. They'd have to grow gradually over a sustained period of years as the team's brand grew.



I am almost sure, that it is irrelevant whether the country we are playing in is in the middle of the Sahara or Norway. The weather is absolutely random.

It seems to me, that the developers selected stadium expansion as the primary possibility of accumulating wealth and growing fast in this game.
I agree, that it is rather unrealistic.
An alternative would be to determine the attendance as a function of fanbase, where fanbase is a gradually increasing number of club supporters.

#1 - Tough luck. You are more than welcome to moev to Spain

#2 - We have gone over the whole issue of 'people signing up early get the higher divisions' already.

#3 - None of us are going to have a 60,000 stadium any time soon. On a serious note, I'm sure that this was just a random variable that was chosen. The Development Team on this site is a good one, and you should stand behind them!

EDIT: In response to Janos, this is not Charazay or any other site. Sure, it is a good idea, but please remember this a Beta season.

I see. Probably, I should have raised this idea in the Suggestions topic.

I currently have 1700 seats in my stadium but want to open a team store to get some more income before I add more seats
