Battrick thread, Part III

[Bluto11]

so, the Windies have supporters, but no cup draw yet. There is only an announcement about the Cup draw, like 5 days after it was supposed to happen!! and no announcement about the fact that there were no matches yesterday for the windies.

wrong... a maiden is an over in which no rusn have been conceded... period.
That is not the way they are scored in BT. BT will credit a bowler with a maiden if only byes are scored.

fine... but that's an inaccuracy they should work on.

Well, econ updates went through and I was able to make my youth pull, but somehow I can still set orders for my match of 2 days ago.

I'm really anctious about the match, not the outcome, I'm sure I won easily - but rather the attendance, I expanded for the first time and I'd like to be solvent over 2 week periods.

Beat our nemesis in the cup match on GFI. And my budding superstar went for 152 not out! This means that, against my rival, I've won two out of our last three matches, all in the final over (with one going down to the final ball).

I now have a league match this week against a really crappy team, so I'm going to TIE in an attempt to bring my fitness back up. I might also TIE next week's cup match if I'm going up against a really good team, and just bow gracefully out of the cup (which was never my main competition anyway).

Got blown out in embarassing fashion. Yuck.

Won comfortably in the Cup TIEing it. Got the second place team in the league this week and will be GFI at home. A victory here will almost ensure I win the league already.

Crushed 96degrees... bowled them out for 75 w/ my 2nd best bowler (opening the bowling) taking 5 wickets for 24 runs and then my guys got to that total in 11 overs losing my best batsman for a duck! That's going to kill his average.

Does anyone have ideas on how many PR officer's are useful at this stage?

More importantly? any idea on attendance as its related to membership size? or how about seating?

Standing obviously has the most and members area the least, but do we have a picture on a possible ratio to build to?

I recently expanded to

5000 - sold out (Standing)
2000 - sold out (Sitting)
2000 - 1391 (Covered seats)
350 - sold out (members area)

I'm thinking of expanding again sooner rather than later, but I'm unsure of how to go about doing it.

I'm thinking of doubling the members section 700, increasing covered seats to 3000 and sitting to 5000 possibly making standing 10000. Any thoughts?
