🔵ATTENDANCE & STADIUM CAPACITY

There are two parts to attendance numbers for a club.

1) Each club has a fan base set for the season. During the season if a club is mid table in the league then that number of fans will attend the home games. If it is top of the league, its attendance will be that number + 30% of the fan base. If the club is bottom of the league then the opposite happens and the attendance is 30% lower than the fan base. As you go from the middle to the top or middle to the bottom, the attendance change goes from 0 to 30% in a predictable way.

2) At the start of each season, the fan base is calculated for each club. If the club is in the division that it started in then it uses the fan base that the club started the first season with. If the club has been promoted to a higher division its fan base will increase each season until it reaches what the average fan base of that league was at the start of the first season. The excpetion to this is when the clubs starting fan base is greater than the league average fan base, in which case it will still use its club starting fan base. The opposite happens when relegated.

With a higher attendance, your clubs income will increase and you can improve your squad.

If your stadium is not big enough to accommodate higher attendance numbers, the capacity will get increased each season to accommodate the fans. After your stadium capacity has increased, it won't decrease again. Your ground maintenance costs are dependent on your attendance, not on your stadium capacity.
