You are in 7th position, so that really hurts your attendance.

How can you possibly lose money by playing a friendly??? Are there hidden travel expenses or something

The stadium cost is easy covered by the league matches, so as such a manager would never loose money on friendlies. With that said you might "loose" money if you compare a mediocre performance during a rebuilding phase between two different size stadium. The big stadium will probably not bring in as much cash as a "perfect" friendly stadium.

A "perfect" friendly stadium got all the VIP and Executive seats with a limited amount of regular seats.

This would only make sense if the team is not a contender, since a decent performance by a team will always result in more money over the season from the big stadium.

If you want to correct it, then you need to do it correctly and type 1000 seats

And if we should be really picky then we should also analyse the amount executive seats that a stadium should have to maximise the income when the attendance is limited to less than 10,000, but lets be fair that would just confuse more than being helpful

When i said i lost money, this morning i had $ 5,005,000 (about) now after my friendly i have $ 4,983,307

I didn't look at maintenance and miscellaneous expenditure before the match, but im sure about overall money going down. Do i have to pay maintenance on the day of the friendly game or not?
