Thanks

1 - VIPs are essential. Get a sponsor first, then spend all your money on VIP seats (just not the side that already has seats as it will be shut for the 2 week building period)

2 - Friendly and cup cash is split 50/50, the home side gets it all in League games (friendly tickets cost half as much as normal games)

3 - League games will sell out until you get to about 40,000 seats in Div V (by the time your ground is that size you should really be promoted)

4 - Sponsorship will sort you out at the beginning so don't worry. Just don't buy too many players and CHECK THEIR SALARY BEFORE YOU PUT IN A BID
