90% really? So not much in the way of seniors, students, young adults, disabled/enablers or kids then?

Would be a shame if this happened, as I want him to still be in charge when we play them live on the BBC... http://www.thisisnottingham.co.uk/Cotterill-emerges-strong-contender-manager-s-job/story-13519504-detail/story.html

Well you have just lost £2m from your original business plan. You can easily chalk off a lot more!... What makes you think £20 is the average? How about all the season tickets for concessions? How about all the cheap seat season ticket holders? Are they paying £20 a game?

They are getting desperate for cash again... http://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/LatestNews/news/Pompey-v-Doncaster-Ticket-Offer-2653.aspx

Well I seem to get good players coming through the academy. Not a lot else I can do as a researcher apart from set these values for Southampton.

I'm confused, have you seen what Saints have in this area for FM12? - State of the art youth facilities (joint 1st in England on FM12) - Good junior coaching (joint 3rd in England on FM12) - Well established youth recruitment (2nd in England on FM12) Meaning they have one of the best youth set-ups in England on FM12. It has also been highly rated in previous FM's.

A betting scam?

They will find it tough to get them as both signed 3 year pro deals at Saints in December 2010, and I don't imagine Cortese will let them go easily... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2228492,00.html

Saints under 18's beat Chelsea 3-2 on 1st October 2011. They have also beaten Man Utd 4-2 this season. Here are the highlights of the Chelsea game, goals from Jake Sinclair, Luke Shaw and Calum Chambers... 2011/12 Home Saints U18s: Mowthorpe, Young, Turnbull, O'Sullivan, Gape (Rowe 58 ), Shaw, Mugabi (Colmer 37), Reed, Curtis, Ariyibi (Chambers 58 ), Sinclair. Saints actually have a very good record against Chelsea... 2010/11 Home [video=youtube;lB7FNchw-0k] Away 2009/10 Home Away 2008/09 Home No video exists Away

It was 26,237 last season for a game in League One on a Tuesday night. This season both clubs are towards the top of the Championship and it is on a Saturday afternoon.

If anyone spots any objective Saints data for players/staff/club etc that they would like changed for any patches/data updates, now is a good time to let me know! Subjective things like player stats/CA's/PA's will change in the January update.

No-one has objected to Brighton being listed as "competitive rivals" yet.

I know, and that is how I entered it. You won't have to pay it off.

The accounts for DMWSL 613 Limited show £20.4m in new loans from the shareholder. I made it non-repayable ( until shown to be otherwise) so it doesn't make a lot of difference.

What do you mean "why"? The Championship is a 24 team league, by making Saints have to overtake that of the 2nd place team rather than replacing them it makes it a 25 team league.

Because it is a 24 team league, not a 25 team league. One team is replaced by Saints and that team is the one that comes 2nd in this example.

He isn't a striker, so those are strange comparisons.

Why doesn't it? What happens? Does anything here help?... http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/276641-Football-Manager-2012-Demo-FAQ-Technical-and-STEAM-Issues

I asked the head of English research what would be the best option and that is what we decided.

- FM has 400,000+ staff in the database, FIFA doesn't even come remotely close to that. - My Saints FM file for example has around 90 different people in it, FIFA's Saints file is tiny in comparison. - FM also has many more leagues and teams than FIFA, even if they aren't playable, it is still possible to play against them. Even teams like Sholing are on FM. - FM also creates players in future seasons all over the world and these names would need to be included.

SI did have commentary for CM2 back in the mid 1990's. But it is unlikely to happen again anytime soon (if ever). Not really needed in a management game and extremely difficult to implement well. Even with the huge budgets EA give FIFA, the commentary still isn't great. Plus given FM has far more players and teams than FIFA, it would be a nightmare to implement.

Are you insane? Do you seriously think the average ticket for Fratton Park is £26? The 9,000 season ticket holders don't pay anywhere near £26 per match. Nor do many of the concessions pay £26 in the walkup (particularly the children). So when you get gates of 12,000 vs Peterborough, match-day income is tiny. Did you go to the Peter Storrie school of accounting?

Because as it is a serious long term injury not sustained in a football match and happened early in the season, it was included.

So what about Jos Hooiveld? So what about a £3.2 million bid accepted for Billy Sharp and confirmed by Adkins? So what about Steve De Ridder signing for Saints and being used mostly upfront so far? So what about Jack Cork signing for £1m and Danny Fox for £1.8m? So what about Lambert, Guly Do Prado, Connolly all in good form and Barnard close to a return? So what about a bid for Jay Rodriguez confirmed by Burnley on their website? So what about Saints scoring 25 Championship goals in 10 games and being top of the league having scored 7 more than anyone else?
