Another week of friendlies...

Frankfort United (8533)

Little over 1K in supporters, would rather not travel internationally if possible.

Bee · 10-16-2003, 09:14 AM

Why not travel for an international? As long as you go someplace where they can draw 2400+, you'll still make money and you'll get double the experience. I've gotten to where I do international friendlies exclusively. The only time I've actually lost money was last week when I forgot to schedule one and ended up accepting a challenge from a small team at the last second just to get a friendly in (even then I lost less than $1K).

DukeRulesMAB · 10-16-2003, 09:24 AM

Well, most of the teams around here aren't quite big enough yet (nor am I a big enough draw) to make up the cash, and I'm far too lazy to blanket friendly offers on foreign teams.

FrogMan · 10-16-2003, 09:32 AM

or book home and home series like I do... Unfortunately for you, I'm already booked with Masked for next week

Bee · 10-16-2003, 09:33 AM

ok, that's acceptable.

Being lazy is a good excuse in my book, if I just could get my wife to accept it. *sigh*

FrogMan · 10-16-2003, 09:33 AM

oh, and I do get more than 2400 fans on pretty much all of my home friendlies. We drew 2700+ yesterday at the South Bay Saints Stadium...

Bee · 10-16-2003, 09:41 AM

It's been so long since I played a home friendly, I have no idea how many I'd draw.

I do have about 1150 supporters, so I figure I'd do ok.

Vince · 10-16-2003, 12:21 PM

Bee - yesterday, with 1099 supporters and overcast weather, I drew 2200 something fans with a really small Mexican team coming to my place (he challenged me, too...bonus

). You could probably do about the same.

Airhog · 10-16-2003, 01:21 PM

I just go down the list of numbers, Ive had maybe 6 or 7 international teams this year.

Bee · 10-16-2003, 01:40 PM

I'm playing a European(Sweden maybe?) Division III team next week that draws about 4,000 for friendlies. They'll kill me and probably win 7-0, but that's fine with me.
