Relocation in FOF 8

[Julio Riddols]

Has anyone done this? is it still wonky? Can teams successfully relocate and thrive in a new city?

What I mean by this is to ask whether attendance and profit figures are reasonable for teams that move to new cities. I have a team that is just absolutely struggling to fill seats and garner fan support which has led to a deteriorating stadium and almost no way to improve my financial predicament, resulting in bad turf, bad parking lot, and poor placement in the staff draft. It is crippling the team and I need to know if moving is a way to improve that situation. I realize I will have to eat 5 years of huge payments, but if after that things will be good, then I want to move.

JR my issue is when one inherits a team in a long lived league that has suffered financially and is all but a hopeless cause. Like you noted, you struggle to improve but it just doesn't pan out without, IMO, a long term investment in which you don't mind some of the rich getting richer. I'm with you for the most part, thinking it just may be better to eat the cost of a new stadium after relocating then it is to continue the fight in a non-supportive market.

Yeah, the path to a turnaround in any decent MP league is quite a bit harder when a team can't make their way to the top of the staff draft. I think coaches matter quite a bit in FOF when it comes to overall success, so I just want to know whether moving is a faster path to success financially (Provided you can start winning more games) or if staying home and finding a way to win is a better path still.
