FTP: From the Pavilion general chat

[aussie1st]

Brendon what is your wages, academy investment and sponsorship values? I have $120,417, $50,000, $71,484 so essentially I start the week off losing 100k.

Iridium's 99/3 after 10 in our T20 game. Not surprisingly, my youth RF bowler has been the most expensive, but he did take a wicket which is nice. 4956 crowd, which is pretty good too, almost filled out the stadium. Skepple is going nicely for Iridium though, 62 off 37. If I can restrict him to less than 180 it would be nice

 

[Iridium]

Dang forgot to switch a few bowlers around. That's not the bowling attack I wanted. Just don't collapse....

15.4	.	Ameen to Poole : [great fielding] Poole thumps it away through midwicket, where a diving stop from Punchihewa prevents the batsmen from scoring.
15.3	2	Ameen to Poole : [misfield] An extra fielding session wouldn't go astray for Mangan next week. 2 added to the score.
15.2	3	Ameen to Colgan : [misfield] Coleman is unable to make enough ground to stop the batsmen from scoring 3.
15.1	3	Ameen to Poole : [misfield] Pushed into the covers, where it runs through, rather than past the fielder. Pathetic effort from Mohamed.

Very poor fielding by my team And your batsmen really had a go at Ring in his last over haha

 

[Iridium]

Colgan gone straight after the 50 partnership with Poole. Poole is going along nicely, 32 from 19. I reckon anything less than 190 will be disappointing.

I thought FTP fixed that. It used to happen quite often when I first started playing.

 

[Chewie]

lol all my batsmen are on aggressive which is why we're speeding along here. As expected, my youth opener didn't do too well.

 

[Iridium]

Oh crud. C'mon bowlers pull it back.

Wages: $124,112
Academy Investment: $25,000 (All in Youth)
Ground Maintenance: $10,000

Sponsorship: $85,725

 

[Iridium]

So excluding gate takings, you're getting almost -$150k. Yikes.

I reckon Chewie's got this game in the bag. Allen with 74 from 34 is rocketing the team towards the 188 run target.

 

[hedger_14]

What. -160K in expenses.

+85K in sponsorship.

That means I only need to get 75K in gate receipts to break even and I've been getting 100K in gate receipts over the last few weeks.

 

[jdeus]

That pretty much how I stay afloat too... that and selling the 19yo's ive trained that dont come close to making it into the senior team.

But suppose I'm lucky enough to have and extra 37k on the senior academy

 

[Iridium]

Oh yea, -$160k. (Gosh my maths is bad). Since you're getting $100k in for gate receipts then you're all good.

I'm guessing by saying "all in youth", you have invested $0 in senior academy. What happens when some of your youths reach 20 and join the senior squad? Will you up senior investment then?

 

[Chewie]

lol my match rating was 11k behind yours

Lindeman has never been dismissed and his record continues

Sorry that you can't get the extra prize money though...

 

[Iridium]

Lost to Chewie despite having a match rating 11k higher. Fail....

Man this is getting ridiculous. This must be the third time this has happened. I'm going to overhaul my team.

Haha, all good bro. Just my crappy luck and team.

 

[Chewie]

Look at Central Thunderbirds game
