Are the Programme Stall facilities supposed to run at a loss from lvl1-4 before breaking even at lvl5? seems contradictionary for something supposed to make money even if its only a little.
Hi Yilgarn
I have a level 4 programme stall and pay 60,000 per week maintenance for it. For the last 3 weeks I've received an income of 92,000, 88,000, and 84,000 from it so I'm making a small profit every week, but I have a ground capacity of 25,000 whereas yours is a lot smaller. If you look at the programme stall item under the facilities tab you'll see there's a capacity value and for level 4 the optimal ground size for that is 27, 500 so I think, although maybe Marko can confirm, then problem is that you've increased the level of the programme stall ahead of building your capacity so you're currently paying more for maintenance than it gives in income.

I'm not the greatest at math but shouldn't you be getting 25000 *2 (best case attendance)? if you read the Programme stall description: "Everyone likes a programme from the match, make sure you stock enough so everyone can buy one... at 2€ each of course. Or is the description wrong then, and do you get more x/each fan once you upgraded?
Last week I had 2 home matches but didn't fill the ground to full capacity so only made 92000 on programmes. If I'd filled the ground at both matches, I'd have received 100,000 (50000 attendance x 2).

Overall, the facilities deliver very little compared to the stadium. I did the calculations a few months ago and it took more than 5 seasons for level 4 to pay for itself.
Now, if you've built the facilities up to level 5, you have a big gap there. Because your stadium only holds 5900 people.
The level of the facilities should match how many fans you can fit in the stadium. So you should only have level 1 installed.
When you reach an audience of 12,500 in your stadium, then you can upgrade the facilities to level 2.
In my team, Pomer City, where I have the most fans, I still have the facilities at level 3, even filling a 42,000-seat stadium. I still don't see the advantage in upgrading because of how little they deliver, but also because of a lack of money to invest.
What Ewerthon just said. We both have teams in Brasilian top league, even there with 42k stadium, I only have level 3 burger stand and club shop I think is the name. Doesn't make sense to invest above that, as you pay more and more for the same increase in capacity. With stadium, it is always linear - same cost same income per 1000 seats. I would suggest investing in facilities once you are past 25k stadium, you really dont need it before that, it is just better to invest in stadium seats.
