In the travestry of a game that was GM vs ALO in the Cecil Cup, John (LIV) commented on the risk playing a GK aggressive. So I did some maths and worked out that with an n GK our shot chance would have gone up enough to give us about 0.3 more chances. Tapani also played an SL 7 MF aggressive, which was even more pointless as it only added 0.5 DEF and 0.75 OFF (before changing to O). However the chance of giving a penatly for a Strong/Fair ref was about 7.8% for the 135 minutes of aggressive play (the GK was subbed at half time). The ref was Homer/Strict but he wasn't much of either as we didn't even get a yellow card.

In Features there's settings for Flatnz and The Manager, both if which were added to the leagues here and MSWL - all on Al Sellers' server I believe. Tim Given folded Flatnz before a ball was kicked and I'm not 100% sure what happened with The Manager apart from Adam Meney wrote his own software - very similar but I think NMR teams played n rather than p, and there was other stuff too. One thing Adam did have or was going to have was "following" (someone correct me if I'm wrong) but I don't remember seeing it in his new version and I think that's what Attendance is about.

In the Java code for match revenue is the following (translated to English)

If league=The Manager then "a variable" = home following + modified (by travelling support) away following.

If this variable is greater than stadium capacity then it is maximum capacity.

Later it says Gate = base amount + this variable times ticket price.

If league isn't the Manager then it's the calculation we have now.

I suppose attendance could be linked to Gate revenue but SESL is based on real teams with variable stadiums and it's that pesky Java again.

Found the code. It adds goals, minutes played etc to database entries called in the code, for instance, "c1goals" for the Cecil Cup but there is no "c1mom", just "mom". And it's in Java so I'm not touching it. Not even sure I could as it would mean expanding the databases (I think).

Maybe I could tell it to ignore cup game MoMs so they didn't increase the total but, as Al Sellers has told me, it's not a simple edit in Notepad++ like I can with the php.

At the bottom of the competion stats pages there are two tables: Average Attendance and Team Form Guide.

The first one is irrelevant, and may as well be removed, and I bet no one looks at the other one, but I'll wait for any comments before changing that.

Only a small, not very important, bug where the number of games a player had played for the Golden Boot and Young Boot sections of the stats were showing the number of league games played and not the number of cup games. The number of goals score in each competion was correct.

I can't quite get my head around the code that counts MoMs as this always totals all competitions.

I'll email Mark, but if anyone else here as the correct Commish access the referees need shuffling. 

The first time I tried to read Lord of the Rings I didn't even finish the first book. I tried again a couple of years later and got halfway through Two Towers but found that boring and again stalled. So I get why you've struggled.

Third time I'd now seen the first Peter Jackson film and now I had voices and could see who I was reading about - it made it much easier. When I got to Two Towers I read the second half first and then Return of the King before I saw the third film.

I love mythology so found the first part of Silmarillon easy to read and loved the main part about Beleriand. I think I preferred Unfinished Tales but it's been years since I read any of them.

I remember when Andrew used Game of Thrones names (more accurately the books Tale of Ice and Fire?)

For Alloa I try to use real player names as I did early on at Deveronvale. But have also used ex work mates (Ashley Roe for instance), some randomly made up names, my son "the JAT" as Andrew called him when he did Front Page reviews. 

My SFLSL team is AC Sapone - Sapone is the Italian for soap that you wash with and my player names are from Corro, EastEnders etc . Before I had a team called Beleriand and the names were from Tolkein's Unfinished Tales, Silmarillion and other collections.

Over in OASL it's mainly names from books, even if they're more well known from TV or Film.
