I'm trying to think about ways to adjust fans won and lost as I genuinely feel it's spoiling the game.
I've dicussed it in gvg, extra training matches etc.
I don't lose often (other than matches where significant MB is used against me) but yet it takes several days now to recoup a single loss.

My latest idea is to gain more fans for more tries and lose less for close scores. Let me explain:

You gain 100 fans for a win.
If you go MB free and win you gain a further 100 fans.
If you score 4 tries or more you gain 100 more fans
Therefore you could potentially gain 300 fans for a win

Alternatively you currently lose 1100 fans for a loss.
If you play MB free that would reduce by 200 fans
If you lose within 7 points this would reduce by 200
At a minimum you would lose 700 fans.

In my opinion this still makes it hard to gain fans but meeting certain criteria less of an effort to gain fans. It also feels more realistic in that you would gain more fans playing more attractive expansive rugby and lose less fans for close matches. It also shouldn't be hard to implement as it reflects the bonus point system used in championship matches.

What do people think?

Black Monks :

If you are allowed to do more training matches wouldn't it be fair to assume you would also get challenged more?

Blackmonks and taff aside from training matches (which I agree there should be more of if you're only gaining 100 fans a time say 1 every 2 hours) What are your opinions on the original topic? I'm interested to know.
