TAKE YOUR SEATS PLEASE
How about making some ground improvements? It won't bring your team rating
down, but you may get a few benefits from it.
The following table shows you what's available:
Type Cost FF Unavailable Available
Increase To To
Stadium 300,000K +3 Goblins All Others
Grandstand 200,000K +2 Goblins All Others
Goblins, High
Terracing 150,000K +1 Elves, Wood All Others
Elves
Not-So-Grandstand 100,000K+0 All Others Goblins
The Fan Factor Increase is a 'one-off' permanent increase when you make
your purchase.
You may purchase some terracing for 150,000 then at a later date spend
another 150,000 to convert it into a Grandstand and so on. Your Teams Fan
Factor will rise accordingly.
Stadiums
If you own a Stadium and you are playing at home you may nominate one
special home supporters end/side. This must be done before kick-off.
If a home team player is knocked off the pitch into the nominated end/side,
roll a D6 and consult the following table:
D6 Effect
1-4 Injured as normal
5-6 **Pushed back onto pitch**
** The home team fans decides to push the player back onto the pitch. Place
the player prone on the square where he made his exit. If opponent followed
up then he will be pushed back to a square of his choice (of the squares
available). No armour or injury rolls are made for the home team player.**
If an away team player is pushed out into the nominated side/end, add +1 to
the injury roll.
Extra Re-Roll Counter - At the beginning of each half the home teams coach
rolls 2D6. On a roll of 9+ the home side receives an extra re-roll counter
for that half only.
If the team already has eight re-roll counters, they make take a ninth. On
any one turn during the half the home side may use two re-roll counters.
They may either re-roll one failed action twice or two failed actions once.
To use a second re-roll counter on a second failed action, the first
re-roll counter has to have worked. i.e. you must not have still suffered a
turn-over situation after using the first re-roll counter.
In addition to the above, there are some special Stadium rules which affect
certain races only. These are as follows:
Undead Stadiums - At the beginning of a home match, the Undead
coach may roll a D6 for all four individual sides/ends of his
team stadium.
On a roll of 6 the away team fans will not enter this part of the
stadium as it is haunted. For every 6 rolled the away team will
lose one quarter of their fans for this match.
Ignore the above rules if both teams are Undead.
Wood Elf Stadiums - Wood Elf teams who own a Stadium have their
Fan Factor increased by 1 for home matches. This is due to all
the fans who are watching from the trees that overhang the
Stadium.
Dark Elf & Norse Stadiums - Visiting fans must roll a D6 at half
time. If the result is a 6 they will leave the ground immediately
because of the cold. The FF for the away team will in this case
be zero for the rest of the game.
Ignore above rules if teams are Dark Elf or Norse.
Skaven Stadiums - Visiting fans roll a D6 at half time. On a 6
they will cheer on the Skavens instead of their own team. This is
because of the Warpstone Hot Dogs they 'accidentely' ate at half
time.
So the Skaven team may add the other teams Fan Factor for the
remainder of the game. Away teams Fan Factor is zero for the rest
of the game.
Grandstands
Apart from increasing a teams Fan Factor by 2, the only bonus from owning a
Grandstand is the extra re-roll counter rule as described above.
Terracing
The terraces tend to attract the roughest yobbo supporters you can imagine.
Nominate one end/side before kick-off. If any away team players are knocked
off the pitch into the nominated side/end, add +1 on the injury roll.
Foul! - If a home team player is sent off for committing a foul,
roll one D6.
D6 Result
1-4 Sent off as normal
5-6 **Let off with a caution**
**On a roll of 5 or 6 the Ref is intimidated by the yobbo fans and will not
send the player off. You may also argue the decision with your Head coach
as normal.**
Not-So-Grandstand
These are the pathetic attempts of Goblins to build a stadium. The
following rules apply to these:
High Elves - High Elf supporters will refuse to enter a
'Not-So-Grandstand', this means that High Elf teams have a FF of zero when
playing on such stadiums.
'Andy Hand Weapons - If there is a pitch invasion add +1 to all injury
rolls. The invading fans easily tear bits and pieces from the shoddy
'Not-So-Grandstand' to use as handweapons.
Timber-r-r-r - Excited fans who jump up and down may cause the
'Not-So-Grandstand' to collapse and therefore killing fans. The more
touchdowns that is scored, the more likely it is that the stand will
collapse. Roll 2D6 after the second TD:
TD's 2D6 Result Effect
1 - No effect
2 11+ Collapse
3 10+ Collapse
4 9+ Collapse
5 8+ Collapse
6+ 7+ Collapse
Collapse - If the stand collapses then roll 2D6:
2D6 Effect
2-7 Home fans killed -1 Fan Factor (permanent)
8-12Away fans killed -1 Fan Factor (permanent)
If there are 2 or more stand collapses during one match it will cost the
Goblin coach 40,000 crowns to pay for repairs.
Special rules for the stand will not apply until this money is paid.
Extra Fans - Goblin teams may add +2 (not a permanent increase) to any Fan
Factor result on the kick-off table.
This does not apply when rolling for the Gate as the extra Fans are tiny
snotlings sneaking in without paying.
