Apparently that has changed?
It's not cool, it doesn't help to increase the number of spectators, it's linked, isn't it?

Rull43: Cela a changé apparemment?
Pas cool, ça n'aide pas à faire monter le nombre de spectateurs, c'est lié, non?

Your vf index is calculated according to your number of points scored over the last 3 seasons. The less you play, the more you drop and each new season you take off the 4th season so that readjusts your position in the standings.
And yes, this naturally has an impact on your viewers

Isn't there a history of inactive clubs being deleted at the start of the season too, which can cause the index to fall?

At the start of the season, the indices fall because the number of clubs present is readjusted and, as the indices represent a slice of this number, when the number falls, the slices are smaller. As the season progresses and new clubs are formed, the number increases and so do the bands.

i lost 2 index points

So am I.
The problem is that stadium attendance, which is linked to the index, will drop by several hundred fans at the slightest defeat... and will hardly increase despite 7 consecutive victories

Blagoje Vidinic: En début de saison, les indices baissent car il y a un réajustement du nombre de clubs présents et, comme les indices représentent une tranche de ce nombre, quand le nombre baisse, les tranches sont plus petites. Au fur et à mesure de la saison et des créations de nouveaux clubs, le nombre augmente et les tranches avec.

Thank you for your comprehensive reply, as always

Blagoje Vidinic: Moi aussi.
Le problème que ça pose est la fréquentation du stade qui, étant liée à l'indice, va chuter de plusieurs centaines de supporters à la moindre défaite... et n'augmentera pratiquement pas malgré 7 victoires consécutives ; va falloir serrer les fesses pendant 2 semaines. ^^

Yes, it hurts, I've lost 2pts of index, for small clubs where every penny counts... but I'd never paid attention. We tightened the buttocks at the beginning, that rull

For my part, I gain an index point at the start of each season, and this season has been no exception. It's a good thing I've got more supporters for cup games 😅
