Leyton Orient New Stadium

Hi everyone,

With more time staying home I started a Leyton Orient save on FM19 and managed to bring them from the Vanarama National to the PL. However with my stadium capped at 12,000 without undersoil heating after several expansions, each time I request for "Build a New Stadium" my chairman says without a sizable increase in fanbase, he thinks it will bring more problems.

I do not understand this because the stadium is filling out every single game. We had a miraculous run in the Carabao Cup 2 seasons ago, which brought us European football this season and brought our reputation to "Continental".

We got promoted to the PL this season, and in pre-season my board announces that they intend to expand by 599 seats. 599 SEATS – to bring our total to 12599. Seems rather pointless to me especially since we are competing on multiple fronts both locally and in Europe (at least for now, haha)

Wondering if anybody might have any idea or faced a similar problem with their Leyton Orient or small club save?

Oh another note, I've read some of the threads here and tried playing around with the full editor to see if there are any hidden criteria that need to be met as well. Understand that some people have suggested that city size and fan base is capped for each club, even with continental or domestic success.

Was wondering as well if anybody could advise on this?

Hi there,

I have a similar problem with my Kvik Halden team in Norway. I have managed them from the bottom league to the premier division and won 2 Norwegian and got the team a lot of money yet they won’t even buy the stadium as they say they don’t have the money. Despite the fact I have made the club over £40m so far
