The stadiums are also based on real stadiums and Port of Spain is not a big one therefore they should have no obvious revenue advantage.

The league has a revenue sharing agreement and I have tried both TV contracts linked to market size and equal contracts with no change.

I am using in-game finances that move in line with the game year.

I am only simming games as commissioner, not playing any or acting as manager for any team.

My question is, is this just a phenomenon of the game and over more time it should correct itself or are there some league settings I need to think about changing to restore some parity to my fictional game?
Does Cape Town have a team in your league and if so, how are they doing?
