Attendance figures way way off

[ButtersFTW]

Im doing a 1972 replay and turned financial system off. All teams are getting crowds between 5,000-10,000 a game.

Why is this?

How do I fix it so that attendance numbers would be realistic?

If you turn off financials, I would think that the game has no way of knowing what a normal average attendance should be. If you had it enabled, the league wide average attendance would be 14,525 in 1972, which while nothing compared with today's 30,000+ type of average attendance, would go a long way to helping with attendance figures in your game.

Its a little low but not historically inaccurate. In 1972 only 4 teams averaged more than 20k, 8 averaged below 10k, 4 more under 13k. On a weeknight in 1972 5-10k is all most teams are going to get.
