When your fan loyalty is maxed and it gets another trigger to increase, it resets to very good and market size increases. This is how it played out when I was GM of SF and got market size up to astronomical... when I moved to Texas I was more ruthless about ditching players, so even though I was winning, I wasn’t maxing out fan interest and didn’t get loyalty boosts.
Hi Tidster, thank you for your contribution and input! Your working hypothesis makes a lot of sense and thank you for offering your thoughts on this issue.

By the way, how did your fan interest look? Did it increase very much at all or it seemed to be "stuck" at certain level?
