When you're playing a team from the same country, this should have a different impact on the game.
* more fans
- certainly from the away team as they don't have to travell as far.
- winning against local/rival teams is important to fans meaning more will come to watch the game
* home advantage
- maybe home advantage should become less big when playing a team from the same country. It's more difficult to play in a foreign country where you don't know the fans, you've got a long trip, people speak another language, ...
- home team advantage should depend on the number of fans from the home team and the away team.
Maybe this last remark should be a general rule. Players supported by 60000 shouting and singing fans should get a bigger boost than players supported by 6000 fans.
These measures would give managers a real way to manage the ticketing and make it more important to decide how many tickets you want to hand out to away fans.
