Two questions:
Do I still get the plus 1 to my winnings roll for winning the game? Its not on the new table, but the table may just replace the table itself, not the whole section of the DZ card....
and...
What prat thought of the rule of 1 and 6 applying to the FF roll? So far I've heard that my league has had two people - one of them me - with +3 on their rolls going DOWN in FF! Sorry - stupid and pointless rule. I get 2 cas and 2 TDs yet still lose FF? Please tell me why. Maybe only apply the rule to FFs of 10 or more?

Yup, both good points Thadrin, I have to agree. The Amsterdam league is still adding +1 for winning the game, though I can't guarantee that's the official way of working out the new rules.
as to FF, you have my sympathies, as I'm in the same boat. I seem to roll nothing but 6s during a game (no complaints there then!) and then nothing but 1s afterwards (boo, hiss).
I'll abide by the rules as they stand, but I agree with you in principle...

Well the red sheet, which still is the major guideline, states that you get a +1 on your winnings when you win the game.
Although the winning table itself has changed, we assumed that this old rule was still justified, because otherwise the BBRC would have mentioned that the +1 rule would be dropped!
It's Vulcan logic

Blood Bowl is Blood Bowl... if you win, have more than 2 TD and 2 injuries and roll 1... be happy, you have destroyed your enemy, although you won't have one more fan. Maybe your fans hate cruelty

There should always be a chance to go up or down. What this represents are players making stupid comments about fans or coaches making silly mistakes during the game. In otherwords, the fans are as fickle as real life fans. They'll turn on you in a minute.

The new FF system is working out well for us. I really like the new negatives actually, it helps my TR from growing out of control.

IT BLOODY HAPPENED AGAIN.
Third game...second in a row against Orcs. Only 1-1, but I got my 2 casualties. Another bloody 1 on the FF table.
Stupid, stupid rule.

Definitely +1 on the winning.
Yup it is sure frustrating to have your FF reduced when you roll a natural 1. Think about it like this. It'll always go up if you roll a six. Even if you've lost and suffered any other modifiers.

look at it the other way, I have an UDead team TR226 and I want to keep the TR low and I keep rolling natural 6's despite winning only 1-0

We also use the '1' and '6' rules here.
to limit FF increase.
in fact our house rules are:
if you dont score at all (-1) on the roll
if you dont make a cas (-1) on the roll
if yopu score twice or more (+1)on the roll
if you do 2 Cas or more (+1) on the roll
this part sound more realistic.
the natural '1' and '6' is a part of BB spirit chaos...

Since we used the new rules....
My undead have more fans then ever..
The last three games I just rolled 6's.
Some are lucky, and some aren't

what is your FF now?

It's 22.
But our site adminastrator thought that nobody would ever reach a FF above 20, So it's still impossible to show it on our website, where my FF is still 20.
But my team cheats, they force supporters into the stadium. Vampire counts just hate free will
Of course, on the www I've seen x teams with higher ratings. But in our league, the undead have found the best way to fill the stadium

Three games in...still unbeaten (1 win, two draws)...scored 5 TDs, +2 TD difference...still have less FF than I started with.
I think someone up there doens't like me.
With the next team I'm playing only having 1 FF I'm never going to get a replacement trollslayer.
