morty 0 Posted June 3, 2015 The club has cocked up pretty badly here.If they had priced them a bit more sensibly, ie 10 or 15 quid cheaper, they would have sold them by the bucketload. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crabbycanary3 994 Posted June 3, 2015 Not everyone has the luxury of being able to spend another £40 odd extra (for 2 tops) to have THE badge on. there are other ways round it, as has been mentioned.(this thread could run and run I feel and could be interesting) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just feel that by buying non-endorsed products doesn''t send any cash the club''s way. For example, buying a scarf from a street vendor, yes it''s got NCFC on it, but the profit goes straight into the pocket of said street vendor, who probably isn''t even a City supporter.

Crabbycanary3 994 Posted June 3, 2015 Getting something from NCFC (as opposed to ''Norwich'' scarfs from the guy on the bridge before the game - copyright and all that) is seen as a luxury item in most of our households, and therefore, the money for these items will come out of the household budget, and some budgets are smaller than others, and spending it needs to be justified, and normally compromise needs to be reached!

As soon as I saw them I fancied one, but no way, and money isn''t the issue. Its principal.Like I previously said, the club gets enough of my money, including 3 season tickets at a grand a season.Between this and the price of the DVD''s I feel they have pushed just a little bit too far this time.

Crabbycanary3 994 Posted June 3, 2015 Whoever the marketing guy is, needs to have a conversation with someone like Mr McN.Why didn''t NCFC get a unique design done, and then sell it with a badge on?To get something that could end up being sold in Sports Direct and try and flog it for twice the price, just because of the badge, is being a tad naive, or worse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kick it off 1,927 Posted June 3, 2015 Daz Sparks - You mention that buying from a street vendor doesn''t put money into the club. Which is completely true, but we''ve just had another £80million windfall for the club, on the back of 3 seasons of Prem money and parachute payments/structured contracts which significantly softened the blow of relegation.Two points from this.1) The club are taking the p*** with this, and the release of 4 DVDs. Should have been two DVD''s - one season review and one derby games, with 360 and Playoff final being free as an extra on a bonus disc on both DVDs. 360 is available entirely for free on Youtube so trying to flog a few DVDs at £20 a pop is just extortionate. Hiking up the prices on the jacket is extortionate. The club has plenty of money coming in, and I think the way they are cashing in on this season is a bit disrespectful to the fans. It was a great season, and we''ve loved every minute of, but we have sold out home and away time and again this season, as usual, we have all had to find extra cash we probably didn''t expect to to pay for Playoff games and expensive Wembley tickets, Some of us have had to make real sacrifices to find the extra cash for the Wembley trip.... £20 for a badge on a jacket which is an off the rack design and freely available at about half the price without the badge is wrong imo. 2) As aforementioned, the club has had another windfall, we''ve all turned up in our droves to watch them again, many of us have pumped money in throughout the season for merchandise. I suspect the scarf seller on the street probably needs the £10 more than the club needs the £20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted June 3, 2015 Is 4 DVDs of this season priced at £19 each really necesary. I think not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigManInTheBarclay 75 Posted June 3, 2015 to be honest I''d rather it without the club badge on. My shirt has the badge and that''s what counts most.This was I have a great looking (and £30 cheaper) trackie top I can wear anywhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
