Grumpy 122 Posted December 6, 2021 Lots of sugar coated words but just another way of raising revenue. I certainly don't see the football content of the EDP or Pink Un improving or expanding.I am sure NCFC are very protective of what can or cannot be reported on. Does it mean that without the app we won't be able to access this message board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greavsy 2,412 Posted December 6, 2021 Yes. If not why would any one pay? It may be read only to "guests" but you'd certainly have to be a member to post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy 122 Posted December 6, 2021 Will the sports reports and articles still be available on the EDP24 website Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted December 6, 2021 1 hour ago, Grumpy said: Will the sports reports and articles still be available on the EDP24 website I believe so, it'll just be the "additional" and more insightful content that will be exclusive to paying customers. I think they need to build the forum into the app as well personally because that would be good, especially if you could comment in the same manner on articles etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
......and Smith must score. 1,341 Posted December 6, 2021 According to the promotional blurb I read the new paid-for site will have ' few adverts ' and the free site will sit alongside. What ' few adverts ' means is anybody's guess. How I read it is that the free service will be bombarded by even more adverts until we all lose the will to live and migrate over to the paid version 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't suggesting the forums should be paid for, just that they should be integrated into the app as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diane 500 Posted December 6, 2021 I really like the pinkun app, pretty sure that @Pete Raven will explain it in more detail at some stage but from what I understand it will have lots of content, interviews, opinions, match reports, newsletter & loads of ncfc stuff which wont be available on the website once the subscription kicks in plus the added bonus is there are no ads and its free for 2 months so you can have a good look round and see if you think its worth just £2pm. Download it and then make your mind up, its FREE for a while, no different to the Athletic or other papers that charge too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer 1,547 Posted December 6, 2021 They are going to have to take something away from the free access site, there is already way too much fluff on there for them to be creating even more content that would be worth a read. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy 122 Posted December 6, 2021 I will miss the forum as that is more of a connection with other supporters and there will be items in the EDP that will be available but I am not too bothered about reading which new player a reporter thinks we should buy or whether the pies were hot at Spurs,during an hour of question and answers on a Monday.

BigManInTheBarclay 75 Posted December 6, 2021 i've signed up for the trial and will likely pay the £1.99 a month as long as they remove any adds from the main page and app when it detects your subscription login. I've sent an email asking if this is going to happen otherwise they are pretty much 'double dipping' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The forum won't be behind the paywall as far as I'm aware, that is for additional/in-depth content. You'll still get the forums and basic match reports for free. I don't think they are aiming to lose site users, they are trying to make the content better for those that are willing to pay for it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy 122 Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) Well in that case i am confused as to what is available and what isn't I can't currently access the Q&A but that is no great loss.What else is there Edited December 6, 2021 by Grumpy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ward 3 372 Posted December 6, 2021 People might call me tight here but there we go, I aint paying for it. And if you can't post on here then so be it. 2 months free then 1.99 a month. That'll soon shoot up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Hairy 3,771 Posted December 6, 2021 Only use the forum, it must be years since I read anything on the main site. Whilst I enjoy a good moan on here 😁, I'm not paying £2 for the privilege (principle rather than cost obviously). So I'll be bidding you all a fond farewell if this is the case.

Danke bitte 965 Posted December 6, 2021 5 hours ago, AJ said: don't think they are aiming to lose site users, they are trying to make the content better for those that are willing to pay for it I genuinely don’t understand this. I appreciate they want to generate income but their content is average at best, they could, instead of hacking up one interview and spreading into 5 mini stories, just put out well researched, insightful stuff every few days. And even then I wouldn’t want to pay for it when it’s been free forever. Mind you, it’s Norwich isn’t it?! How cutting edge do we want/need the content to be?! Bailey was the best writer they had and they never replaced him. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beefy is a legend 224 Posted December 6, 2021 The issue I have with it is that they aren't really creating any new, innovative content. They are just pay-walling existing content that was previously free. I won't be subscribing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beefy is a legend 224 Posted December 6, 2021 It's all a little disappointing really. If you take The Athletic, they were genuinely doing something different. There is a depth of inside knowledge in some of Michael Bailey's articles that you simply don't get elsewhere. That makes it worth paying for. With the greatest of respect, because genuinely I like all of the Pinkun boys, Paddy, Connor and Dave, paying to read Paddy's Pointers doesn't really float my boat.
