Arthur Whittle 0 Posted January 1, 2010 I know things are going well in division 3...sorry League One, for NCFC but still the club manages to get my goat up.This time its the club shop.For christmas shopping i was looking for the odd NCFC item for the family and was absoloutly disgusted at the prices.£18 for a dvd being just 1 example. Ridiculous, when you consdier that you can buy zulu, Italian Job and get carter together all for under a tenner!!!We are a division 3 club {thanks Delia - and no I wont forget even if we do get promoted} with club shop prices of a premiership club...why? Im disgusted the club is still treating fans in this shoddy way.And while we are on the subject of the club shop i dont appreciate Delia Smith merchandise being shoved in my fave such as Delia, Chef hats, Cook books, aprons etc. If I went to the chelsea club shop would i have oil shoved in my face? If i went to the qpr club shop would i have forumla one shoved in my face? No! So get your act together Delia and realise this isnt YOUR club shop but NCFCs and we dont deserve premiership prices considering we are in the old division 3.First rant of 2010 over OTBC!!!

That is amazing.Getting back to the point about the price of DVDs in the NCFC shop. Yes they are expensive but they have a corner on the market, if you want to see a DVD about NCFC then you have no choice but to pay it and with a fairly limited audience it is unlikely people will find it on torrent shops, not to mention the comparative costs of producing a few hundred DVDs and the tens of thousands of DVD film companies will produce allow for economies of scale to come into play. In interest have you compares the prices of Norwich stuff to other League 1 clubs? Is there a huge gulf in prices? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arthur Whittle 0 Posted January 1, 2010 There is a gulf in prices. Scarfs starting prices are £4.00, Seson highlight dvd can be found for £8.99, mugs £3.50. So yes there is a big gap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And even if the price of Norwich stuff compares favourably with other clubs it''s not good enough. Norwich stuff should be cheaper to compensate for the fact our owner staggered onto the pitch in a drunken state and said "Let''s Be ''Avin'' You" 5 years ago [:''(] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arthur Whittle 0 Posted January 1, 2010 What a cop out Nutty!!! Thats crap even for you!!!You idiot, wake up and realise we are in the same bloody league as them you fool and that was the questionl!!! Oh hang on there was your little worming your way out of the question I said you would do. If you take the time to look at the league we are in you will see we are in the same league as Brentford, Hartlepool, Exeter, Wycombe, Swindon, etc etc, theres no way of a cop out of that question. We are in this league so answer the bloody question.The question was are we charging as much as other league one clubs...I looked around on the internet and found we were charging more...we are a league one club...has it not sunk in yet nutty or are you delibretly being obtuse???Answer me this, do you think it fair game for a LEAGUE ONE club to charge £200 to be matchday mascot? Please answer ive got to hear this.Now remember before you start your twisting and turning, we are a League One club...straight answer please if that is possible with you.

If people wouldn''t pay the £200 then the club would lower their prices. If people would willingly pay £500, the club would put their prices up. It''s good business.And if we were charging £50, you''d be moaning at how cheap it is and that it shows our lack of ambition... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 2,424 Posted January 1, 2010 At the end of the day it is a sign of the times if the worst thing about the club is the price of DVDs and scarfs. (I did see there is a 4 pound Norwich scarf, so maybe we aren''t such rip-off merchants after all). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arthur Whittle 0 Posted January 1, 2010 Do you really think I would moan if the prices were low??? Baffling!!!We have to remember we ARE a 3rd tier club like it or not!!!Still thats darling Delias regime taking us back 50 years eh mate.So nutty is it fair to charge £200 for a kid to be matchday mascot in League one???

Arthur Whittle 0 Posted January 1, 2010 Also Chops people are paying that price because they have no other bloody option, you cant go on another clubs website and buy NCFC merchandise can you.They have the monopoly over the merchandise pricing and are taking the p;ss!!!

nutty nigel 7,902 Posted January 1, 2010 Have you been let on the beer again Arthur[B]Go compare with comparable clubs. How do our prices compare with Charlton, Leeds or Southampton?

So I guess people are happy to pay the price, and as the money helps keep the club afloat I''m not entirely sure why you''re moaning... is it because McNamee is black?

Bethnal Yellow and Green 2,424 Posted January 1, 2010 Our prices are comparable with Charlton and Leeds, clubs we have more in common with than Hartlepool and Exeter. At the end of the day if everything is over priced people won''t buy it. Like when Man U kept bringing out new shirts or three kits, the fans stopped buying the new ones and the club soon stopped.It is the job of the marketing and merchandising bits of NCFC to make as much money as possible, like it or not Football Clubs are businesses and they are going to price items at the optimum levels to maximize profits. If you don''t like it, don''t spend any money on it--simple as that really. Some people will complain about anything... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arthur Whittle 0 Posted January 1, 2010 Nutty, its cop out after cop out with you mate...compare our prices with other clubs in our league...you dont seem to appreciate the fact that we are in the same League as hartlepool and also look up Scunthorpe and Doncaster who play at a higher standard yet prices are lower. Explain that or spin master!!!As for matchday mascots being charged £200 it takes the p;ss and you know i think that i want to know what YOU yes YOU think!!! When my boy was younger he had a couple of games as mascot and it was FREE yes FREE!!!! And you will find that some premiership yes i said PREMIERSHIP clubs have FREE mascots so explain how our board get away with charging 200 bloody notes!!! Dont dodge this, what do you honestly think, without your usual spin crap this time please.Now then Chops, all I will say is that if people cant buy something anywhere else they have no choice but to pay that price, if kids want something, reluctentlythe parents have to pay it like it or not.

Arthur Whittle 0 Posted January 1, 2010 I give up on people like you nutty dodging questions.It was simple enough.How can you justify our club charging £200 for a mascot for a league one game when it used to be free and some premiership clubs charge nothing?Instead you duck and dive your way out of the question like a brixton car jacker.Im off to bury my head in the sand like you nutty and see what all the fuss is about.....you people...........

Camuldonum 0 Posted January 1, 2010 I think you will find that mascot prices in this division are all around £200-250 depending on the exact package. The Norwich charge for that is not over the top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
