Mister Chops 7 Posted May 22, 2011 Company offers product.Some people buy it. Some don''t. Some people who buy it moan about it.Some people who don''t buy it moan about it anyway.The end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
@jayncfc 0 Posted May 23, 2011 I fully understand capitalism, I have a degree in Politics and Economics.If, however a company charges a ludicrous amount for a product, USUALLY they will at least offer something to another pot, in this instance the club or FITC could be a beneficiary. Honestly, if they had said "Yea, it''s £15.00 but X% goes to Y I am sure many more people would have been interested. Just like why we pay £15 for the demolition derby DVD when we could just leave it recorded in HD on our Sky box :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First Wizard 0 Posted May 23, 2011 My last words on this is: Buy it and give Archant your money and nothing to City or like me wait, and then spend your cash at the club shop when something ''official'' comes out. The latter method would benefit the club more imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now, run along, thats a good lad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ur just a man in a jacket 0 Posted May 23, 2011 So you do not want to see any Norfolk business do well from NCFC''s promotion? You dont want to see the local economy do well which we know is having a tough time? I suggest you call Wetherspoons at Riverside who made an extremely healthy amount and demand some of there revenue from their record breaking day from the Promotion Party then.That is a very simple view First Wiazrd and one from someone who clearly does not understand business.

It sounds on the high side but until one sees the product who knows? But I imagine Archant, who do this for a living, have worked out that at £15 they get a decent profit but no more. If they were to donate part of the profits to the club, as you suggest, they would have to charge - say - £20. But the main point is that your demolition derby analogy makes no sense at all. That is not some outside organisation producing the DVD and giving part of the proceeds to the club. That is the club producing a DVD purely as a money-spinning wheeze for itself. Presumably those fans who bought (which doesn''t include me) it did so for a very simple reason. Either they don''t have Sky (in my universe people don''t) or they simply didn''t think to record it. They didn''t buy it as an act of charity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
@jayncfc 0 Posted May 23, 2011 Agreed, but it is something that still goes to the club is it not? People are willing to pay that but they are safe in the knowledge that it will be going to the club. I think it is overpriced, I have expressed my reasoning as to why I think it is overpriced. If you wish to pay that much money for it then that is fine, but I think you will find A LOT more who aren''t. My next point would be what would you pay for any other magazine? Under my coffee table now I can see around 5 and they are all under £5.00 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They bought the DVD because they wanted to; I doubt the fact that the money was going to the club entered into their thinking at all. As to the magazine I''ve no idea if it''s worth £15. If there is one left in Smith''s or at Archant Towers when I''m in Norwich in the autumn I''ll thumb through and see. As it happens I think £15 for a magazine that reviews the whole season strikes me as a much more sensible purchase than a £15 DVD of ONE game when the DVD of the whole 49-game season, including that Ipswich game, will be available in the summer at a price that will be bound to represent far greater value for money.

Lurd 0 Posted May 24, 2011 They could have stuck a firm cover on it and marketed it as a book but at £15, I still wouldn''t have bought it. Absolutely shocking from Archant there but it doesn''t really surprise me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evil Monkey 52 Posted May 25, 2011 I''d be more willing to spend the £15 were Archant execs to state that they would use the cash to save jobs rather than line their own fat pockets... ho hum... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LowestoftBoy 0 Posted May 25, 2011 Ordered mine the other day. Am I missing something, because on the form, there was no field to say the name you wanted printing in it? Do they just print the name of whoevers buying it? I really wanted the name of the person I''m giving it to as a present. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
