What Is feasible re the Club making more money out of the Cup through marketing?
Or would it be flogging a dead horse.
I'm thinking shirt sales, tieing them into a ticket deal somehow?
Or release next seasons to the fans before the final.
Flags, hats, scarves,badges etc.
Tie two items together to boost sales of merchandise with a deal where something goes out for extra in,.
Unlike a tenner slapped on top of a regular coach travel fee?
Thoughts?

I doubt it, its no longer in the clubs hands now thay Just Sports run the shop. I've noticed the discounted iteams are nowhere near as cheap as when the club ran the shop so I doubt its in Just Sports interest.

Bit hypocritical of me but although I'm going to Wembley I don't want to put any more money SUSU's way for scarves and flags etc. I suggested a while ago in another thread that the Trust should produce some things. I don't think they can use the club crest but they could be Sky Blue Trust flags and scarves with Wembley April 17 on or a 'win it for Jimmy flag' with a picture of the great man. Proceeds to go to the Trust to help prepare for what comes next with the club or 50/50 Trust and local charity like Myton Hospice or Zoe's Place.

I want some stuff as a memento of the day but not from SISU.

Or from ccfc?

There are flags on sale anyway, around the ground at the weekend and will be more popping up. Jester hats too

Good idea I have my tickets but will not buy anything from the club shop but would like something

 

[Nick]

Surely the whole nopm thing is void as you have tickets?

Charity ones are a good idea though, the legacy fund weren't able to get anything knocked up and sold in time

 

[wingy]

I didn't start this thread to be negative but that would be a poor scenario with the void on the smaller Items being filled elsewhere.
You'd think there should be scope as they want to push stuff and we must get a set percentage.

If someone could check with the club if they aren't doing anything maybe get some shirts, scarves etc knocked up and have the profit go to the Jimmy Hill Way.

Did think of that, they couldn't get them made and on sale in time

It wouldn't be too hard to get some made up though it's just the selling and logistics

No idea, there was a guy selling them on a stand by a444! I'd guess he will be there every home game

Just waiting the half and half scarf:emoji_v:

Just waiting the half and half scarf:emoji_v:

Just need to know who we are playing

 

[wingy]

Bring back the Davy Crocket hats!!
I think the one in the loft of my brothers may have been chomped by scurrying creatures in the past. :-S
Sorry bro.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Half and two quarters :emoji_stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I hate them bloody tourist scarfs :emoji_punch:

 

[clint van damme]

Just need to know who we are playing

bring out a half and a quarter and a quarter to cover all bases.
EDIT: beat me to it TGP!

 

[shmmeee]

Just need to know who we are playing

We could do a half and half and half scarf for the time being.

 

[shmmeee]

Obvious joke is obvious.

 

[Nick]

I was going to say we need a half and two quarters, surprised nobody had mentioned it

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

If the club can't find a way to make a few quid (wherever it ends up) out of this day, then Tim Fisher really ought to get it with both barrels (from JoyS and from fans).

Based on our Chairman it seems appropriate!

A one off kit for the final I think would go down well if it is nice. Can see a lot of City fans buying a replica shirt to wear for the day.

Think you are right. Some will need a shirt for the first time. And more seasoned fans would buy a special final one. I would buy a sky blue one...but if it's essentially white I will stick with one from yesteryear...will prob wear the old 60s one that was reused a few years ago.

Final. Coventry City FC Online Store

Tempted by a foam hand!

Might get:

OR

Couldnt wear a footy top all day like the top one though, I'd stink bad.

 

[wingy]

You do don't you?
That replica from 3-4 seasons back LSB has just posted was bad for that too.

I'd wear it for game only. Wear another for the travel down and back....honest

Yeah, can't see how blokes can wear them out to the pub and not absolutely stink.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Just buy some man city gear.

Well, I think you know the answer - they do stink!

 

[wingy]

Bring back the Mancini style scarf.
Small checks.

Had to read that twice - thought you'd said bring back the mankini...

The tenners for parking

It needs to be a big improvement on that wishy washy crap we are playing in at the moment.

 

[wingy]

No it isn't.
£1.25 p on a ticket covers that.
£65 per coach quoted off here 'wembley parking '

I did say I was being a bit hypocritical. Having already paid for my season ticket, I'm still going to all games at home and some away but I'm no longer spending any other money - no shirt, no programme, no drinks or food. Unlike previous seasons.

My stance has changed as the season has gone on, largely as a result of listening to Tim Fisher's opinions of us and their continuation of the court cases. Wembley ticket aside (hypocritical as I said) I'm now more in the NOPM camp than outside it. This season has prompted a change in me like no other I've known, including two relegation ones.
