As for kicking your brother, you would if he supported Wakie, wouldn't you?:



Quote: tb "No.

Just that as an argument

I'm not saying that at all. The fact they aren't wearing replicas was a secondary point.

They might not be wearing colours but there is plenty of colour (demonstrating club loyalty) on the flags, and I think they'd struggle to avoid the police with those flags!

Fair point (and the thing about the police was just an aside to the original emergence of 'casuals' with groups like West Ham's ICF, in the bad old days of football hooliganism)

George Bush says 'we are losing the war on drugs'. Well you know what that implies? There's a war going on, and people on drugs are winning it! Well what does that tell you about drugs? Some smart, creative motherfookers on that side.":23517.gif



Quote: El Tigre "Would do in a round-about way. Improvement of atmosphere The club needs revenue, they will do whatever they can to generate it, they are after all a business icon_eek.gif . I would hardly call changing the shirt once a year "contempt towards the fans". They don't force people to buy the bloody things.
I have put a lot of money into the club over the years not just through buying shirts and entry fees. But through sponsorship, and advertising the company I work for. Then people such as your good self can stand on the terraces, watching a half decent team,waving your little home made banner satisfied that you really have put the bare minimum into said team . But what would I know? I am just a marketing mans wet dream. Rather that than a tight c**t though! icon_biggrin.gif

Didn't realise I had picked on a super-fan.

icon_rolleyes.gif

So there are no other things the club can do to generate revenue other than changing the kit?

Kids want the new kits and pressurise parents to buy them. Parents make sacrifices to buy them (missing a few games) and then think "I haven't really missed that at all" and evetually stop going altogether.

Thus, if new kits were priced comparitively I wouldn't have a problem with them.

Would you like to point out where I said (or even implied) that?

Did all the other kids have a nice new shirt, and all you had was your own little home made flag, with colours that constantly ran due to the little grey rain cloud that followed you around. As a result you have grown up with a strange inclination to hate replica Cas shirts?

If it helps make you feel any better I will send you my old shirt each year when I have done with it. Actually f**k it, if it will stop you wittering on I will bloody buy you one!

So what you're saying is that colour on the terraces adds to the supportive ambience The sort of colour you'd find on a flag or, say, a replica shirt?

Quote: El Tigre "Does the wearing of a replica show a higher level of support than someone who doesn't wear em?

Why do grown men with beer guts think wearing cheap materials designed for athletes is a good idea?

Never mind the touch and feel of the product; just buy it, wear it and walk around paying for the privilege of being an advertising board for our thousands of sponsors.

I go to the game and don't need a cheaply made (but expensive) piece of clothing to identify me to the club. Given the choice I'd far rather spend 40+ quid on a polo shirt that I won't feel compelled to replace 12 months on.

I suppose we are pretty miserable though to be fair.'"



That's the whole point of a replica shirt, and is why we still have a club today. You may not think replica shirts are not that much important revenue stream but it prrovides the whole financial input of the club.

As you so rightly said, replica shirts are a billboard of advertisements. Without things like that, we'd not have the financial input of sponsors who pay lots of money and all that goes into the maintenance and running of the club.

Cas on average sell 1000-1500 replica shirts at a guess - that's 400k on replica shirts and once more goes on player recruitment.

Think you need to stop thinking at the front cover and judging and delve deeper to actually find out why these things - and the changing of them every year are important to the entire foundation of the club.

Maths is obviously not a strong point then? 1,500 (max) sold at £40 equals £400,000? If you say so.

Railwayend - just stick your old shirt on a flag pole - job done.

The problem I have is that replicas are cheaply made , sold at vastly inflated prices as they have the club crest on. If I were paying that much for an item of clothing I'd want it to be of a higher quality than is provided and not feel it necessary to replace it every 12 months.

Tell you what they could do - put the prices of ST's up £25 and give a free replica.

That's actually not the worst idea I have ever heard. If it was optional, I'm sure many would take up the chance for a cheaper shirt.

It's still a good £340,000 out though!

Maybe I'm going insane, but doesn't 1000 x £40 = £40,000

icon_lol.gif Too true. Heres an even better idea, I'll stick you on my big purple flag pole, then rip off shirts will be the least of your worries! icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_wink.gif Seriously though, I know what you mean about the quality. If we are paying £40 a chuck they should be of reasonable quality ( Although I they are ideal for going to the gym, and last years was pretty good quality). But I don't think one shirt a year is over the top. Look at chavball, they have a shirt for playing a team who's name begins with each letter of the alphabet. But at the end of the day, the club cant make us buy them.

Whoops, long day at work combined with tiredness is my excuse for that mistake. Still it's an important revenue stream for the club.
