I don't have an issue with the charging a premium for signed merch, as people may not have the time or the contacts to get their stuff signed the old-fashioned way, so this gives them another option. Whether they've pitched the prices at an appropriate level, particularly given our current circumstances is a lot more debatable.I think charging for the personalised messages is a lot more dodgy. If they're trying to rebuild the connection between the players and the fans, then monetising it in this way is at best unhelpful, and possibly a little exploitative, given that they're charging those kind of prices for something that's fairly ephemeral. There's also a risk that by commercialising those kind of messages that they end up falling prey to people submitting spoof requests like that Nigel Farage "Up The Ra" thing, so it may end up being more trouble than it's worth.2

Yes, they should both be the same price. I see inequality still lives down in SE7.Off_it said:The prices for the men's team are ridiculous enough. But those prices for the women's team are even worse.

I spose you think a football signed by someone playing for Man U ladies should be the same price as one signed by Ronaldo?1 -
And that’s the ridiculousness of it all.Croydon said:
You're moaning at people moaning.redman said:Can't believe why people are getting upset at this! FFs, if you don't want it don't buy any! Simple. I won't either but there are many things the clubs does I don't buy from items in the shop, jackpot tickets and other things. Doesn't mean the club shouldn't do it. Please shut up moaning at everything

We're bolloxed!
It's been quite obvious to me that TS will only spend serious money if we're making serious money.
Anyone else see the problem here?0 -
I think £25 for a personal message is excellent value. It's nuts to suggest the club should do these for free.
You could save up and get Louie Spence, an absolute bargain for £65.

Must admit i'm surprised at the general outrage. It's not something you're forced to buy so if you're not interested then don't bother. A lot of people like signed stuff so i'm pretty sure the mens stuff will sell out, especially from parents buying their kids xmas presents.
One thing i will agree on though is that the women's prices are a joke, i can't see many takers for their items.1 -
How much for the men or women to do ironing 🙄😐Chris_from_Sidcup said:Must admit i'm surprised at the general outrage.

I genuinely don't have a problem with this
They haven't said players will now refuse to sign anything and the items are signed by the whole squad. We did this years ago with signed items in about 2005
The video message is a nice touch but I can imagine the manager getting tons of them to do and the rest of the squad kicking their heels a bit

Price point is way off.
Giving someone a shirt signed by the worst Charlton team of all time with an accompanying video from Chris Gunter (worst player in worst Charlton team of all time) could work as mildly amusing, ironic joke.
However not for £175 - You can get "Minty" from Eastenders for a fraction of the price. https://www.cameo.com/mr.c.p?nodeId=actors/tv/eastenders&nodeType=category0 -
The personalised message ones are cheaper than Naked Martins.0

Agree about the pricing but it isn't something I'll be spending money on anyway so for me that becomes a case of things being worth what someone is willing to pay for themMickeyBennett said:Price point is way off.

Some people wouldn't think twice about paying £250+ for a pair of designer trainers, others would laugh at the thought of spending that much. This isn't really any different.0

Don’t say that Offie, they’ll put the prices up!Off_it said:They will make, what, £10k max out of this if they sell everything?
Just comes across as tin pot and a bit cheap.0 -
I really don’t get the issue. People collect shirts, they also collect signed memorabilia. Seems a nice idea to sell them with Xmas around the corner.1

So is she the fans spokesperson, or the person with the loudest voice ?. Is this poll set up on request of fans, or is she using her position to be the loudest voice in the room ? Genuine questions.0

I would presume the purpose of the tweet/vote is to gauge a reaction and if necessary feedback to the club.shine166 said:So is she the fans spokesperson, or the person with the loudest voice ?.

Don't really see a lot of difference between this and the shirt sponsorship scheme to be honest.5

Maybe this is to make up the money spent on the handbooks sent out to all early bird season ticket holders, a couple of months back 🤔0

Let’s hope we don’t lose today or this thread will descend into further faux outrage.0

Then in reply to his own comment, says a friend dropped a shirt off at training a few weeks ago and it was signing for nothing.Scoham said:
It's simply faux outrage like most other things these days. If you live near the ground, drop a shirt off. If you live 100s of miles away, purchase one online for a bit extra.
Simple as that2 -
It's the actions of a big club, being carried out by a club currently below the likes of Morecambe, Shrewsbury and Accrington.
The timing is way off.0 -
Faux Outrage? I don’t think anyone is expecting the commercial director to get 100 lashings. It’s just the price structure is a bit wanky that’s all.5
