Screw the fans or optimise every possible revenue stream? The reality is every business needs to do the latter, and every customer thinks that the former is happening…valleynick66 said:Screw the fans for every possible penny.
I have no issue with this - if people that want to buy signatures or signed items, that’s there choice.The only issue I would have is if the players were prevented from signing stuff, when asked, for free, as has always been the case.0 -
Does this mean the players won’t give their shirts to kids after the games anymore. If so a bit crap really.0

Will there even be much demand for this? It's not like these are prem players. Very different for a kid to get an autograph in person to buying them online.2

Very little demand, and demand there is could have been done a lot closer to home than outsourcing it to a faceless 3rd.partyTalal said:Will there even be much demand for this? It's not like these are prem players. Very different for a kid to get an autograph in person to buying them online.5 -
Good luck to them trying to sell signed items of a team that finished 16th in division 1. I've been trying to sell a signed Salim Kerkar picture for the last 5 years. Inbox me for a price3

If fans have the time to wait around, the players would normally have gone home by around 6.15 so you can get the autographs that way on stuff that you would prefer to be signed.They are always very obliging.0

Oh goody another thing for the negative nancies to use against the club1
-
To my knowledge and if I’m wrong then please correct me but the museum have been done this sort of thing for a while now.Why not get them more involved and all money stays within the club.
Why get an outside agency involved where they will be taking a percentage.
The club were inviting people to join a working group for ideas for the club shop a week or two ago
Would not this be one of those ideas?5 -

I'm biased but there were perhaps better options.
There are issues about the credibility and legality of this firm which @cafc999 is right to point out.
If this is in addition to the usual access fans and others have to getting pics, shirts etc signed at games or, as last season, at special signing sessions, then so be it.
If fans, and small Charlton related charities, are denied such access to give this apparently non-legit company exclusivity then that is poor from the club and from the Fan Adviser for backing it.3 -
Some of my fondest childhood memories were scrambling for autographs outside the players lounge at Selhurst. You could bunk into the players lounge through the fire escape. My poor dad had the patience of a saint, he would wait outside in all weathers while I spent time with the players. On one occasion, i'd been missing for some time, my dad somehow got into the lounge to find me sitting at a table with Garth Crooks and his wife.

We'd have happily discussed working with the club on such a deal if we'd known that they were looking for one but we didn't.
Again, I'm biased but I think we would have done it cheaper and better as we know the market and our overheads are lower.
Agree about the shop working group, this would have been just the sort of issue to discuss there but too late now.1 -
This should have been a really easy thing to do but as ever, the club seem to shoot themselves in the foot again.
If you cannot do easy, then you have no chance in doing hard2 -

Once again " communication" appears to be lacking.3 - Sponsored links:

Agree dont like the signs, but it is great for the kids when the odd player comes out the blue to chuck em a shirt or gloved, especially they away ones when they have travelled a long way to watch the usual shit or a suprising winDaveMehmet said:
