Sorry if its been posted before but mine came this morning. It's an impressive publication which must of cost a few bob to put together. Did anybody else get one?

AFCCOVENTRY · Mar 10, 2012

The best way to avoid reaching for the top shelf in a newsagent is to get it posted

Skyblue4u · Mar 10, 2012

:facepalm: only wankers at the ricoh are the owners. Maybe I should of mentioned in was a ccfc magazine

Yeah, 3 minutes ago.

It looks nice. Very nice. Unfortunately, its gonna take more than glossy magazines to help this club.

I like the Welcome message on Page 5:

We Are Strong. We Are Proud. We are Coventry. Together, We Will Rise Again.

Been waiting for our ascension back to the Premier League for over a decade now. If anything we'll be attempting to 'rise again' back to the Championship next season.

Yes, my thoughts is that the PR men are in overdrive to counteract all the goings on this season.

Being the cynic that I am, iIt reads as one big guilt trip because they know sales won't be so good for 12/13.

Page 25 for instance;

all income generated by CCFC retail goes straight into the club and helps fund the First Team and the Academy

Yeah, just got mine. Apparently, if I buy a season ticket this week, I get an exclusive early bird scarf, badge, and a £20 gift voucher for CCFC! Oh, how they go the extra yard....

What else do you want them to do - foot massage, blow job, complimentary sandwich?

I read it that way too but further on when it gives you a diary like page, it seems you only get one of the three, each having their own deadline. First is the voucher, then the scarf, then the pin. Well that's how I read it anyway.

It is an impressive brochure, but I read somewhere it was made in house so I doubt it would cost as much as I initially thought. It was always going to be award winning though as it was by the bloke who creates our award winning match day programme

Paxman II · Mar 10, 2012

Printed in house? Wow they must have some great print works set up which i doubt very much!

To develop this and bring to print would cost at least £1.50 each to produce....and that would be a highly discounted rate at that. Assuming they have posted these to some 15 thousand fans which would include 10k season ticket holders and people who have registered online when buying a ticket (as even my son got one and he only ever bought a ticket online once!) - then even at that low rate without factoring in labour it has cost the club a small fortune to do. As much as £50k with the postage.

How the hell is that justifiable and possible?

After listening to those numpties on the radio yesterday why am I not surprised by this?

torchomatic · Mar 10, 2012

Yes, I got one this morning. Addressed to "Coventry City Supporter".

I thought that was odd to, why no use of names?

Unless they decided to send one per address, as opposed to per supporter

Nick · Mar 10, 2012

I got 2 through! I have ordered with 2 email addresses so have 2 accounts with them! Should have really done 1 per house!

sw88 · Mar 10, 2012

Me and my old man are ST holders and we only got one copy.

That proves my point exactly. Utter numpties. wasteful management in the extreme.

I would definitely buy one!

Does a glossy magazine really warrant this kind of analysis?FFS, sometimes it seems no matter what the club do, some people just can't wait to find a flaw and lay into them, normally entirely without fact as well.

Given that:

It cost money to print which
We don't have a lot of which is
One of the reasons were on the verge of playing 3rd tier football, then
Yeah.

If we were mid-table, the response to the mag would be very different.

kingharvest · Mar 10, 2012

Oh right, forgot a magazine had something to do with us being at the bottom.

Do you really think we'd print it if we couldn't afford it? clearly there is a budget to do this.

As I said, lots of speculation about stuff that no-one really knows the details of.

Just seems that out of everything that's happening at the club,owning about a magazine which is pretty good is a bit pointless

torchomatic · Mar 10, 2012

We are too and we got one each. Odd.

Im guessing your picture appears on pages 54/55

But with a £20 voucher and a scarf (they can keep the badge) I think that makes mine cheaper than last year assuming we are in the championshiip.

TheParsonsHose · Mar 10, 2012

Very good publication IMO.

Jack Griffin · Mar 10, 2012

I skimmed through it & thought it was very professionally done, but it was never going to influence me in any way, I'm not renewing next season.

I've kept it for the moment, it has a lot of details I may want to refer back to.

Paxman II · Mar 10, 2012

£50 grand? to entice people to renew when we don't know what league we are in?

I see we can't afford a fitness coach though...

Priorities...something this club knows nothing about.

Ha! No, just trying to be rational

Macca · Mar 10, 2012

What with the pretty colours and stuff it really softened the blow of this season for me

la-ccfc · Mar 10, 2012

I looked at it this morning and my first thoughts were, why are we spending all this money on a brochure when you only need a leaflet, offering free gifts to entice people to buy a season ticket which has gone up, but if they didn't do all this the season ticket could be cheaper.
