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.

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

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

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).

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.

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

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

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.
