The commercial side of ccfc is really delivered by a tiny number of people who are not paid huge amounts and do a phenomenal job but links can and should be explored. Mark Hornby and Tynan Scope pretty much cover everythingCan we hire better product designers for the tat in the shop? What about a revenue share with independent designers who could submit stuff to be sold in the shop?
We’ve got lots of talented designers in the fan base (as well as that bloke who made the Robins flag).
Don’t know how we’d manage if we had 20000 plus attendances at the Ricoh to contend with. It’s why if we agree Ccfc if not the enemy then working together to get the best possible team on the pitch id a complete no brainerThe commercial side of ccfc is really delivered by a tiny number of people who are not paid huge amounts and do a phenomenal job but links can and should be explored.

Nor me I’m not creative and don’t buy a lot of stuff but others are and do. Mark especially is excellent working in partnershipMaybe just a section for fan designed stuff. Would be nice to get exposure to local business and expand the product line without too much investment from the club.
Also it’s wrong that I buy no merch from the club and get it all from third parties because it tends to be better designed or better quality.
Nick could stick a few t-shirts on the website, Evo some of his photo edits as prints, that sort of thing. I dunno.
The team has, the club hasn’t.What’s progress? Are you genuinely saying the club hasn’t progressed since robins took over as manager?
I’m not saying there aren’t issues but are you genuinely saying the club hasn’t progressed?

You know we agree about much more than we disagree on.Well it’s a bit like the captain of a cruise ship proudly showing off a newly furnished upper deck but not bothering to repair a great hole in the bottom
Still this like a club not owner thing so questions about the ground etc are not going to be answered - not that they would be anyway
Ifollow would be worth keeping after this season.Have asked Mark Hornby
On that note...Ifollow would be worth keeping after this season.

See if we're back to 'normal' and at St Andrews, I couldn't make most games. I also really didn't fancy popping along when they were talking about relaxing it this season.and it shouldn’t hurt attendances.

I'd have paid a bit more than the standard season ticket for guaranteed streamed games over the course of the season, however.
Nothing beats actually being there.I don’t think it would hurt attendances. But I do think they think that.
YepOn iFollow - could we get an update on how much the match passes etc have raised for the club so far? And an idea of virtual game attendances?
Obviously you'll have households watching on 1 match pass but at least gives an idea of support fans are providing in monetary terms, and would be great to increase awareness of that amongst the fanbase.
I think Boddy gave a brief update in his programme notes at the start of the season but not seen anything since
Don't think it would really impact attendances, people that enjoy going to a game will still go to games. Maybe if we've got a midweek game hundreds of miles away in the middle of winter it might put a few off but you can offset that by putting a bit more thought into scheduling fixtures.I don’t think it would hurt attendances.

Mmmmm, sounds a bit like the rebirth of the arm chair fan which was originally levied at Sky.Don't think it would really impact attendances, people that enjoy going to a game will still go to games.

Those in charge have the same mindset that we've seen in things like the music and movie industries. They believe everyone streaming is a lost ticket sale when the vast majority wouldn't go anyway. How many fans can't go to away games? If the club said I could watch all away matches for £250 every season I'd be handing over the money without a second thought.
True what’s your thoughts on away fans?Mmmmm, sounds a bit like the rebirth of the arm chair fan which was originally levied at Sky.
When fans are allowed back, Ifollow should return to overseas only and they need to prevent any streaming going on.
Why?
So fans actually attend the game
What makes you think iFollow stops fans going that rather than ensures casual fans don’t drift away, and ultimately become regular attendees?
Did attendances drop last season when iFollow was readily available to anyone with a VPN or Fire stick?

How about somebody who lives in Barnard Castle? How about somebody with childcare difficulties? How about elderly and immobile?That’s entirely different though from an official marketing live streaming service for games. It’s targeting people who go to games at that point - it has to have some impact on attendances

And of the wavering fans, what better way to encourage them to actually go than to show them what they're missing? It doesn't match the fully live experience, it just tries to replicate it. What better way to inspire an apathetic teenager whose parents won't take them but will shell out for streaming, to get a season ticket themselves when they're able to?
And if it's that big a deal, make it more expensive than an actual season ticket.
This is all a bit Metallica v NapsterProblem is you have multiple people in one home watching the game. You’d never be able to charge the cost of 5/6 tickets.
They need to crack down on VPN use as well
