Concerns about the direction of the club

Extortionate?

 

Have you actually stopped to consider how much money it must cost to cover a single away game - last night they had at least 6 cameras (which they probably rent), which means paying for 6 camera men, plus they'd need some kind of OB studio (again, probably hired), transport, catering, a producer and some production staff, insurance, the media team...

 

It's not just a bloke with a video camera, this is pro-broadcasting - it's extremely expensive.  All so fans of the club can get to see matches that, historically, would never have been broadcast.

 

If it's not in your budget, fair enough - but don't go throwing around words like extortionate when you clearly haven't considered the financial implication of the club providing this service.  unless of course you expect to have such luxuries provided to you for free?

Always knew the club had people posting on here to try and influence opinions.

I'm glad, as a City fan living in the USA, of the chance of seeing live games. However after all the good work the club has done over the years to win over fans, it does seem a bit of an own goal with how they are behaving lately. I am very critical of the decision to have a betting company as our sponsor gambling ruins alot of lives. Would the club be okay with a cigarette sponsor on the shirt if it was still legal, for example? I just get the feeling that they are starting to regard us as customers not fans. Also, club employees should not be.posting club propaganda on Foxestalk.

The Thai government owns the Thai tobacco industry (Thai Tobacco Authority), and posts fake research into harm reduction to perpetuate fag sales, so yeh I reckon King Power would be just dandy with Krong Thip sponsoring the shirt.

I'd be staggered if £10 was the optimal price point for maximising income from this service. Surely can't have had a huge take-up?

You simply have to be a King Power employee. There is no way someone can have such consistently bad opinions. You make Graham Brock look like a militant anti KPFC activist.

Tut-tut You're not allowed to show any dissent to the anti-club culture on FT.

I’ve long suspected he’s someone on the KP payroll.

Buzzing for another season in the Championship next year lads  

 

Good times at the KP are over, but we had a blast.

to say it puts leicester's communication etc to shame and DOF/DOS to shame is a total understatement

Twitter making them private did him a huge favour.

It was a pre season friendly, stick a veo camera up and live stream, most people would have been happy with that. Regarding the cost of a Veo camera, the club already has at least one. I’m sure Shrewsbury do too.

The friendlies have been on YouTube for free for the past 10 years haven’t they?

 

I did expect it this year as well to be honest. What a luxury.

 

All the camera equipment would probably be there anyway for their own analysis and social media stuff. You have no idea of the cost implications of just streaming it on their YouTube channel.

Most clubs are charging... the glorious friendly between Derby and Shrewsbury is £5 for a one off match. It would be nice if it was free, but if you expect stuff for free ultimately you'll end up disappointed. 

 

I have no idea how they work out the costings and amounts they charge. For all I or anyone else knows Shrewsbury only offered up their streaming services for a significant sum of money. Or it's just another poor money grab from the club again. 

 

I simply won't be paying it to watch what are usually boring rubbish games anyway.

Thankfully the in-bowl experience looks to be delivered radically by our team of match day enhancement officers. 

 

Now featuring American style cheerleaders and entire game length fan cam. For just £15.99 you can upgrade your ticket to the 'King Power  Fan's Club' where you'll recieve a link to download the fan cam for ONLY £4.50.  But that's not all - as KPFC paid members you'll also receive a picture of the Thai king so you can genuflect both at the game and at home. KPFC members will also be able to recreate the in-bowl dynagame fan engagement experience at home as they are permitted to keep the clappers when they leave. To ensure exclusivity we INSIST on non KPFC members surrendering their clappers.

 

And do not worry about safety. King Power acknowledge that the average fan is a piece of shit and don't want our new profile of fans to suffer in-bowl distresses when watching the ninety minutes of soccer match action experience. To intimidate and cow the great unwashed, three 'fan safety engagement perimeters' have been installed at choke points on raw dykes road. At each perimeter is an 18 year old to offer you assistance in recognising where the bowl is, an 'artefacts of interest and safety' officer who will check you aren't carrying anything in that damages your safety and the profit margins, and a retina scanner just to be safe. 

 

But safety doesn't stop there. You'll be held up in the bowls outer perimeter by ten minutes FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE. At the bowl's gates you'll be met by our team of multinational entry specialist operatives. They speak 247 languages between them. Here's hoping you get the right one! They will ensure your intra-bowl passage by showing you all the ways the phone ticket doesn't work before letting you in anyways. 

 

And remember - you can always snitch on your fellow fan by texting the grassline plastered all around the stadium. We take your safety SO SERIOUSLY Leicester fans that we think it would probably best you stayed away.

Thought I would add an example of a club doing something right: Luton have announced that they will now operate on 2-year cycles for their home kit. Would have liked to see them do the same for away and change kits, but it's a start.

Was just about to post the same.

 

Its things like this that truly show what you're all about. Not a free donut when you've had some staff work wonders to get you success.

I've always thought this makes commercial sense, I imagine there's loads of people who never buy a shirt with its life span being so short. There seems to be far fewer shirt wearers at games than there were 30 years ago when it was 3 year cycles.
