Buy and print t-shirts for a fiver, sell em for £20. There are a lot of people that wear Leicester merch on race night at BP. I've stood there and watched people shell out £25-£30 for tour t-shirts at music concerts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
False dawn Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 I know I'm the resident nerd but I have what I think is a very pertinent question...... Issue 11 of the Championship declarations shows Dan Thompson's new average, 6.05, effective 28/7/21. This means Dan can continue to ride at reserve this Saturday vs Poole and at Plymouth next Tuesday. However, checking the rules, Dan's new average should become effective 7 days after the last qualifying meeting (Eastbourne last Sunday 18th July). On that basis Dan will be in the team at Plymouth. I'm guessing the effective date of 28/7/21 is a mistyping of the 25/7/21. But the difference in dates could make a big difference to the result at Plymouth. [And just to prove I'm not infallible. I just proofread the above and I'd typed Dan's new average as 60.5. With that average we'd definitely win the league ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See what ya mean m8, I think we had triple/treble champions put on some hoodies after we won in 2006 or 2009. Maybe worth asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a point I'm trying to make that the club are doing nothing to "cash in" on their success and get a bit of extra money in the coffers... you generally see quite a lot of folk at Leicester wearing other club merchandise, so I would suggest there is a market for it.

LCFC T shirts celebrate winning 2021 FA cup. Tour T’s reflect current tour of band. unfortunately COVID wiped out the opportunity Lions had to cash in with Merch. Frankly doing something now would appear out of date from the off - unless of course the year was not actually included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done to Stuart Dickson for his praise of Poole in his post-meeting comments - especially after his previous disparaging remarks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For £1 you get all you need the racecard for the meeting you don't need to spend £3 on a interview you read on the internet 3 days beforehand IMO a race card for £1 is all you need for speedway nowadays, I get a programme at Berwick each week turn to the race card section and never bother with the hackaty hack in-between. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different clubs have different income streams. Some clubs who only rent their facilities only have income from Sponsorship, admissions, programme sales and advertising while all catering , bars and car park income goes to the stadium owners along with (in many cases) a hefty rental fee!!

But the fact remains & something you don’t seem to accept despite being told a number of times now is the club are not responsible for the merchandise . The club make nothing from the sale of merchandise so have no interest in what they do & don’t sell. Contact Jbea designs regarding your issue with the lack of merchandise or will that not suit your agenda of a vendetta against the club.

Why on earth are the club not responsible for their own merchandise? Why would they not be interested in promoting their success? I have no vendetta against the club, don't be so melodramatic, I just point things out that I think could and should be done better. Hoping that somebody might take the ideas on board and start promoting the club. But all I get are responses from people on why stuff can't or shouldn't be done. I don't know if you've noticed but there's room for another few thousand people in the stadium but I suppose you enjoy it there being only 25% full? What I don't understand is why a certain number of people on here think the club is totally beyond constructive criticism.

It's something that has been prevalent at many clubs in this sport for years I'm afraid. If you continue to ask pertinent questions you will very likely get the next old chesnut "Well if you don't like it don't come".Yet they still can't understand the damage that is caused by their comments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
