What did you mean by this then, in your reply to Coops? (and just FYI, I've worked for the last 14 years in sportswear branding - we're one of adidas's lead creative agencies and we've previously worked with Nike, Puma, New Balance and others - so I like to think I have a rough idea about it)

Depends if I liked the shirt or not. Your earlier argument was about buying a brand. That suggests you don't understand the basic point of a replica football shirt.

That's not why people buy it though, is it? I don't buy a replica shirt based on which brand manufactured it, I buy it because it's a Wednesday shirt. It's irrelevant to me if it was made by Nike or Elev8, and it's irrelevant whether it has Chansiri across the front or any other brand. The only thing relevant is that it's a Wednesday shirt, and if I like it enough and can afford it, I'll buy it.

Judging by what it days on the OS, yes. Doesn’t actually mention prices though, but presumably it’s the same.

I will be buying this.

Enough for it to be worth it when it comes to FFP? Like I asked before, if it’s such a no-brainer, why aren’t all clubs doing it?

I never said we shouldn’t do it. The opening post was suggesting it would be a money spinner that we could charge admission for. I was saying it’s probably not feasible if that’s the aim. I doubt Ipswich are making significant profit out of it.

They've been doing it outside the stadium though, and aren't charging admission.

Who'd we put out for the other 45..?

I think I can make out ten people in that photo. None of them are watching the screen.

You're suggesting the Megastore will have that many shirts available..?

Just did a quick search and found the line from the BBC: "If you're not charging admission, then we may be able to give you permission." Presumably that would mean it wouldn't be financially viable for a club to do a beamback of something that's already being publicly broadcast.

Do any other clubs do this for the World Cup? If not, how is it Wednesday who are missing a trick? Surely it would be every club in the country who's missing a trick. Or maybe clubs have thought of it before now and found out that it isn't feasible.

How much would it cost the club in rights to provide a beamback to potentially thousands of fans?
