Roscoe P. Coltrane Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Following on from the classic videos thread I can't help thinking the club are missing a few tricks. Get the memorable games onto DVD and get them in the club shop League cup final. BDM,93 semi,will to win etc etc. Picture of Ronnie Starling holding FA cup get it coloured in Pictures from Southend game , player pics from 70's,80's,90's I'm sure there's plenty more others can think of. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWLERTON GHOST Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) Get every available film footage of games interviews etc .. get it remastered and let's educate the younger fan base.. We were actually quite good in spells all joking aside ..... The 79 cup marathon would be a good one if available .. Excellent O/p "Andy"....

punkskaphil Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I thought they re-released the League Cup Final a few years back (I'm pretty sure I bought a copy). Presumably it didn't sell enough to keep making it available. People can watch a lot of past footage on YouTube these days too, so I doubt it's really going to be cost effective to reproduce it all for the shop.

Let's just close the shop and not get any commercial income. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The markup on DVDs is immense, everything else there is just to get them into the shop with the hope they'll add a few DVDs to their basket. #marketing101 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if the club had a history of good profit from past DVDs then they'd be churning them out already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing our Commercial dept they probably re-released the one we lost to Arsenal instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can all access poor quality images for free online . But in the age of Cinema spec TV and sound systems Remastering is all the rage at the moment ...

I just can't see many of our fans buying it - at least not enough to make it a decent earner for the club. If the commercial side starts to do well and profits are up then I could see them looking into it as a luxury, but not until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so what about getting Techno wizard from I.T to sift through available footage and clean it up and get it on that big TV in the ground .. There's no older footage played on any "montage" during match days .. Get that Boxing Day match rammed down them scrubbers pre match when they darken our front room... That Big Tele isn't bring used to its full potential. That's a start at least .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
