Heard last years event was a great success, however feel this year the price will put a lot of people off, myself included. Especially given the fact we face Inverness away the night before too. Doesn’t seem great value for money either considering it’s a paid bar at the event too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HamCam Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 The pricing is out-with the reach of most 'ordinary' fans especially for those that require to hire for a black tie event. Fair enough if you are targeting a 'commercial' market but an end of year awards event should be for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Toby Posted March 25 Popular Post Share Posted March 25 Throw in a potential, but unlikely play-off campaign which in the best case scenario could stretch to six games that aren’t on the season ticket and then take into consideration that this is the first summer in a generation that a lot of the support are keeping every penny for a trip to a major tournament and I can see the club forced into a bit of an embarrassing climb-down on this. These things aren’t really my scene now I’m a bit older, and I didn’t attend last year but that event seemed quite popular with a lot of the support- although I seem to recall criticising the price at the time. I saw someone saying the price has doubled this year! If it was a free bar you could maybe understand, but it doesn’t sit easy that a fan-owned club is pricing out the rank-and-file for what should night of mutual appreciation for everyone’s efforts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alibi Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 That sounds outrageous. Firstly, they should be stating the price inclusive of VAT as most folk won’t be VAT-registered and so won’t be able to recover the VAT. Secondly unless the event has been seriously upgraded since last year, a price increase of around 140% is indefensible. I know they want to make a profit but at those prices I can’t see many takers. "Any nation given the opportunity to regain its national sovereignty and which then rejects it is so far beneath contempt that it is hard to put words to it."

Jamie_M Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 Looks like they've made a quick adjustment already. £99 plus VAT changed to £99 inc VAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A step in the right direction but still tone deaf to many fans in Inverclyde who are experiencing a cost of living crisis. I remain to be convinced this is the right message to be sending out for a fan owned club. Just seen the event is now no longer black tie. I can only assume the pushback to the original proposal has required a response. Edited March 26 by HamCam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tink Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Two climb downs in 24 hours - first the dinner is reduced from £99 plus VAT to £99 including VAT, and now changed from black tie to formal. Add that to the “unforeseen circumstances” for delaying the AGM and things don’t appear to be going too well at Cappielow. Does nobody check things before they go public?

Toby Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I wonder if the unforeseen circumstances surrounding the rescheduling of the AGM were that the notice was provided to shareholders on 19th March, which is less than the required 14 days notice required for a 28th March meeting. I may be wrong, as my knowledge of company law is somewhat limited, but I believe the new date of the AGM now falls out with the required ten month timescale from the date of the accounts, which would have been 31st May 2023.

International shipping is a flat rate of 20 quid so I loaded in more stuff to make it 'worth it'. Had I not seen this I wouldn't have done it. I have personally funded the George Oakley extension. A mere six days later everything is here. I will say the polo shirt is acceptable but not the best quality. The badge is reverse-sewn and the FC bit looks slightly dodgy as others have pointed out. It's thin material and feels very artificial. However, if you want to support the club, there's nothing wrong with it. Just don't expect bespoke craftsmanship. The rest of the tat is fine, if clearly high-margin (for example the actual magnet on the fridge magnet is tiny and I reckon a stiff breeze would knock if off the fridge) and again if your aim is to support the club I recommend it, but if you're looking for top-quality items to last a lifetime, this isn't it.

Is that what we have to reduce ourselves to if we are having a 150 year knees-up? Sitting about in Tesco clobber? Seriously, Fuck that.

Oh aye.....100 bucs for the night plus bevvy and you want people to pay another 100 to dress "smart". What a pile of shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
