irnbru Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Might have been mentioned elsewhere but adding the half time draw into the same purchase as the stream is another improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TRVMP Posted December 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2020 I've enjoyed Gerry and Andy and the broadcasts immensely but I'm not buying anything from Morton until the Raes have gone. Enough is enough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) https://www.gmfc.net/christmas-at-cappielow/ Good to see some advertising, even if it is a bit late. One thing I did note is vouchers for hospitality which are valid for a year. Effectively taking money away from the club next season as the new owners would be expected to honour them, when the money has been banked under the current ownership. Maybe it's the cynic in me, but is that a bit sneaky? Edited December 15, 2020 by Stevie Aitken's Love Child Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be flogging next season's season tickets next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price of most football related merchandise is a rip-off but fans buy it. Morton though make little effort on the merchandising front hopefully that is one area MCT look at to increase income assuming they commit.

Dunfermline £5.99 Falkirk £10 Hibs £9.99 St. Johnstone £9.99 That’s the Scottish clubs that appeared on my Twitter feed first whose websites I checked. It would appear some rip off their fans more than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a rip off at this time of year, but worse still, a crowd of us went to hospitality for the first home game of the season a number of years ago and we were offered a calendar at full price in August. It was pointed out that more than half the year had passed and why was it still full price. There's some really nice pictures in it was the answer.

You wonder if there'd be more profit in lower prices across all the merchandise. I sometimes jump on the website for a look but I can't bring myself to fork out some of the prices for things I don't particularly like or want, but would probably otherwise purchase to support the club. Especially at the moment with unbranded shite. https://www.smithsofgreenock.co.uk/Morton-Puffa-Jacket-Best-Seller-p192817956 - 65 quid ffs.

Absolutely - the entire range is absolutely overpriced. 14.99 for a calendar is indeed a rip-off. I wonder if it's related to Smiths ordering / supplying on behalf of Morton and both parties trying to make sure they receive a margin on each product, which in turn drives up the price. As always, I'm not surprised they can't get this kind of thing right...it really shouldn't be this difficult.

RealTonKid Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I see Smiths are still trying to flog the League Cup semi scarves from over four years ago. I can’t see how they manage to shift merch at those prices. They have the old home shirt on sale for £29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: I checked it out, it's not even a 'Puffa' jacket. It's that 'est1874' brand crap. Puffa were a brand which were popular in the early to mid nineties. Even Morton's commercial partners manage to 'Morton' things. Edited December 16, 2020 by capitanus *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Hence it was something I looked out. The calendar was £8 a week or so into the new year anyway, so I suspect the same will happen this year. I’m afraid I’ve had it with merchandise now though. I’ve got my season ticket so will continue to get the stream anyway, and if we have any home cup ties I’ll buy them as not to would just be cutting off my nose to spite my face, but nothing else. I e-mailed the club yesterday seeking a refund of £89 for my part of our hospitality for the cancelled Dundee United game that was going to be carried on after fans return, and would urge you to do the same. I’m just not prepared to line his pockets any more than I have to now. The way things are going anyway, MCT might well own the club by the time we return to grounds so they’d merely be honouring Crawford‘s debt, as has been suggested further up the page.

TRVMP Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Normally I'd be asking Santa for some Morton tat but this year I'm not bothering. My family can save a bit on postage to the US, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be the Sheffield United and Scotland ones this year, both priced at a reasonable £9.99. Edited December 16, 2020 by Toby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
