Muz Posted 3 August 2004 Posted 3 August 2004 Can you remember when posted about my cousin being mascot well he just recieved another letter saying that you could not take a camera or a signature match.You have a photo with the player that you are walking out the tunnel with he doesn't know who he's getting yet. The correct word for what he is is a Escort It means you walk out with one of the players Well it's £6 for a photo and if you dont buy it you have no prrof of you being mascot! There always robbing the fans!
Scow Posted 3 August 2004 Posted 3 August 2004 It's not a surprise, is it? It's a farce that you have to pay £6 for a photo - Another case of the club ripping of the fans again.
ForeverBlue Posted 3 August 2004 Posted 3 August 2004 I am going to give you a different view on this. Our club nearly went out of business last year and disappeared forever! £6 isnt much to remember your day as a mascot. The club cannot afford to do the things they used to like freebies etc. Lets stop slating the club for 'ripping people off' and remember that the club needs money from its customers just like any other business.

Yes they do, and I'm not arguing about the business part. However, things like charging fans £35 to watch two Leicester City friendlies, £4 for a 40 page program for a meaningless tournament, crazy prices for food and drink, charging up to £40 for some matches this season.....The list goes on and on. I understand the club are trying to operate as a business, but some of the prices they are charging are unfair and out of reach to the average fan. By charging these type of prices, they're not demonstrating much business acumen....
dhermon Posted 3 August 2004 Posted 3 August 2004 TRUE very true but for 6 pounds give the kid a photo with the whole team at least thats not to much to ask for is it?
Muz Posted 3 August 2004 Author Posted 3 August 2004 He's Obviously gonna buy it! But when i was Mascot against Newcastle me mum took the camera and she took pics of me with the players!

Muz Posted 3 August 2004 Author Posted 3 August 2004 It was in 1999 i was 10! where do you sit in Walkers! Ive just changed my seat
Ricey Posted 3 August 2004 Posted 3 August 2004 It's one thing ripping off the average fan but it's another ripping off yound mascot on the biggest day of his life.
Pele Posted 3 August 2004 Posted 3 August 2004 The prices are wreckless all thet club does is want to take money away from us we never get much of them
andy_croydz Posted 3 August 2004 Posted 3 August 2004 i think the club has to charge this much because the more money they get the better players we can get and the more money that will go into mickys transfer fund i know it may be a lot of money sumtimes but understand from the clubs point of view that the way money is in the lower leagues now a days putting prices for cheap isnt going to help the club
Guest Daniel Posted 3 August 2004 Posted 3 August 2004 This is disgusting, a couple of years ago when we were in the premiership my brother was mascot. He took camera, got pictures with all the players from liverpool and leicester, a picture in the middle of the pitch and running out. We have them there now for excellent memories, this poor lads going to have one picutre that he had to pay for, terrible.
Guest Posted 3 August 2004 Posted 3 August 2004 The Club know they can get away with things like this, because they know us muppets will be back, regardless.
Hullfox Posted 3 August 2004 Posted 3 August 2004 If you go to Alton Towers or such places, you pay for photos. £6 isn't a great deal to ask in my view. Just because we never used to do it doesn't make it right or wrong. A wise man (or was it a drunk) once told me "if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got. We have to change things round and try different ways of getting more money into the club. Whether it's the right way or not will remain to be seen. As for £4 programmes and expensive tickets, exercise your right not to buy.
Oli Posted 3 August 2004 Posted 3 August 2004 If £6 aint a great deal then why are the club asking for it. Its terrible taht they are doing this.
