lcfcliam Posted 28 June 2013 Share Posted 28 June 2013 I saw a few people mentioning a season review dvd for last season but I emailed the club and they told me they won't be making one for this season? God knows why! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God knows why! Probably because you can view all the highlights on Foxesplayer and they'll want you to sign up for that. I guess also past experience might tell them that there's little or no profit in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems a bit strange considering we have had a DVD for every year but the one year we actually make the play offs and have a relatively good season they decide not to make one!

Kitchandro Posted 28 June 2013 Share Posted 28 June 2013 I can't imagine why many people would want to watch it tbf. I mean ok there are some good games/goals on there but it would just make such a depressing watch on the whole. I tape highlights off the TV every season and I'm probably just going to tape over this one. The season reviews are so poorly made these days and combined with how fed up people are of this league I'm not surprised they don't sell many.

Fox92 Posted 28 June 2013 Share Posted 28 June 2013 Disappointed in that to be honest. I've got most of the DVDs (all the season reviews) that the club release. People may say what's the point in watching it, but I like to look back at the season sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Year Of The Fox Posted 28 June 2013 Share Posted 28 June 2013 That's ****ing shit. Ok there's the heartbreak at the end but Jesus Christ the forest away game?? ****ing ridiculous IMO. Wouldve loved a feature of that match. Wankers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCFC FOX Posted 28 June 2013 Share Posted 28 June 2013 Guessing they will only make them from now on if something good happens in the season. Thats the only time I will buy one anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterpool Posted 28 June 2013 Share Posted 28 June 2013 Shame there a good thing to collect, plus not all of us have got foxes player. I think if people keep emailing in and asking about it they will probably bring it out after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Year Of The Fox Posted 28 June 2013 Share Posted 28 June 2013 Fans would still buy the DVD if they brought it out. Purely for the quality of some of our performances and in particular goals. Pissed off really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford Super Sunday Posted 28 June 2013 Share Posted 28 June 2013 They didn't do one in 06-07 or 07-08. Despite the fact some don't like them, they're a way to preserve the history of the club season by season. I learnt 95% of what I know about Leicester in the 90s from the season reviews. Such a shame and while I fully understand the commercial aspect of producing a DVD it does feel a bit like they're airbrushing the history (moreso 06-07 and 07-08). Since 07-08 I've been keeping my own collection of LCFC footage just in case they didn't bring out a DVD. (I am aware it's tragically sad). And the Foxesplayer argument is invalid for now. They need to get out of the contract for the provider of the service and give us footage which is far superior to the 464kbps video we get at the moment first.

RonnieTodger Posted 28 June 2013 Share Posted 28 June 2013 Maybe if they stopped making LCFC Gnomes, sweets and Biscuit Tins, they might be able to bump out a few more DVDs. A bit annoyed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Levein, Rob Kelly, Martin Allen, Gary Megson and Ian Hollowhead were all in charge between 06-08, can't blame the club for not making a DVD during that time!

Walshy5 Posted 28 June 2013 Share Posted 28 June 2013 Shame really because i always get them. But then you can understand the thought proccess behind it.

The opposition goals (yes, sometimes it's nice to put a match on context) and a better quality of footage? I'm not complaining as it was free but you'd have to be barmy to consider that a 'season review' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugo Sanchez Posted 30 June 2013 Share Posted 30 June 2013 Prefer my DVD's to have a Happy Ending. But they made a video review of the 92/93 Season and that ended with us losing to Swindon in the play off final and that was just as nasty as that Watford game.

There's always a bit of pride when watching that though. The defeat is more gallant. You can't be ashamed of being robbed after one of the most memorable comebacks ever. Whenever I think of the Watford games I just get pissed off with us for being such tossers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Year Of The Fox Posted 2 July 2013 Share Posted 2 July 2013 This annoyed me so much as to email Jim.. Hi Jim cheers for the reply. I understand it was out of your hands anyway. Just wondering if you can pass on another moan. I'm astounded we aren't bringing out a season review DVD. Its actually criminal. Yes we all know how it ends at Watford, but we had a fantastic game. I for one would love to have seen the draw v Birmingham sending us top, the annual thrashing of Derby, the two 6 goal games in January, to say nothing of some absolutely stunning goals v Wolves, Forest, Huddersfield etc. Then the drama of the game against Boro which finally got fans believing after Kasper's save. Then the amazing game v Bolton at the end of the season. To say NOTHING of that game away at Forest. The club are missing out on some revue here big time in mine and many fans opinion. Whoever made the decision not to make one has made a big error! Stu Jim... Hi Stuart, Thank you for your email. I will pass your comments on regarding the DVD, I will be honest and say that this is to do with a huge drop in sales over the last few seasons with supporters looking more to the internet and downloading the goals as the season progresses. Nottingham Forest will live in the memory for the rest of my life, it’s a shame that we couldn’t get that on DVD either but I will definitely let the relevant people know your feelings. Kind Regards Jim Me.. I appreciate your honesty. Don't people in all these high up positions (who are supposedly a lot more intelligent than I a plumber) realise that not everyone is connected to the internet though? Maybe the drop in sales reflects in the quality of the DVD? (Not that I moan about that, any review is better than none) I assume by viewing them online you mean via Foxesplayer? I'm not having a go at you here, but I've heard its crap and a waste of money. It should also be free to STHs perhaps? However technology changes people still want hard copies of their own. Some people collect them. They make a very good present and something to look back on. I can't stand companies over reliance of the internet nowadays and this is basically another example. I do have Sky Sports and considering the amount of games that we were on TV last season I do have a considerable amount recorded. But they only have a short time span on the memory. In 5 years time when I want to look back on this season I'll have to revert to dodgy Youtube videos at best. Is it too late to get one done? Is it too late for them to do a Forest away special? Jim.. Hi Stuart, I have mentioned it to my boss and it should get mentioned at directors meeting so maybe something will come of it but as we speak it’s not happening. I was actually talking in general terms about downloading stuff, I haven’t seen Foxes Player to be honest it’s not something I would buy as I am at the matches so don’t need it. There are that many different ways you can watch the goals or action now but maybe we can do a downloadable version of the season that supporters can purchase and this is something I am looking into at the moment although it may not be possible, it’s definitely worth exploring. I will let you know if anything comes of that or the DVD. Kind Regards Certainly something to bring up at the next FCC IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Lass Posted 4 July 2013 Share Posted 4 July 2013 Brought it up at the meeting tonight Stu. Basically follows on from what Jim said. It's not cost effective for them to make them. Also this season half the home games were filmed in HD, the others weren't so it was felt that would affect the quality of the DVD. Next season all home games will be filmed in HD and the plan is to release a downloadable season review from places such at iTunes, which will be a lot cheaper than the usual DVDs. It wasn't possible to make a DVD of the Forest game only as there was only one camera feed for the game (due to it not being on TV), and the quality of that is really poor.
