Given that the clubs put in quite a lot of info into the game, I expect that the club get sent 20 free copies or something Sean? On sale at around £20 in a lot of places so seems sensible pricing by the club shop.

Just to be controversial I think you will find its the researchers who do most of the work in producing the information required for the game, even down to finances

Does that mean if they were being sold for £7.50 you'd only be making 50% profit and if they were being sold for £30 you'd be making 200% profit. I too am an economics graduate.

But I don't think Whitters is Ian, and so I understood that the percentage was of proceeds rather than as a mark-up on cost or a profit rate. My original question was trying to get behind the blatently obvious and was asking how something had been acquired for free.

my original guess was the same as gareths
i presumed the club have received several gratis copies as thanks for supplying vital info ( and rightly so)

Does the dialogue between Sean and IRJBA prove the old adage that if you laid all the economists in the world in a line they would't reach an agreement? Economics, 'the dismal proffession' - or is it accountancy? Now I've offended two sets of proffessionals, I'll get me coat

Whitters When did the club shop start selling them? Has this been advertised? I purchased from another source.....paid more for a copy......would have preferred to have seen STFC have the profit Another **** up by the club possibly? ?

A massively important point by Dale this, not in terms of beat the pro is such but in the wider context of the football club and fan groups. The most vibrant community/ organisation is an internet-based one. At least it has gone on from there and different people meet each other socially, through the away football team and other ways. But we should get the right vehicle together to translate that into a larger scale for the good of our Club, Shrewsbury and Shropshire.
