2004/5 DVD

Out on Saturday and by the sounds of it, it's gonna be good. Comments from Martin on every match and a month by month review. Should make a nice change from merely linking each match by "and so to ..." with no idea of where we are in the league, who's been signed or sold, who's injured etc. I still wince at the 1996/7 video where there is no explanation for why Nicky Forster suddenly stops playing for Brentford after the Man City cup game!

Looks good, but judging by most of our end of season round ups it probably won't be. At least this year's looks like it has a cover.

The FA don't allow online highlights of FA Cup games. They believe they can sell them themselves but it hasn't happened so far.

nowt would surprise me !

from the officiak site this morning ;

"We apologise to those fans who have ordered copies on line but have been unable to complete their purchase. We have strict financial regualtions in place at BFC due to our current predicament and didn't want to be left with copies on the shelf so we only ordered 100 copies.

We have placed an order for another 50 and we expect these to be back in stock by January/February latest."


:D

PG showed us an early version of the DVD on the coach to Chesterrfield. We didn't get to see all of it but it really is very good indeed and a quantum leap from some of the previous efforts. Highly recommended. I might even have to buy myself a DVD player :idea:

How much??? Bloody joke. I will still buy it though but £19.00 for a DVD. How much must it have cost to produce them? £1.00 per DVD ????

No, because the amount sold is not enough for a "commercial" run. I suspect BFC are paying around £6-8 per copy.

The man hours taken towards producing the compilation would be the same for a DVD for Manchester United - the difference is they sell 100,000 - us around 500 if we are lucky.

The club should also be capitalising on our on-the-field performances at the moment by converting video of previous seasons to DVD

Could someone burn them onto casette for my BetaMax?

More seriously, are you suggesting an act of piracy against BFC's retail revenue stream?

Even more seriously, the O/S comment is quite worrying, for two reasons:

1. This "strict financial regulations in place at BFC due to our current predicament...", seems to be a financial limit on store stock purchases which must equate to about £500. Or is it related to the 1st October date?

2. It indicates a lack of purchasing expertise in that, even within the "strict financial regulations in place at BFC due to our current predicament...", we could have ordered 100 (or other number) per month for 3 months, to capitalise on the Christmas market, with a continuation clause at the same cost. This would have given us the cash-flow advantage and probably a better deal. Do we have any professional retail procurement people out there, to give the club some advice?

no - I suggest you read it again in context.

I do like "The Gaffer's" comment on BUYING his own copy of this, dig at directors ST perks?
Also to get some of the youngest to hold buckets, anyone who knocks him for over spending............he is doing his bit as well lads :wave:

:cry: I have placed an order but I wanted it sent to my mum as she's coming out here in a month.

She lives in Jersey, but there's no option for channel islands or Jersey, so I had to choose 'Mainland UK'. Even though Jersey is an island very much removed from the mainland. :cry: So I'm gambling with the people at the post office working it out and people that work in the post office are often borderline retarded. It's worse than Hitler.
 

2004/5 DVD

Ordered online at 11:40 yesterday, arrived at 07:20 this morning.

Impressive service, well done Brentford!
 

2004/5 DVD

£18.99 isn't bad for a 4 hour double DVD when you consider it was often £15.99 for one VHS that was probably barely an hour, in previous years. Don't forget 10% discount for season ticket holders/whoever else gets discount, as well.

Looks like this may actually be pretty good, hopefully that'll mean we sell more copies!
 

2004/5 DVD

Got it today after ordering Thursday. Absolutely brilliant with MA's commentary.
 

2004/5 DVD

usual bfc cock ups,home commentator calling michael turner martin during one game and mixing up the goal scorers for the sheff wed game.nice bonus feature,good to see the great man who is so health consious enjoying kebabs.
 

2004/5 DVD

Congratulations to all involved very good indeed great bonus material and a running commentary from the man himself. Definately get it, however don't expect any footage from hudders away cause it ain't on there. Oh and you won't get a discount either with a season ticket
 

2004/5 DVD

Watched half of it this morning. Very impressed so far. Especially liked the shots of the Allen family after Deon scored at Hillsbrough and the story about Eddie's grandfather and the Vale game.

The New DVD

I just wanted to congratulate the club on a fantastic, brilliant product. Way beyond anything we've ever published before IMHO, with the only possible exception being the 100 years book.

The whole project has a real labour of love feel about it and MA's contribution is absolutely top class. Its brilliant. Riveting and truly inspiring in parts. I know many feel the same, but there's something inspirational about MA, something extra special, it goes beyond Football.

When he says 'and we'd have beaten them as well' about Man Utd in the FA Cup, there's something so persuasive, so motivating about him... well, who could argue. I'm not suprised the players believe.

Christ we played some good football last season.

Well done to one and all involved in this, its absolutely top notch. Much is written about the cock-ups and the things that could be done better at BFC, but here's an example of just how good we can be.

Congratulations BFC.

Up the Bees. :owusu:

It really is a cracking DVD and you do get a feel for the passion and commitment of the team.

Nice sofa by the way Martin. :)
 

2004/5 DVD

lil' FB was most impressed when he noticed that MA was using the same TV remote control as our one - "We've got the same telly as Martin!" rofl
 

2004/5 DVD

The commentary sounded like an actual football commentator too. Rather than an over exhuberant Bees fan or a bloke who does voiceovers for soap powder
 

2004/5 DVD

It's much better than previous season's efforts, and it was nice of Martin to provide the analysis. Am I mistaken or was there some cup footage missing? Martin talked about Hinckley home and away but there was no footage from either, and also the Hartlepool home game, though Martin did describe the "shoot Isiah shoot!" moment. Also the LDV was ignored totally, I suppose it was hardly a highlight of the season but still could have been included.

if you read the thread you may find that they were not allowed FA Cup footage due to licencing agreements :nono: (i think but cannot be bothered to check :wave: )
 

2004/5 DVD

They made a separate disc for the cup games which then didn't include them all. The Hinckley away match was on the Beeb - maybe they didn't allow it?
