[saintdooley]

Records this year have gone up again, this year to $5

just thought i would let you all know

[Enrico_Misso]

Rip Off

[battye]

That $5 could go towards half a chicken roll!

I've only been to Telstra Dome once (2006 for an ODI), what do chicken rolls cost now? I seem to remember it being quite expensive?

[clarky449]

I wonder how much the 'super' dogs will be

[saintbrat]

I wonder if my re cycle options will continue with that price?/

i would say you would need to get the cheque book out to buy something like that, but im not too sure. i get a foot long from subway outside, that fills me up for the day and night, for only about $7 also.....$7 would get you a grain of salt for your chips inside the ground

Thanks for the info, dools.

That's a rip off-20%increase. Why don't they just make it a bit smaller and charge less. Half the stuff in it is guff that you can read on the internet.

[goodie]

Records have been a rip-off for ages. Makes you long for the days when records were written for each individual match rather than the massed produced blather with a few pages on the specific game.

[bozza1980]

$5 is ridiculous.

Well I guess that is one less weekly expense.

[evertonfc]

Bring back the days of cutting the 'record' out of the old Herald.

Fantastic...all you needed and nothing more.

And without the crap fluff pieces that bore everyone to tears.

I gave it the chop when it went up from $1....

Never heard of that and I'm over 60.

I can remember it being six pence.

I'm not that old!

But they neatly folded into your pocket in the Moorabbin days. Sure, they left your newspaper in ruins but it was certainly worthwhile.

Then in about 1993, they went to full-page editions, nobody liked them for being so cumbersome and that was the end of that.

Are you talking record? Or just a Players list printed in the paper?


Records have been around a lot longer than 1993!!!

Now Records used to smaller yes...but you still boaght them froma kid outside and were not free in the paer.

Exactly....

There is so much cr@p in there IMO

Does anyone have a link to a site that displays the team list, with numbers, on a round by round basis???

I would just print that out each week and take it to the match

[FraserGehrig]

Pretty sure it cost $7 down here in launnie for the tigers hawks pre season game!

The Football Record was introduced in 1912 when player numbers were introduced. The Record was the only publication that was allowed to print players numbers. That's why you had to have one back in the day.

There was a very short period where the Herald or the Sun published player numbers and the VFL made teams send players out with different numbers each week. It may have been in the mid 70s.

the sun published the guernsey numbers on the eve of the 1958 grand final, prompting the vfl to order melbourne and collingwood not to wear their regular numbers. this was done to protect footy record revenue.

hence barassi wore no. 2 instead of his famous 31. in fact, every player except for collingwood's ray gabelich wore a new number and gabelich probably would have changed, too, had they been able to find another guernsey big enough.

apparently in the 1965 grand final, six st kilda players and five essendon players wore different numbers after a sydney-based company published a booklet that contained the guernsey numbers of all the finalists.

The price had to go up so they can pay Demetriou his $1,800,000 salary.

$35,000 a week has to be paid by somebody and you have been selected.

Same - haven't bought one since.

[saintspremiers]

They aren't expensive compared to programmes at other events, but still a rip off indeed.

I used to collect records back when they were around $1 or $1.50 each, had over a hundred of them.

It's all AFL endorsed propoganda, why read AFL spin when you can get more meaty copy from the papers or on here?

Times have changed.

Not The Record per se - ie: the Geoff Slattery publication - but like a custom, mini-record, made by the Herald (I think) that was distributed on a Saturday morning. You used to cut it out and then, if you could be bothered, staple it together.

That's probably too much hard work for this generation. I still bring rolls and water bottles to the footy
