tarn owl Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 bought a kit when we got promoted, also bought one in 2006 for cheap the season after to jog in. now just have 1 retro kit I bought. wear that if I feel like wearing a kit. fair play if you want to buy a kit, more money for the club. some will have to decide not to buy due to price but same at all other clubs really. would be nice if Wednesday were the first to cap kits at £30, but not going to happen. the reason boycott the kit is out there Is because of the shambles that is happening at the club at the moment. Not just kit. ticket prices are a disgrace and costs of drinks, food and plaques etc. we should make more off sponsorship compared to ripping the fans off. personally I'd buy if it gives me good memories of a promotion season, at the moment the odds look stacked against that. unfortunately Wednesday are following the pack rather than trying a different way like Dortmund in Germany.

Mate you don't have to be a prat to be all Wednesday. A true fan follows the club through thick and thin, we will still be here long after DC has gone and if he continue to try and fleece the fans to pay for his and Carlos numerous error for the last 2 + a bit season then he won't be here for much longer. Maybe the Chairman should get his hand in his own pocket and pay for all the free advertising he has around the club on the shirts, on the stadium, on the advertising board then maybe we wouldn't be in the poo with FFP. But we are all Wednesday (shame the chairman isn't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issues to me is has the money been well spent, is the club being well run, are fans getting value for money. Would say no to all these 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoop Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Boycott the kit? Weve got expensive players sat in the stands to pay you know Or do you think we should pay Matias, Abdi, Kean and Vanancio with magic beans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you be so sure of this growing discontent? By all means rally the troops and storm Hillsborough! Sack all the staff and start again with real Owls fans who understand the complexities of how to run a business like a football club?

Vic Flange Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Given the problems with the kit and Chansiri taking it in house the OP has a valid point. It has a whiff of wee wee take about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Owl Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 It seems absolutely barmy from a commercial viewpoint, I can't think of one justifiable reason to charge those prices all things considered. I would LOVE to know how the revenue from these kits will compare to the out-of-house Sondico last season, but sadly I can't see this information being available. Also makes you wonder how much additional money we could have made by bringing it in house etc...if it wasn't complete shambles and been totally ballsed up! Guess we'll never know now.

They could have charged half the price and still made more money per shirt than on the Sondico deal. Pure greed. WTAF are they smoking at Hillsborough? And it's not even got bl33ding stripes FFS!!! Seriously, as fans we cannot stand for this any more we have to show our disgust. #boycottthekit Too late mate...the 10,000 boycotters have already ordered theirs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
