Guest Bulgaria Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 The sheer price of football shirts are a telling statement that most clubs couldn't give a flying Fxxk about their fans. Disgraceful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I think your expectations are way too high... especially from DC and crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more so when he rolled them out (late) and ended up charging more. Out of touch when it comes to business. Out of touch when it comes to the fans/customers of this club. I did question at one of the fans forums as to why, if this was such a good idea how come not many other clubs are going down this route? I got drowned out by those in the room who believed others clubs simply weren't as innovative as us! I liked the idea of not having to conform to the template designs that the big manufacturers roll out at this level but could see it might end up being more trouble than it is worth.

Green Calx Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 £60 for a football shirt is outrageous. The most expensive outside the Premier league and they're awful too. We haven't had a good kit since Chansiri started designing them with his kids. Last good kit we had was 2015 Sondico away kit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the last one (where Chansiri mocked United's team a few months before it got promoted to the Premier League) where the chairman said all kinds of whacky stuff that got a standing ovation from the usual sycophant brigade that always rock up just to shout at anyone asking a question - I asked a question of the chairman and said "What's the plan for Sheffield Wednesday moving forward?" He didn't have one He actually (and I'm not making this up) said Owlstalk should sponsor the North Stand My mate who came with me had left ten minutes into the meeting when Chansiri went on one of his usual opening 12 hour rants about how bad our fans are and how we never support him by buying Club1867 etc 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grandad Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 90% of all Steering Group meetings would end up with someone asking a question about something the club could be doing - only to be answered/shouted down by a dozen others about why it was a bad idea without the club even getting chance to respond. A complete waste of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imre Varadi's Conker Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I'm doing my own pricing for shirts. Gillingham - one ping pong ball. Luton Town - A picture of table mountain. Torquay United - 3oz of self raising flour and a good fistful of thyme. Manchester United - a poorly cat. Norwich City - A selection of 4 Meg and Mog books. Sunderland - Half an hour with Anne Widdecombe. Sheffield Wednesday - 9 pebbles and a life-sized plastic swan. Seems reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter. She moves from area to area each year (on a child's tricycle) hoping to spend the majority of it with the sellers. This year it would be Sunderland.

To be honest, even seeing kids wearing the full kit makes me cringe. It happens with football, cricket, NFL, Baseball, Basketball, Rugby and probably far more in other countries than here. Some other countries are quite big on it, it’s commonplace People just wearing the shirt of something they associate with. More inclusive than a bunch of blokes turning up in stone island I guess, init? And no, I’m not one to turn up to games etc in a replica shirt. In fact I probably cringe at that thought too, but after some thought maybe I’m the one who needs to change my outlook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
