But they sold them all last year- the home tops anyways so if they sold them for less they would have made less money. A replica football shirt is hardly an entitlement. Just wear last years it’s better anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdan2003 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Be interested to see what other clubs do. West Brom shirt was 55 quid last season, as was Norwich. Sunderland’s were 50 quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been same price for past two seasons. I have to say that £59 or £65 is bloody expensive, I'm a bit undecided whether to get one but I'm off to Tenerife next week and I'd like to spread the word in the new shirt. It states when we were last in the championship - Previously in the Championship, our shirt pricing had been held at £59 for an adult short sleeve shirt, though due to increased operating and manufacturing costs, these will increase to £65 (including 20% VAT) for the 2023/24 campaign. I'm not trying to be negative about the club but they've worded it to look as though it's only £6 increase when it's actually £13. Same with the next phase of season ticket sales not showing a grid with the current prices because they know deep down its more expensive than it should be.

Jon Adam Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Either way in a cost of living crisis, food will always come before a shirt that'll change in 12 months. Ridiculous pricing, particularly when you can't/don't work, will price a lot out of going as much as they'd like to and expecting us to pay £130 for both shirts is plain ludicrous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did it took a Wembley appearance to get them sold out, there were loads buying them in the days before the play off final. Last time I went in the shop, which would've been to collect tickets for the Peterborough away play off game, there were tons of them still on display. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopefulOwl Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) They claim the reason for increasing price is increased supplier and manufacturer costs yet I'd assume the same manufacturer supplies all other clubs such as Stoke as said above. All we've done is mark it up by more than they have.. another cracking decision. Edited June 12, 2023 by HopefulOwl 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't or don't work I doubt people would be able to afford one at £50 never mind £65. When I was not working in 1990s I never bought one when they first came out, I always waited until they were selling them off at end of season, frequently paid less than £10 for one. They never get reduced in price like that anymore unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying that if they did it was only in exceptional circumstances, i.e. the play off final, you're saying they sold out at last season's prices as if they were like rocking horse s__t all year. It took Wembley to shift all of the ample remaining stock to all those going to their first game of the season, so that doesn't mean we'd have sold the same number all season if they'd been £65.

Effective promotion has lead to increases prices as long as people pay it then they will keep doing it. This is an 10% increase from last season.

g-owls Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 It's a lot of money, especially if you've got kids in your ear asking for a new shirt. But... In 2000 I paid £40 for the new shirt (Chupa Chups) Now according to a Bank of England inflation calculator, that £40 in 2000 is today £70.92. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
