fpowl Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I get it’s expensive but so is modern day living what I would say is the kit is nice I understand the St George Flag crisis it’s a World Cup year going into the tournament in which we have a very serious chance of success it’s the cost of filling you car up a couple of times it’s not end of world and it’s not a weekly fee.

scilly owl Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 A nylon top made in Thailand for £130 !! With Nikes buying power plus the volumes that they order I can guarantee that they will be buying that in at £5.00 delivered. The factory would have quoted them £12.00 and they would have said “ it’s a fiver or we’ll go to the factory down the road “ That product right there sums up what’s wrong with our national sport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But have you factored in the losses incurred when they get stuck with shed loads of them, after Southgate messes up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musn't Grumble Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 On 23/03/2024 at 11:25, room0035 said: I hope the fans boo the numpty's, but the FA understand sport, football fans on the whole are very gullible, they buy a new shirt every season with very little change from the last one, they buy club merchandise for 300% more than the like for like goods would cost without the club badge. Nike change the flag and no one is talking about the eye watering price, they are focusing on the flag. It will probably now be the excuse why Southgate again fails at a major tournament. Very simple no one buy the shirt Nike and FA will get the message but i suspect they will still be bought. I think that experts call it "Exploiting the (in)elasticity of the demand curve"... In other words, if the price goes up, the loyalty of the customer outweighs any reluctance not to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidstoneowl Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 The £125 England shirt is (sadly) selling and "almost gone". To me, it sums up everything that is and has gone wrong in football. It's a £10/unit garment made in a Chinese sweat shop sold at an abhorrent mark up. Couldn't be ars3d to watch the Brazil v England game, will even be struggling to get remotely excited about the Euros this Summer. £125 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play a decent team and we lose, don’t even start me on Maguire. He must have some serious shizzle on Southgate to get picked. He has the turning circle of the Bismarck and I’m talking now, not when it was floating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
