St Johns Centre & the Rhinos have had a partnership for a while with promotions etc in the main mall. This will have benefited their Lease and rent will be somewhat cheaper as the unit has been empty for a while now.

Oh I know what you mean.

Never been busier at work, mortgage down, petrol down and bargains to be had at failing retailers.

One mans' poison and all that.

if you have a fairly secure job, and no debt its golden times.

I wouldn't want to step foot in a shop related to LUFC, that's for sure.

Yeah you might get clouted again.

Happens often on football away days.

You might just have one of them faces. I think bull dogs have one of those faces. I always just want to punch bull dogs in their floppy cheeks everytime I see one.

"Hello rspca"

They'd just put you down lad.

Recently Bulls have been putting what there calling "outlets" in ASDA's around Bradford. Basically Bulls merchandise int supermarkets. What do we think to that idea? As people will be trying to avoid the city centre in these times of recession its a useful way of making club merch more "accessible!" Everyone needs to eat so a trip to the supermarket will always happen.Think it would ever work with Leeds or would more get thieved than they would bought. Im liking the shop in the St Johns though, I hope its a success.

We do have those 2 trailers in the SS carpark & back of the Cricket stand that are used to sell merchandise. Could be a good thought.

We Already have this in the Owlcoats ASDA in Pudsey.

I'm guessing a lot of it is how much ASDA are actually paying for the stock. ASDA's margin on clothing tends to be fairly high (to off-set the lower margin on food products) so I'd be interested to see how much Bradford are actually being paid from those sales.

Leeds did have a tie-in with JJB but, IIRC, their financial position has put the buffers on that current partnership.

I thought it was to do with our kit manufacturer no longer being Patrick

JJB have just got the new shirts in.

Ahh right, didn't realise. Can't say i go in that much, its like TK Maxx nowadays.

They had them in the window the other day so i thought i would go take a peak, cant see them getting much more of merchandise in imo, and cant see them selling much now seen as the rhinos store is in town now.

£39.99 for them though, with the new shop you might aswell buy direct from the Leeds store in the St Johns.

I got my old mans Leeds home shirt from that asda store at crown point last year, they had a smattering of items not great, but good enough for the odd impulse buy.

you can get match day programme from town centre shop as well! although i prefer to get mine from john in south stand car park !!

Rather get it a few days earlier, and then take it home, no folds or out in it then and can get it home straight away.

mr perfect or what, lol ! x can still only get it on the actual day of the match though!

They are getting them as from Friday mate.

many apologies, will usually be in on a friday for a friday match day though,

Yeah, thats my assumption too.
