Quote ="Joe Tamani"ISC are an Australian company and the deal will have been done 6 months ago when the Aus $ to the pound was not very good value. If we were to sell shirts etc at those prices we would loose a fortune.
I will be happy to pay as long as its going to the club and supporting them. Dont forget we almost didnt have a club to support and we all wanted decent gear.'"
I agree to a point
The club need fans coming through the gates and buying merchandise. The problem with these prices are that I think they've priced themselves out of a fair few sales, £37.50 is a lot of money for a polyester polo shirt. From memory this is at least a £10 increase from last years prices.
The fans have already put money into the club (£500,000) and we continue to do so when we buy tickets, attend the events and buy food/drink. The club have got to be careful to tread a fine line between trying to get every penny out of fans and pricing them out of buying things.
As I said, in previous seasons i probably bought 2 hoodies & 2 polo shirts every year. At this price i just can't justify that, over £50 for a hoody is just plain robbery
