Fan Store prices

[phoneticerror]

Starting to really fall short of other clubs. At present, Liverpool, Man U, even Forest are selling this seasons kits for between £10-20. Yet here we are again, with a measly 30% off.

 

Why is it so hard to get a fair price for merchandise from a club in turmoil? Out of touch to put in mildly.

Fans need to stop buying replica shirts until they are less than £40 at release. We collectively have the power to change this extortionate practice but lack the organisation to do so.

Exactly, it’s a business. Skim the customers for as much as you can. If you want a sports direct gym t shirt with low quality advertising on it and are willing to pay more than a fiver for it, that’s the problem….

It’s a business where all the rival teams are serving their fans better.

 

For years I’ve deluded myself about pricing and decisions by the club with the point of view that it’s putting money into the club I’ve loved since a child. Even trying to find rationale in the situation that you need a membership to get tickets.
 

But these days it’s safe to say that I’m getting very jaded by it all. Head up their own arses type of thing.

It’s all down to what stocks they have left. No need to knock them out for a tenner if there isn’t much stock left.

 

Also think of the possible play offs, these will be sold at full price within days of the final being announced. Thats if we got there.

 

The quantities ordered vary per season, and so maybe they cut back massively on their premiership quantity orders

We need the cash

They ripped people off when we were financially competent too. This commercial side of the club makes Barrie Pierpoint look like Arthur Daly (look it up kids)

[FrankieADZ]

tbh if you look hard enough you can find stuff cheaper elsewhere

Better selling 3 shirts at £30 than selling no shirts at £70.

I'm no expert on kits but my lad wants a new home and away top every season. No way am I paying £63 from the club shop or even £40 when its '30% off'

 

I found this website and ordered him our away top at Christmas. 

 

https://www.enjoyfball.com/products/2023-2024-leicester-city-away-soccer-jersey?spm=..collection_83872d66-14fe-4a5b-a9a1-fe39f30f9e83.collection_detail_1.2&spm_prev=..index.header_1.1

 

Took a couple of weeks delivery but cost me less than £20 with shipping.

 

Hasn't shrunk in the wash, badges/logo's etc. still intact and to the untrained eye, you wouldn't know it was a fake.

 

I haven't told my lad it isn't the official top and he's none the wiser

Yeah fake tat

Slightly off topic but it makes me laugh the amount of LCFC stickers around the ground 😅 top class

[volpeazzurro]

Just don't go in. Simple.

Not even hard enough, message me with your measurements and I'll get you a tailor made knock off of probably better quality for a fiver from Asia. Let's start a revolution, £2 referral fee for any orders you send my way.

Mate you’re buying a £63 polyester template top with a badge on. Let that sink in. I bought last seasons shirt of dh gate for £11 and other than it being a bit tighter there was no difference. You’re being ripped off

Football shirts are over priced throughout the board so I can't hate on our club specifically for that.

 

What has annoyed me however....the upcoming signing session...

 

You used to be able to take  like upto 2 items to be signed,  you know, like the club giving something back allowing fans to meet the players and get things signed....

 

Not with king power, kids can't take their own items, instead, they have to pay £10 for a player card and your only allowed that 1 item signed.

 

So absolutely no good gesture, just a money making scheme.

 

King power rinsing the money and life out of everyone.

 

Fvck off!

Who’s doing the next signing? I didn’t get an email about that.

 

On the kit situation, DHGate never seem to have badges and adidas logo on so bloody useless for buying for my lad if they ship like that. Kids get bullied for stuff like that 😂

Harry Winks & Mads Hermansen so actually a decent one. 

 

But It reads as though it's £10 per player card & can't get other items signed so couldn't take a shirt or something which most kids would want to do...

 

And yeah, I've ordered from DH Gate before, don't worry they do come with the badges, badges are often hidden on the site.

 

As for the item itself, delivery can be a long time & then the fit can vary. Shame to wait 2 months for something that fits like a wet suit

Might actually pay for that. I know it sounds like a sucker move. But the cards actually look ok, and my lad has a few now. £10 in total by the way, not per player.

 

I think they don’t like kits being signed anymore because of eBay and it’s likely to attract sellers and not fans. When we went to the Fatawu signing the guy in front of us was an eBay seller. It was nice to see him waste a tenner.

Ahh fair enough.  I just remember when you used to be able to go and get anything signed so just feels like the club siphoning money out of the fans again.

 

I guess a lot has changed since the last time I went to a player signing.

 

I think it's 2 players that people would really want to meet so it's good to have them there in one session.

My lad got the black away kit for his birthday last year and it was definitely fake. When I put it next to mine you could feel the difference in the fabric, felt very cheap. But I guess there is a sliding scale and it’s luck of the draw.

 

I got last seasons off eBay from a guy who must have had a bunch of adidas stock. 100% genuine and only cost £20. He’s banned now though 😂

[phoneticerror]

I’m going to give DHGate a go with the New England kit. Not got much to lose there as I’m not prepared to pay those prices!

Just make sure you size up and go for a seller with a lot of reviews.

[sylofox]

Would this even be a topic if we was still HMS Pisstheleague?

 

Me thinks not.

Only kids should wear replica shirts in public, unless your playing football in them at goals or something.
