Being of a certain vintage it’s been a while since I bought a new football kit, my nephew asked me for the new kit for his 8th birthday, another brother into the CF ? happily said yes and went today to buy

£80 fucking quid for a 8 year old replica kit £80 fucking quid
Astonishing in my day you could buy the lot for £20 ??
Are we expensive in comparison to other massive clubs LFC , MU etc ?

I never knew that man. Glad that they don't do it. Has that always been the case? I remember my niece had CR Smith on her top but not sure if it was an adult top or kids one.
£80 is still nuts though. I wonder what the mark up is?

My nephew used to work in a shop (USC I think) in a shopping centre in Dundee. He told me that jeans sold for £130 actually cost the shop £15.
What is a reasonable profit margin?

That's cos USC actually belongs to General Ashley and he knows how to make a bob or two.

Total disgrace in an age of tough times for many on this feckin island, season ticket holders, shareholders and even anybody on the mailing list should all be allowed to purchase 2 or 3 kids kits up to 16 years and get a 33% discount, I would think the bean counters would eventually get over it.
