Football’s Retail Ripoff
March 2nd, 2006 by Alan Hylands(submitted by an anonymous retail figure)
How often do we hear fans say that ?ticket prices are too high?? Yet, if fans want to support their team and pay 15 million pounds for a world class striker, then to a degree should understand why they have to pay the high prices.
However, when the fat Football Club chairmen of our country walk away with huge profits it still makes me angry. A supporter should be treated as such, and not see their team?s Circus like chairmen playing golf together in Barbados paid for by them!
The Football Club shop is piled high with merchandise, some good, some bad, but as long as the Ring Leaders of the Circus are making their outrageous margins on the cheapest versions of merchandise they can get from far away shores then they are happy!
Working for a merchandise supplier, we make sure that products are produced to the highest quality in the United Kingdom, giving our customers the best product possible. Chelsea, Ajax and Real Madrid sell our products in their shops and the choice is there for all clubs to take our shirts.
Unfortunately, the Circus Ring Leaders choose to make cheap versions of the products and pass them off as the real thing, letting the fans only support their deep-filled pockets.
