Rip off merchants!!

Does anyone else feel that the price of the relica kit and the constant change to new kits is out of order?

* ragin that 2 home kits for my bhoys age 5 + 7 totals over £110
then theres me and my daughter to get for which in its self is about a ton.
* me off the amount of times they change the strip and the prices of them. Fleecing the fans.
I'm finding it a struggle to pay for all the general thingz involved in being a fan, i.e season book £500, Home kit for me and 3 kids £200+, away and third strips £200...., and thats not including progs, away tickets and other merchandise.

 

5 new strips in 2 years tells it own story mate. Totally agree with you.

 

The price of the full kit for the kids being over £50 * me right off the day.
They were wanting the new white tracky annaw the day but that wiz £45 each so I didnae bother wae that till maybe next week.

 

Yeah the prices are terrible . What annoyed me was we never even used the "International away kit " in ANY competetive games !

 

It's exploitation of people like yourself mate. Kids will always want the latest strip or training gear so its always getting changed. Parents are under pressure to make sure their weans have the new stuff.

I'm lucky because my wee yin is more interested in dolls than Celtic but it must be a nightmare with boys.

 

I can buy my kit cheaper at a local tiny soccer store in my town like a mile away. Going later today called them and its 5 dollars cheaper than online not counting shipping. Watching the rerun of the AC Milan Celtic at CP right now on my TV

 

fully agree with you guys. there's only one* solution, don't buy them anymore.



* because there aren't any cheaper celtic shirts from thailand on ebay

 

Yeah and you get fannys coming on here saying that we have no right to slate fannys like miller and gravesen. Why no they are the ones gettin our money!! The fans keep Celtic up there, we put the money into the club...too much maybe.

Off on a tangent there sorry.

But I seriously think fans should maybe let them know that it is a bit out of order with regards to the price and frequent change of kit, as it is a burden to the people who made this club what it is. All the prawn sandwich brigade that weren't there through the bad times but now occupy seats at celtic park because they can afford it dont bother about the price of kit. They dont even wear it. The real fans who were the heart and soul of celtic are little by little being priced away from parkhead. No wonder the atmosphere is the way it is at home.

BRING BACK THE JUNGLE

 

3£ for a keyring as well :O

 

every club is the same

 

£1.50 for a throwaway lighter with a crest on it. Usual price 50p max

 

interesting to see the prices.... when we know they are sewn together using material that costs tuppence by an overworked five year old working in a asian sweatshop...... yeah.... kerching mr nike.

something should be done..... i would love to know the manufacturing costs.... to see what the mark up is.

 

I refuse to buy any of the new strips. Just wear my 1967 European Cup top I got from Toffs
​

 

To play the devils advocate. If we didnt sell merchandise we would be lucky to get anywhere in Europe since we have little tv revenue.

I would rather pay 20 dollars more and see us do well in Europe than pay 20 dollars less and get knocked out in qualifiers.

 

thats a good point mate.... but i bet we'd sell more if they were a tenner cheaper then selling more would offset the cheaper cost.

 

That is true, but there has to be a tipping point where the average fan is completely priced out of the games and the merchandise.

The average price of a season ticket is already over 400 quid, and when you add the strips and other stuff its a hefty price to pay for what is sometimes poor quality football in the SPL.

The club has to realise that they can only push the prices so far before they have to pursue other ways of raising revenue (which in fairness I think they know).

 

they say the home jersey is being recalled due to poor quality??

 

my dad has a 'thing' for keyrings, keeps buying them from celtic park, because i 'should' like them lol

 

source ??

I have to admit the prices are getting silly but its people like us that keep buying them so have we got ourselves to blame ??

 

100% behind u m8.but celtic will say if u want a sucessfull team,then its warented,i stopped going because i really couldent afford it,teams forget that supporters treat a match like a day out henece your dinner travell money ,your tote money,ticket money[awaygames]your carryout for the bus some times 3 games a week ,and me being a taxidriver ,i had to take the whole day off because i work nights,,,it became too much for me,,an average of £100 a game,,,so something had to give,,celtic or the mrs,,it was a close call but the wife won because i was horney 1 night
