I had heard about this initiative. It seems very dear for what's in it, even leaving out the €30 that goes to the club. I see the website even puts it's own details on the scarf.
I think I would rather support the club directly by buying the merchandise from the club shop.
Any idea why not all clubs are represented (or have I answered my own question:))
You reckon you could by all this stuff cheaper in your club shop? In fact could you even buy this stuff in your club shop?Quote:

Yes I am biased cos I work for this company but its still good for clubs and supporters.
I thought Sligo decided against it too?
No Sligo were one of the first to sign up.Quote:

As for the items on offer, let's have a lookQuote:

Scarf - Youths ones are €11. Again, I would not want one with the company website on it
Pin Badge - €5 for a Youths one
Gym Sack- Wouldn't be interested. Now a gear bag would be better
Luggage Spotter - All I can say about this item is :D
Window Sticker - The club doesn't have any but the supporters club gives ours out free
Affiliate Card - What's that?
Similarly I think its a bit expensive. Especially when the club is only getting 30euro.Quote:

Scarf:10euro
Badge: 4 euro
Gym sack:we have/had gear bags for 25euro-bigger and looked better
What the hell is a luggage spotter
Window sticker: Free
Card: :D
Total47euro. So thats 28euro for a towel.......and a luggage spotter.
It's a nice idea but pricey. Id prefer to buy one thing in the club shop for 30euro and have the club get all of the money

For starters theres the 21.5% VAT.Also the club have to buy the product and stock itso its probably closerto €10 that the club gets. The whole point of this is that the club dont spend a penny and dont take any risk and trouser €30 pure profit for each one sold.
For the record Droghedas stuff in the shop is priced as follows:
Towel €25
Gymsack€12
Scarf €12
Hat €12
Pin Badge €5
Sticker €3
Luggage spotter €9
Wrap it around the handles of your luggage so its easy spot going around theQuote:

I have to say, €9 for the luggage spotter is kinda taking the p!ss. Novelty item at best.Quote:

you can pick up Umbro ones in certain shops for €3-€5
Hat & Scarf for €12 each ... the Town Shop currently sells a Hat & Scarf combo for €20.
While I admire the idea and the fact that Clubs pretty much get money for nothing (bar the use of the crest)
I cant help thing that the price is a bit much for what you actually get.
Having said that though I'll still probably end up getting a pack :p
You know a girl? :pQuote:

From what I could gather its up to the Club itself (and/or sponsors/local retail outlets)Quote:

If not ... its just a card to say you support whoever
Like a donor card...but with no discernable benefit whatsoever. :rolleyes:Quote:

No VAT on commission, if the E30 passes as that.
