Fake shirts

[HappyOwl]

As the club have put a statement out saying that you will be asked to leave the stadium if you are wearing a snide kit does this include the terrace retro ones?

They are officially licensed from the club.

Be half of the T block thrown out if they enforced it on fake stone island 🤣🤣🤣

I guess the equivalent is turning up at a gig wearing a knock off band T shirt as opposed to buying the similarly over priced versions from the merch stand. 

Folk don't realise that the stadium is private property so can apply their own terms and conditions - well within the law.

Why festivals ban taking in your own food or drink and presumably they could deny entry if you did so.

Clubs have brought this on themselves.

Agree totally. Clubs have created a gap in the market, £70 (sometimes worse) for a shirt that will be changed in a year. Clearly they cost much less than that to produce.

I had a look at the online shop last night out of curiosity and they also hit you for £7 postage if you decide to buy anything. That DHGate ship from China for significantly less sums it up.

Yes clubs are seeking to maximise revenues by protecting their IP. Same as the EPL and EFL will protect the value of the TV rights sold by going after the providers of firesticks etc - albeit the law also says the end user could be gone after. 

So yes the price margin provides the incentive for providers to risk it for a few quid and hope they do not get caught. But it always makes me laugh folk will happily take the cheap option but then moan when their local pub is closed or the shopping centre no longer as shops

Has anyone acquired the new kit from any dubious sites from the Far East? If so what are they like?

In places where there isn’t a monopoly, not allowing your competition to undercut you is a factor in maximising revenue. There’s a difference between selling for a premium and taking the piss and I think they’ve pushed it too far.

There’s a long thread about it on the other place.

You are probably right about the pushing it too far price wise 

Not really a monopoly though - a band or artist would do similar to protect IP

Technically I wasn't allowed to put the radio on in our old office without paying a PRS fee - can't recall the criteria. Why you hear shit muzak versions in some shops

I'm not sure the stewards would know the difference between the fake ones and the real ones.

What about fake taxi companies 🫣

I wonder if you go into the posh seats we could see Two Tie policing

Tbh they didn't have any cars or erm drivers so they weren't taking money from the tax avoiding  cabbies

Meh, bit of a stupid statement but nothing to get excited about. Unless you actively choose to because you’re desperate for things to criticise Chansiri about.

The fact is it was a Club Statement and whilst I am sure he authorised it the commercial team may have wanted to say it. I mean as commercial manager you may be being awkward questions why shirt sales are lower from above

With the twisting of facts to suit your narrative you should apply for a job in politics

So shirt sales are down on last year?

Thicko’s taking fake shirts into the club shop asking to exchange for bigger sizes & others asking for names to be printed on the back of fakes haven’t helped 🤦‍♂️

Hot young un both they seem OK to me.

[Billysboy]

Nowhere does it say they'll be banned, a business protecting its brand, Ugbo signing on 4 year contract the last straw for the anti club wankers, let em stew, f.y.h (fuck you hargreaves)

I have no idea on shirt sales - fake or real

[Theman]

Don’t buy from the club, not a supporter, the favourite line being ‘I’m not lining Chansiris pockets’ as if 👍

Stick around you'll notice he rarely posts a passable sentence.

Club statement says could be asked to leave though OT have twisted around via a Kieran Maguire tweet saying fans will be banned. 

Typical of that tvvat who runs that forum. 

[EBRA]

The pigs have a reporting service on their website for outlets selling their items.

I get the financial pressures on families - but I have seen the comments promoting these items in an anti Chansiri context plus people happily promoting the fact on Facebook.

For those then taking them into the club 🤯🤯

Hargreaves is a fucking prick, would love to see the bald **** at a game so I could tell him as much.

That isn't a threat Neil as we know you love to play the victim and you're a grass.

Wait till we get to Premier league, they will be even more fake shirts knocking around, you can walk along sea front on Costa del Sol and there's loads of lucky lucky men selling fake shirts of all the big clubs across Europe. 

When I see them selling Wednesday shirts I'll know that we really are back in big time. 😁
