Amazing to think that only a few years ago they bought us for £300m, now they are going to spend 2/3 of that on a training ground, probably the same amount by the time it goes over budget.

No chance it goes, it’s one of Premier Inn’s airport hotels. I had a job interview there when I was 18, didn’t get the job though.

It depends really. If they are selling themselves they likely do. No chance for stuff being sold via Adidas or JD.

Nah, although it’s not far from there. That site itself would be too small. The lasses used to play there before Kingston Park.

Loads of land, but it’s attached to the stately home which is listed, and some trees will have preservation orders on them. It will also be classed as greenfield land. However new houses and offices have recently been built very close to it.

It depends on what it will entail. A stadium and luxury hotel will boost the price.

eBay scalpers @ Newcastle training ground. Yeah that’s right, those accounts are the clubs.

I think that there is some myth and misconceptions going about. Let’s say the club sells 10k of each item, that comes to just over £3m in revenue, you can bet that about 75% if not more of that will be profit. This is assuming the club sells those numbers directly. Sales through Adidas, and JD will be less. It’s not an insignificant number really, and honestly 10k of each item is probably a realistic target, and I’d be they will beat that. We’ll never get those numbers to confirm though. I think a huge problem for us right now is that this release will have been done with just in time delivery in mind. The factories that made these will have changed lines now with the World Cup and the new season not far off they will be starting earlier than usual to ramp manufacturer shirts etc. On top of this Liverpools version of this is due to be released in the coming weeks. So the factory will have switched over to something els and there is likely less to be factory availability anytime soon to get it going. You’d hope the club and Adidas anticipated a strong demand and have us pencilled in somewhere if we did need more on top of our original order. There is also a misconception about how they calculate demand. Both the club and Adidas will have insane amounts of data going into this release. So the possibility of them creating say 40k but only selling 10k as someone said is very small. On top of this if we did have excess stock, there is no reason why the club can’t sell that directly on to Z retailers. These are retailers who will buy excess stock, like TK Maxx, M&M Direct, even the likes of mystery football shirt and dare I say it, Sports Direct will be interested in the stock at the right price. It would mean that the club don’t have to store stock, and don’t have to have it discounted forever on the shelves.

I’ve said it before, but this range and the 95-97 home shirt should be a permanent range. The hope is that this is only just the initial wave of supply, and more will be available as time gos on. If the actual club shops are running low, then by the time match day goes get their hands on it later then there will be nothing left. I wonder how well Liverpool will handle theirs when they put their similar range on sale.

They’ve partnered with a ticketing partner, not sure how it exactly works but I’m sure they buy tickets off the club and sell them on.

Mostly down to their ticketing partner who are selling the tickets at an inflated price, pricing out the Everton fans and resulting in gaps in their crowd. They’ve also just started suffering their home defeats there as well. I also think a lot of it is down to how it’s shit to get to and away from.

We are going to end up with a situation where it is limited to 1 per customer.

Well done mate. I’m going to try and lose weight this year, currently an XXL in a lot of stuff. I guess with this stuff, it can be baggy, so you have some leeway.

Just go normal size, never such as thing as too big a sweater.

I’m glad that I got my stuff yesterday, but that’s a fucking pisstake to be honest. No replenishment of stock for non-Mag+ fans, and an earlier than scheduled release. Yeah that’s not on.

TNT blatantly using crowd noise there because the background crowd noise doesn’t even change, and no one in the crowd seems to have even go up off their feet.

Is the guy behind him wearing our black terraces icon jacket?

Liverpool are still rumoured to be getting their version of this in their release.

What about Diomande from Sporting Lisbon?

Fenwicks have confirmed that their NUFC store will have stock tomorrow.

Imagine how much the Liverpool fans will cry about it.

The crowd to/from SJP for next 18 months is going to be a sea of maroon and blue, with off white trims.

It was sold out everywhere for a while.

Small in the sweater is now sold out.
