AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 As if a Chelsea shirt is ever going to be premium merchandise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Looks like it's not just the Chelsea strip, but anything Adidas considers "premium". The high street sports retailer Sports Direct is embroiled in a spat with Adidas which means it could lose out on sales of football kits worn by Chelsea and World Cup favourites including Spain next year. Concerns about the dispute contributed to a 12.5% slump in Sports Direct's share price yesterday, making it the biggest faller in the FTSE 100.The retailer's stock dived 97p to 674p, as it also revealed slightly-lower-than-hoped-for profits after a £6.3m hit from restructuring costs at its new Republic chain as well as a cautious outlook for the next few months. Adidas said in a statement that it would not sell premium-priced football kits, such as Chelsea's strip, through Sports Direct from next spring, citing factors such as "in-store environment" and "customer service levels." Although how much 'customer service' you need to buy a football shirt, I dunno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Do SD sell those shirts cheaper than the Chelsea club shop and other outlets? Edit, quick look, £39.99 from their Club Shop, £44.99 at SD. Surprised at that mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger Kint Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Man City losing 83 quid for every ticket sold stands out mind - ridiculous situation. The £400m or whatever deal they signed will help a bit. The debts are £100m less in 2012/13 than 2010/11. Still absolutely mental mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnonel Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Not sure I understand. My point is. According to the article we pay £9 more per ticket than what is required to break even. So our £9 is going in to owners pockets. Unless im reading it wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
