They only sell this stuff in a one off run as well. Why not just reduce the cost to say 50/60 quid and sell in larger quantities. Because they seem to be a ramshackle outfit interested in a quick profit above all else? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castore are just pricey across the range tbh, which is fine for there general sports wear as they can set the price to whatever they like, but for their clubs they need to make it way more affordable, especially since they just took on a hell of a lot of business. Though they do tend to have a sales on all the time, so worth keeping an eye out. That said that Anthem jacket is proper lush. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Castore are getting serious grief from the club at the moment over supply and quality. No idea what’s written into the contract but it I wouldn’t rule out legal action. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLUMPO235 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 They priced prem kits in the paper the other day and we were not in the top half for costs. the problem is most other clubs seem to do some cheap stuff as well as the expensive stuff. We don’t seem to have any cheap stuff. To be honest all our stuff is beyond the money I am willing to spend ideally. think Tottenham were well up the price league for example, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE27 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 The club has nowt in it tbf. Barely any (if at all?) in-house merchandise. Always felt the club shop had some good stuff in back in the late 90's/early 00's and then Mike Ashley slapped our name on any old shite in the end. I say this as I have kids who are obviously more interested, they generally want nufc everything! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I'm hoping they've raised the pieces extortionately as the club have told them the contract's getting ripped up early due to them breaching contract over demand and supply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfmk2 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I finally got refunded the £65 I paid in early July for my off centre NEWCASTLE Castore logo hoody today. I was informed that the £65 was a refund for a 3XL away shirt that I never ordered, but hey £65 is £65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqen Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 They've priced a lot of their gear at a price they simply can't justify. They have a few technical pieces that are supposed to be quality products and possibly worth it but they apply the same premium cost across all of the stuff they sell. I've seen runners and golfers with similar complaints about those ranges too. Way overpriced in terms of quality in comparison to other similar items on the market. Then you throw in all the problems they have with customer services and distribution. People not actually recieving anything after a month, people receiving wrong items, people not getting refunds. Getting no response when you contact them. Trying to con everyone into thinking their a high end brand but operate like a dodgy eBay seller. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeps essentially a corporate club-shop cool and community feeling. Instead of SJH trying to shut all that stuff down (was a ton of it mind) get together.

One thing to remember though, if we went to Nike, that those could be the sort of prices we'd have to pay also for kit and clothing. However, Castore are taking the P155 charging those prices as a new supplier, with the quality and supply issues. At least the likes of Nike and Adidas are of course well established and would have less of those issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Think they’re trying to price themselves into being thought of as a premium or quality brand. Sadly their design is average and their service is pants. Looking forward to getting rid of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
