NUFC letting castore get away with scamming fans, tells me to buy from wherever is cheaper and will actually do the shirt personalisation.. Order a kids shirt to Switzerland, and they send it without a number or name on the back... they literally were sending shirts knowing they weren't ever going to get personalised and then issuing refunds for the personalisation costs... people were moaning about it on here for months... People can claim it's castores fault, the sales were from the club shop, ultimately NUFC let fans down and knew what was happening. I don't see why anyone should feel loyalty towards NUFC commercial operations when hey never showed it to customers...

Because the clubs retail operation was subcontracted out by...... you guessed it Mike Ashley. Under really oppressive terms which meant the contract couldn't be ended early (Something I believe they investigated very soon post-takeover). I suspect the kind of issues of which you mention are how the club did manage to extracate themselves from the Castore deal without significant financial penalty.

But last year we were in a cup final and finished 4th in the league so we were well ahead of schedule Narrow minded to judge a multi-season plan on a single season and ambitious long term progress isn't always a linear journey Edited March 22 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I held my Mike Ashley boycott firm for a solid decade. But the Flannels sales are pretty good like. And he's gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 My wife once bought me something from SD and I was so angry. For a non-football fan it's hard to understand. As a football fan, that was a red-card offence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 My boycott of SD has been easy to uphold because I refused to go in long before Ashley bought Newcastle and before I had ever heard of him. I just couldn’t stand the shop and the claustrophobic feel with everything crammed altogether and piled high. Expect it is better today but have no interest in finding out. Persuaded my Mam to boycott which she still does - much to the amusement of my brothers and their wives when she goes shopping with them and will stand outside waiting for them rather than enter the store.

I certainly approve, but no doubt the wife would get VAR involved to point out that thing ten years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like if I needed shoes and SD was the only place to buy shoes. I would walk home barefoot. Since he’s left I’ve softened my stance on him and his businesses. As an owner he was awful and saw the club decline almost irreconcilably. But he could’ve been a little worse and more vindictive. I guess. And Flannels is canny with a sale.

I know, it just made me laugh man. I haven't softened my stance to him at all, though. Even things like putting Bruce on that rolling contract meaning he'd get a whopping payout still annoy me. But hey, he's old news and hopefully that's where he stays, which I guess is where you're coming from. Edited March 22 by Abacus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
