The sad thing is there would be more furore if we didn't bring out a new shirt every year.

Like the team, One of the worst shirts for a while, they would need to pay me a tenner to take one home.

Not from me, in fact if they said here it is for the next 5 years and no sponsor on it I'd probably pay through the nose for it

The shirts should have a life of 3 seasons before a new one is unveiled but it's all about money these days and I expect it will be a new shirt every season for a long time to come .

How's it fucking over the fans? Are they forcing you to buy a shirt?

They can just say "no". Or say if you do get a shirt it means you have to go without that XBox game or toy you wanted.

I don't think any parents give their kids everything they ask for, nor should they.

No, it's just PlaceforParks having another whinge.

He dose'nt have to buy a Villa Lions vs Norwich Canaries ticket if he dose'nt want to either.

Since you can do it online, is it possible for anyone to lend me their code? I want to buy one of them. If not I'll just wait until they go down to about 7 quid in Sports Direct.

If the price of next season's shirt was determined by the full price multiplied by the proportion of home league points won this season, that would focus minds on winning soddin football matches. Currently, we would be paying 30% of full price.

Maybe next year they'll try 'buy a shirt and get a season ticket for a tenner'? Just a thought.

All joking aside , I think ST sales will really plummet for next season, by +20% . People have had enough.

Got the shirt on offer from the shop on the high street for £25 about 3 weeks ago, which doesn't make me particularly happy but such is life.

When it was launched, the majority of people seemed to like the homage to the 81/82 Le Coq Sportif shirt.

Now last seasons, or the FXPro with the chequered sides, then  you're in business.

That's sales for you.  Got caught out a million times over the years.

It's coming towards the end of the season, the club have probably got surplus stock they want to get rid of.


I have emails daily from shops offering me discounts, in particular Wallis, offering 24% for 24hours, every wednesday at least.

Just seeing it as a life lesson, I'll know to wait until the last few months of the season when they drop to a tenner now for the future ;)

Agreed, got both of those and they are shit.

Fucking hell, i see "the club is bringing out a new kit - fans being screwed over" thread has started early this season.

Whatever happened to choice? Buy if you want, or not. Say yes or no to your kids based on your values, finances etc etc etc.

Just bought one for a tenner using Villa cash.

And for all we take the piss out of the Bitters bringing out DVDs etc to celebrate a draw, I saw we are selling a framed picture of the 4-3.

Is it only the home shirt, not the away one, that's on offer? If so, do you think it means they intend on keeping the away one as next year's "third" strip?
Title: Re: Replica home shirt £10
Post by: PeterWithesShin on February 22, 2014, 02:06:14 PM
Only the home at the moment. I want the away but am too tight to even pay the current £25 as I hope that will be a tenner soon.
Title: Re: Replica home shirt £10
Post by: cdbearsfan on February 22, 2014, 03:09:47 PM
I'm waiting for the away to be reduced to a tenner too. As it's a bit different I reckon it'll be a collector's item in a few years.

I'm hoping there will be a lot of training tops at a tenner.

Yeah sure if you're cool with that. Shall I PM?

It will be. Still with Macron for another two years and there'll be two new kits next season, home and away w/ this season's away being the third for next year. Speaking of which, any news on them? I read a thread on VT, something about a bloke at Villa asking a poster for their input with what the fans want to see but no solid news.
