I don't see the problem with that though. Sure it seems like a way of making money, but they're not forcing people to do it. If you're a Brighton fan who doesn't want to pay £25 for a tour of the training ground, don't. Problem solved.

Presumably there's other price hikes and things that does directly impact the average fan, but creating a new source of revenue like that doesn't seem like something to be mad at in itself.

I broadly agree with you, however, to play devil's advocate, "You don't want to pay the price, then don't" could be used as an excuse for £100 CL ticket prices, too. Then on top of that, surely some things might create a bit of revenue in the sense that someone will pay it, but how many people are realistically going to want to pay the fee to see the training ground? It's not like it's going to bring any real revenue.

I guess they could say they're just covering their costs as it's not a particularly popular tour, but then again, they'd probably be better off not offering the tours at all. Is it worth the grief?

I quite like it. Dragons are fun. Hippo for the third strip?

Apparently Dinas already has it on pre-order.

I wouldn't mind it as a third kit. I also suspect it's one of those that will look much better on TV than up close.

IF the shirt is true, Adidas probably had a job lot of Chinese New Year shirts that didn't sell. Or Heck, just before he left decided to really aim for the Chinese market for extra revenue.

It makes sense. Dragons live in a den. So do lions. What's Den like? Dirty. Who's dirty? Matty Cash (according to Tottenham fans). What will you have to spend lots and lots of to be able to afford this shirt? Cash. Join the dots.

I don't mind it. I don't understand why we would have a dragon, but anything should be fair game with the third kit.

It isn't the 3rd kit but the away one. As we are supposedly "favoured" club (not that the shirt shows that), our 3rd kit has the MJ leaf instead of the stripes.

Looks fake to me based on the low resolution crest.  Thankfully.
