Yes fuck off Stoke ,why should I put my hand in my pocket to pay for all thes players,ground improvments,free transport,u7s free shirts,all the work in the community.Because your son wants one you tight arsed git. If you honestly believe that £47 represents good value then you deserve to be ripped off. Do you go for the worst mortgage deal or most expensive energy tariff too so you can help out the poor banks and energy companies? Stoke are profiteering and it stinks. The fact other clubs do it is irrelevant. I think youve hit the nail bang centre.

Get it on Friday where you'll get 20-25% off as part of a black Friday deal. If your 6 year old is small-normal size get the 5-6 infant kit and you'll get the full kit for that much. He's just grown out of that one unfortunately. Absolutely proves what they can sell them at though. Mate even when they're knocking them off at the end of the season for a tenner, they're still probably making 50% profit on the fucking things. As someone mentioned before, if he just wants a Stoke kit then get one of the older ones with the stripes on the back. You can still take it down the shop and get his name on it for a fraction of the price.

With a number and name on it for Christmas. £47. Fuck off Stoke. Just fuck right off. Billionaire owners, premier league revenues and they think it's OK to charge nearly £50 for a 6 year old's top. There was a thread the other day (awful thread granted) about what makes you proud of Stoke City. We'll this blatant exploitation doesn't. It's any wonder people are falling out of love with the game. And they cost less than a fiver to make. Rip off all down the line, but that's business so they say. Crooks the lot of 'em!

The last time I was in Amsterdam I popped to a sports shop to pick up a Netherlands top expecting it to be cheaper in their own country. €70. Unbelievable. Do you usually buy last seasons shirts then? Yeah they're a proper rip off, I think this one about 80 Euros. But it is a nice shirt. And I do but I don't really care about having the new one, which I guess is the issue here. Although it might be worth stocking up on a few for next Christmas come April/May when they're selling them off cheap! Couldn't get over the €100 Barca wanted for a home shirt. That's just shy of £90 as of today. No printing included. Sent from my SM-G928F using proboards

You mean a totally overpriced piece of tech made in the far east for peanuts on behalf of a multi-billion pound corporation run by multi millionaires making shed loads of profit? Apple have been proving for years that you can sell cheap tech for 20 times more than it costs to manufacture. Make an iPhone for $55 then sell them for over a $1,000. How you can hold it in your hand and be pleased that you've been utterly ripped off is beyond me. Still, as long as the millionaires and billionaires keep getting richer off the backs of ordinary people. But then again, as simple says, how on earth could Stoke afford to pay the players wages if they weren't overcharging for kid's tops? I can just imagine the horror on the WAGS faces when their husbands pay drops from £5.2m per annum to £5.19m. I mean, it'd ruin Christmas wouldn't it. I take it that you don't buy anything ever?

Clearly you can't completely live outside the system, but if you're asking have I ever paid over £30 for a pair of jeans or bought over priced tat like 'Pandora' then the answer is no. Same reason I never buy a tea, coffee or food from at the stadium either. Zero value and designed to make absolute maximum profit, rather than balancing profit with customer satisfaction. Despite all that I've always been a Conservative voter like SJW though. Go figure eh.

Not justifying over charging - I won't pay a grand for an iPhone X, it's nuts - but you do appreciate how much money it costs in R&D for something like a smart device? Nowadays £55 is ten pints and a curry, not what you'd expect to pay for a machine that means you have more tech in your pocket than NASA had in sending a rocket into space.

I don't have any issue with anyone making a fair profit for a fair days work. That's how capitalism is supposed to work, isn't it? We all know that isn't what generally happens though. Look at Wembley. Over £8 for a burger? It's a disgrace and whoever comes up with these pricing strategies designed to fleece a captive customer should be ashamed. I'm surprised people in a predominantly labour voting area lap up such stuff to be honest. People are clearly free to spend their money how they see fit, but they can't then point the finger at capitalist conservatism for widening the gap between rich and poor if they're the very thing that fuels it.

I have bought replica tops for my nippers (although mercifully the eldest appears less bothered nowadays) and/but I have explained to them that they are expensive and that it's a big treat and all the other trappings of parenting that goes with living in late capitalist Britain etc. On a wider political note, possibly more over a pint than on here, is that I find it extremely difficult to go against the financial grain. As for in-stadium pricing, that is a total piss take. Even Stoke City can rinse me out of the thick end of £20 on food and drink for me and two children.

Kids nowadays are spoiled to a ridiculous extent by weak parents. When I was a kid I just wanted to wear pumps and I didn't give a shit how much they cost, or who made them, and would not want anything with a manufactures label on it,

It's an indefensible price by any measure or any comparison. You aren't that cunt from the Supporters Council who thought our season ticket prices should go up are you? Firstly I am not a cunt and you are very brave calling me that behind a keyboard.We live in a country where you have a choice to buy or not,yes the prices are high,just like trainers,designer jeans ,Fred Perry tops, But you don’t have to buy,but thousands of consumers by these items and that’s why they can ask for the inflated prices. Would I pay £47 for a six year olds top don’t know.

Dave have a look on ioffers.com , they do take a while for delivery (probably comes from China) but are about a quarter of the price than buying in the UK.

Good job you anner got twins
If you paid the money then you cant really lay the blame at the seller they had it priced right for you
The price the consumer pays is down to the comsumer Whether it is paying over £2 at the motorway services or £47 for a shirt in a club shop
Only when the buyer says no to being fleeced will anything change
Classic is this week
Drop stamp duty for first time buyers and they will have it off you by putting house prices up!!!
Banks still havent ( in the main ) Increased interest on savings
The world we live in
If you dont like it tough shit really
Dont even go there re petrol and utilities
Business's by and large employ cleverer people than you and me to manipulate pricing dependant on
Supply and demand Peer pressure Market trends

I just wish football hadn't become so commercialised, I think that's my point. I'm lucky enough that I can afford to spend £47 and it won't affect my ability to pay the bills, but for lots of other people that isn't the case. Just because I can afford it doesn't mean I can't think it's disgusting though.
