Why are we getting ripped off by adidas / club??

Just had a good long nose the full range of adidas training gear on the club shop - some of the prices seemed a bit steep compared to previous years.

Ok, its the adidas I thought, you pay a bit extra for quality. HOWEVER -

My mate then said about the Swans adidas gear and in discussion it seemed they were on ave 5-8 quid cheaper per same item (all jokes aside about the "quality" of the club etc). So I had a look via the swansdirect store and ours and here are some of the price differences:

Hoddies - £9 more expensive with us
Polo shirts - £6 more expensive with us
training top /jacket - £5 more expensive with us
training jersey - £5 more expensive with us
woven shorts - £2 more expensive with us

How is this so? seems a small amount per item, but If anyone bought a bit over the season, then how is that fair?


Both clubs are using VERY similar designs too

Welcome to the wonderful world of Adidas, they use the same template for lots of Clubs ,Swansea have had their kit supplied by them for 3/4 years although that's not the reason for the price differential, that's just down to the Clubs profit margins .

Still doesn't detract from the fact that your fans are biggest bunch of scruffs in prem league.

Buying the stadium that the council built and that you've not paid rent on. Goes hand in hand with the 5p in the pound and 2 spells of receivership/admin. One day karma is going to bite your club on the arse and you'll be back in lower leagues where you belong.

As for Swansea been known around the world. Well done. Cardiff is far more famous place and one of best capitals in Europe. Great facilities which is why UEFA have chosen the city for the champions league final.

So the misconception that we don't pay rent has appeared again, totally false of course, the deal, and it's a simple one and has been in place for 10 years today actually is, 25% of gate receipts, council are happy with that. So, next time someone says to you they don't even pay rent, put them straight for me will you

doesnt matter if pay rent or not fact is its a council stadium for swans and (OSPREYS) any expansion will be interesting as if correct only 2 sides can be developed so it would mean closing completely on health safety that stand,,? bit problematic dont you think? and we have been hearing about your council extension for several years now and guess spew is waiting until you establish yourselves in champions league before trying to build it. k

Only two sides can be developed ? Complete rubbish....East, South, North stands have plans to be expanded....where do you get your info from.

Wages are higher in Cardiff than they are in Swansea, hence the club charging us all more

Allan's a funny one, he makes it up as he goes along, the West stand is the only stand that won't be developed and as that is slightly higher already will continue its bowl shape which will be good, Allan, I don't think there's a swans fan out there that doesn't want expansion and I coult Huw Jenkins as one of those, trouble is we chose to build two training camps that are nearing completion, leaves funds available to start expansion. Ok, we'd loved to have done it all at once but without a sugar daddy we've had to bide our time, any spare sugar daddy's in Malaysia? Joke

Found this amusing, it was an article in the guardian about Swansea's training methods, it asked the legend that is Alan Curtis what was it like in his time


Curtis was recalling one of his first pre-seasons, in the early 1970s, when the Swansea players set off for on a six-mile road run to the Mumbles and he remembers asking several of the senior players why they were wearing tracksuit bottoms rather than shorts. “Where are we going to keep our fags?” came the response.

Another returning 'Jack' here in 'whoami' with 11 'posts' to date and most of them having a 'pop' at someone/something Bluebird!


For the record, those who bought the new shirt (like me) obviously thought it worth the money or else they wouldn't have and (for the more frugal) there are some pretty good deals available on last season's shirt!
