Richmond Merchandise.Guernseys etc
« on: June 03, 2016, 11:53:32 AM »
Interesting last night both kids asked for new jumpers
Jumped onto Tigers Superstore $119 each
Mmmmm
Jumped onto BLK website and the same jumpers are $65.00
Love supportering the club and do so in many ways
But with that price difference, I have purchased direct from BLK
Don't mind paying over the odds for a good cause but paying nearly double the price is over the top

Its a real crappy way to treat members, ive told them this but they dont give a poo anymore beacuse they have got enough on the wagon to cover.
just another of the up yours the club seems to love doing these days. too many marketing knobs and other cooks that really have no idea about football.
I wouldnt mind so much if it was like 10-20 % difference but ive got stuff from BLK at half the price.
And dont worry the RFC has got is share out of me over 40 years.

 :lol
This job for mates club need the cash to support all their underachieving friends.

Isn't it puzzling why no one in the footy department is willing to take a pay cut until they achieve some "real" success?  Or why they haven't tried to get the very best in coaching, recruiting or development or fitness?
Maybe because they'll only pay overs for their closest mates.

We all know that FTF really is the Fund the Friends campaign. :rollin
The club that keeps giving.

With respect though BLK bless them are having their annual EOFY sales, hence why the huge difference

BLKs price is normally less than the clubs. Normal price for the kids guernesey when not on sale is $99.95

But get your point

I always wait for BLK sales and buy direct off them - get some absolute bargains and they deliver within a couple of days

Was actually going to post the sale details this evening

Was about to say a similar thing regarding sales. Do the club ever do these type of sales though? If not, why?

If you go anorexic or eat like a horse you can probably score some Small or XXXL stuff 20% off at the end of the year, maybe?

Cool just picked up 2 knew pairs of gym shorts for under 80 - complete and utter bargain.
They even have those basketball tops in all sizes for 40 that you havent been able to get at the store all year - Geez they are a hopeless lot  :banghead

As you have attended all homes games so far, we will give you a 10% discount on all Tigers Superstore products
Wow Wee I thought

I don't see what the big deal is.

Know your prices, shop where you want.

If you want to pay for extra for the club then do so.

The club will decide its own prices. They don't care about the odd BLK sale and nor should they 10 rounds in

Your kidding arent you
Even BLK normal prices are $20-$30 cheaper without the sale

So pay $40-$60 extra for the club or don't. Jeez....

Disagree with that

$10-$20 max

Although this season prices are alot closer than previous years. Club obviously got that memo  :lol

Though what does my head a bit is the fact our club charges more than other clubs for their BLK range. Every club sponsored by BLK have the same stuff, it comes from the same factory but the RFC always have the highest prices

Club has lost me this year re merch because the 1 item BLK item  I buy every year without fail (LS polo)they dont have this year and when iasked why they said, decided not to pit on the shop, only available for the players this year  :huh3
