Sorry, can’t agree with you on this, plus the likes of Ashley devalue the product. would rather pay at a standard set price and provide NUFC with enhanced profits to increase club revenue for FFP
If anyone is to blame it's the premier League with their rules that force the club to maximise all revenue sources.
Any Newcastle fan who is still putting money into that fat leach’s pocket should take a good hard look at themselves.
I would rather pay more for my shirt and prevent MA from profiting from us but the club should allow other retailers to sell it and support local shops...anyone but MA
but then i quess u have a legal issue if u ban only one and let the rest use
Ashley said the “fans”would be losing out 🤣🤣🤣when was Ashley ever bothered about the fans when he was here.Buy from the shop coz Ashley’s will probably be rejects anyway with dodgy stitching etc
Our owners are where they are because they do business successfully, No way would they be doing this to cause Ashley a frown,,it will be a pure business decision as to why they are only being offered exclusively to certain shops. Still it gave me a smile knowing he (Ashley) is upset about it.
I’m with Amanda. I don’t want fcb’s sweaty sausages anywhere near our shirts or other merch.
Fantastic Cockney Businessman?
@@guyjackson1261near enough!
@@Cumbriamag 🤣
Didn't Ashley stop J D sports from selling our shirts when he owned us karma it's great .most of his shops didn't sell the shirts down south anyway.
He had the Castore shirt for sale in SD before the club had it for sale, that really got me riled up 😡🤬
It’s not a big deal mate , shite owner , shit person but I’ll happily take the free brand exposure. Too many of our fans are short sighted . He’s a thing of the past let him do what he wants cause it has naff to do with us
Why would any true Newcastle fan even want to give money to Ashley and sports direct ffs!
Newcastle united are no longer a piggy bank for Mike Ashley,😂
Local businesses should profit a little from cutting a deal with Newcastle to sell there shirts like you said and that would really give a massive F U Ashley
Now that would be the perfect was to do it !!
@@Roobenstein it’s a win win all round they fans get there tops from local businesses who cut a deal with Newcastle which helps support the team and the local community with money going into there stores instead of Ashley’s back burner #FATCONTROLLER ( Thomas the tank) springs to mind lol
Good. What true fan would have bought one from Sports Direct and put money in fat Ashleys pocket? I'd rather support NUFC and the battle against FFP even if it means paying slightly more.
Well done NUfC for giving Ashley the finger 👏🏻👏🏻 I am certain that the shirt will be available in Adidas stores around the world too.
Maybe with all shirt sales going through the club they can keep the price reasonable and still make a decent profit.
Ashley buys Adidas shirts direct from Adidas for about £16.50 so I think there is a more than decent profit to be made.
Looked in one of his shops two weeks ago and the Nufc shirts were still £70 and at the club shop they were less than £30 and he thinks he is doing us a favour
I think there are rules about excessive charging . It could be that they do discounts for season ticket holders and members , like they do if you do after stadium or roof tour 🤔
I'm in Sheffield and never, ever seen a Newcastle strip for adults or kids in Sports Direct down here...plenty of London clubs, but no NUFC
Have one beer less for Lunch and you can buy the shirt supporting your fantastic club. :)
I don't think the price of a pint is the same price as a shirt mate
Well, the video is not about buying a shirt or not. It is between buying it at StJamess or another retailer. The difference in price is what I was refering to. In sweden a pint would cost about 10-12 pounds, maybe the pint is cheaper in UK so make it two pints then :)
@@nia79nia the price of all shirts is a rip off that's why fans buy them from China
The Pro shirt will be £105, £10 cheaper than the Castore Pro Shirt
It's UNFC's perogative. They pulled the curtain back on much of what Ashley did in spite of the fans. I will agree with everything the owners do from here out. They've gained my trust.
I haven't bought a toon top in about 5 years the money saved I will happily pay anything up to £100 for the shirt from the club shop because I know the owners are not skimming off the top, and all of the money goes back into the club. It's not about how much it costs with me even tho like everyone else I'm broke af but for me it's about supporting the team. If it means only buying one shirt the whole season, if it means I don't treat myself to a new Adidas tracksuit because the toon top is the same price then I'm gonna do that because I want to see the club go forward under this ownership who clearly care about the fans and the club but also understand that we need to be making money to compete with the big teams so honestly and I hope every other fan is the same, regardless of price I'm getting if from the club shop. Idc if I'll save 10/20 quid going elsewhere ad rather the extra goes to the club
Fan from down south here, I had to order from Sports Direct after waiting over 2 months for Castore to deliver. Sports Direct delivered in 2 days.
Its about the service for me, I will buy for the best price or quickest delivery, let’s just hope the online club shop is up to the demand as will be annoyed if they restricted availability and aren’t able to ship orders quickly.
I am waiting with so many people in Saudi Arabia for the new shirt 👕
💯👍🏻
Just to make more money, £70 for a shirt that costs less than £15 to make. Keep your pockets open they love it.
Do you lmow Ashley has never been allowed to sell Adidas kits as they think he denigrates clubs by his barrowboy policy of 'stack em high & sell em cheap '
Ashley released this season's shirt before the club was ready. Remember that?
My sister brought my newcastle utd shirt online for me as an newcastle utd fan⚫⚪
No love here for Ashley but the problem is that not all NUFC fans live in Newcastle so we don’t have access to the official club shop whereas there are Sportsdirect stores all over the country so it would be handy for us to just pop into our local to pick one up… if they sold them =\
The price of the shirts should be fixed and no matter where you buy them from the club makes the same money. Using that argument it should be cheaper at the club shop than at other retailers, but of course it isn't because they guarantee to sell many more than the club shop can so get a discount, which part of which they pass on to their customers. The only way to control the price is to only sell it through the club shop and shop web site.
I was lucky enough to watch us tank Spuds but also to watch the lasses score 10 goals & pick up the Trophy, sharing their champagne with Amanda as she's one of the lasses 🍾
It’s good that Ashley won’t be able to sell the shirts, Back in the day I always bought all my shirts from the club shop, but I stopped buying them when Ashley took over. From 2021/22 when we got took over. I tried buying from the club shop. And what a nightmare that turned out to be, wrong sizes, wrong placed name sets. Random name sets added, so tbh I won’t be ordering any shirts from the club shops because they’re simply crap. It’s a total shame that the club shop can’t be way way better then they’re and their customer service is atrocious, so that’s why I’ll be buying all my Adidas shirts from the official Adidas web shop. And because I’m a member, I can get free name sets added. So that’s where I stand on this.
Genuinely, I've never seen a Newcastle shirt in SportsDirect. Even when the FCB was the owner, I couldn't get a shirt in my local SportsDirect stores. I'd much rather buy my merch directly from the club tbh. Sports Direct, these days, is a barometer for what's not fashionable.
Well said Rob top lad genuine down to earth lad always talk sense
I agree Rob, exclusivity is not good for fans, it keeps prices high, some people can't see past their hatred for Mike Ashley. Block Ashley selling it but not other retailers.
I'm glad it's not just me thinking thinking how you are. Like you I wait until the prices come down a little, however with this new exclusivity it is unlikely the shirts will not be reduced until the end of 24/25 season.
Hopefully this will not become a regular occurrence and is a one off.
I like the fact FCB cannot undercut the clubs price but on the other side its leaving the door open to the new owners will charge what they want. But surely they won't penalise our supporters by hiking the price up. That would alienate fans from the club. Its gonna have to be a fine margin between screwing us over and getting the money into the coffers towards buying players
Cashly would sell the tops from his car boot if it meant profiting from Newcastle, the mans obsessed..
And there is other so called online retailers who make shirts very similar 🤔 especially it you have 2 or 3 kids plus Mum and Dad. People will go down that avenue
As long as there is no price fixing (as that's illegal) it should be fine.
The only people who suffer from this decision are fans. Ashley will still be a Billionaire, and if anyone thinks we’re getting some kind of revenge, then they are letting their own opinions delude them.
You are completely wrong. Ashley wouldn't be fighting this if there wasn't something In it for him. Look up the definition of nothing. Since Ashley is being denied something he wants then "we're getting some kind of revenge" !!! arn't "we" ! You might want to rephrase what you think you are saying. Shirts may well cost more, Ashley will still have plenty of money...etc. but some kind of revenge is being had here and some of us love it ..
Wouldn't surprise me if Big Ash buys out JD.Hate to say it but that guy always wins!
Personally, I'll be buying it from the club shop online, mainly because I am nowhere near Newcastle and I want to support my club. Yes it will be more expensive but it's my way of directly supporting Newcastle United (and I am sooooooooooo glad the Ashley isn't going to get his fat greasy fingers on it!)
Buy from the club or affiliates - Ashley & SD deserve nowt & will get nowt!
Agree with you here. Picture a European kid who wants to buy a premier league shirt on their holiday to the UK. I did the equivalent in 1996 when I got a Barca shirt. Surely you want them in every sports shop going, alongside the usual liverpool, manu tops.
It's alot of years since sports direct shirts were cheaper than the NUFC club shop, ashley may put loads of cheap looking sale tags on but they've been the same price for along time, so i disagree with you on that pal. F**k the fcb, it's the correct decision from our owners.
i bought a number 7 shirt ( big joelinton) the other day straight from castore... anything for that watkins signing lol
He likes to make money from Newcastle but would not put money into the club so suck it up Ashley 😎
80£ that's cheep in Denmark we pay 150-200£
Without knowing the deal. I would have thought the JD sports deal will be a timed exclusive. Maybe say exclusive for 3 months. Plus when they initially sell the shirts it will be rrp which would be the case in all shops so Mike saying it’s unfair for fans I balk at. Although devils advocate it may very well be the case that the deal is permanent and the club could charge what they want. But I don’t think it would be sensible of them to price out the fans.
Im buying from club shop or adidas online, dont buy not from sports direct
I'd have loved the shirt to be on sale at sports direct no returns to the club once he's bought his stock and if the fans get it right he'd be left holding unsold stock win win club makes money Ashley loses it
Rob let’s trust the owners do the right thing and keep the margins at a reasonable level. In this era of ffp etc the club need to maximize the revenues generated by its off field activities and on field performance, if they don’t we as fans will be giving them a hard time soon enough. Price elasticity of demand will ultimately decide on a price point which balances demand with profit. Let’s hope we get a great shirt at a fair price. As for Ashley who the **** is he
Football shirts are a ridiculous price already & JD is an expensive shop. IF this was only a case of pi$$ing off Mike then that’s petty. The only considerations should be selling as many shirts as possible to increase revenue. To do that you cannot sell them at a price point that excludes half the fans. I am sure NUFC have already considered this. It’s about building the global brand. Right, I’m off now to sell what remains of my dirty capitalist sole to the Devil. 😂
Rubo get as shirty ?!❤🖤🤍
The have monopoly to keep prices high on strip prices
Id rather pay a little more than give cashley another penny
I hear you can buy the shirts from China for about twenty quid.
Sorry but I won't give a penny to Ashley the Hut!
usually, with exclusive deals, the cost of the item would be cheaper than it being sold through a more broad means and it would be dependent on JD (in this case) selling a certain amount of shirts to keep it an exclusive. If they don't make the criteria of selling so many, it would then go on for general sale and wouldn't be bringing in the revenue to JD. JD benefit from it being cheaper. More sales would generate more revenue for them and keep the shirt exclusive
Sorry but fuck Ashley and Sports Direct. He fleeced the club with Castore deal which only benefited Castore and Sports Direct, just like the Stadium name change and advertising he got for sod all. I cant even walk into Sports Direct and buy a Newcastle shirt anyway, I have to order online, not knowing what size etc. Couldn't give a flying mate. I'd rather pay few quid more and go JD or club shop. Don't spent my money in Sports Direct and won't do either
because he started a cat case against us so yea he doesnt deserve shait imo
Spurs smashed you 4s at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium
But we scored that day so sling ya hook bellend.
Devils advocate on why people went to other places than the club shop and buying the shirt at fitness pro or sports direct: Stock.
We're all aware that Castore has had a huge stock issue every season because they're shit. Adidas should be able to provide a decent amount of stock.
Second: Quality
The quality of castore shirts has been shit, meaning people are more likely to want to buy them for less because there's no quality. With Adidas, you're going to get the quality.
I don't understand y this blind hype about adidas new kit, adidas as a whole are falling down the klif, Germany the home of adidas has ditched adidas for their rivals nike for their new kit
I hope we never do business with Nike after what they’ve done to the England tops🏴
Looky Looky man in Tenerife will do good business, 20 Euros a pop
I am not a Mike Ashley fan but they shouldn't be allowed to do this. Sports Direct often sold the tops cheaper than the Newcastle Utd store.
Of course they should be allowed to do it. Only a complete shithouse would buy anything from that fat bellends outlet
Its a rather bizarre scenario honestly. Newcastle should have all rights and discretion as to where/who can sell the tops. Bear in mind that buying from the club goes back to the club.
We talk about the cartel that runs the Premier League and yet when it suits, NUFC will hold a monpoly on where you can buy a club shirt. I know the club wants to increase its value, but it also wants to expand the brand to as big an audience as they can, but holding many a parent to a "take it or leave it" blackmail situation in a cost of living crisis is NOT the answer. It just drives customers into the 'knock off' market. If the club shop/online is the only sales channel then it must be with a price that attracts, rather than repels. God knows I detest Cashley with a passion, but its not like he is getting the shirts for nothing!
lived in norwich my whole life and he NEVER put toon shirts in his shitty shops and he had 2 of them!! if he wanted the club represented then he would put them in every store! wouldnt want that bloke making another penny on anything newcastle utd related. always had to goto JJB (old school lol) for a shirt until online got better
Blame the premier League that is making the owners maximise every chance to earn profit for the team
