054123 Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Disgraceful. the top for a 7 year old is 54.99, the shorts 30.00. I run a small business and am commercially minded, but this just seems wrong. Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Cliche statement but I’m sure if it was half the price they’d make more profit overall. I’m sure they know their costs etc though, they’re probably maximising profits made. It just doesn’t seem that way from the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got no problem with chancing your arm with adults, but it just seems wrong and unnecessary with children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just been down the shop and noticed that as well. £40 for a child’s top. I’m not point scoring but how the England top can be 24% more expensive again is awful. Makes the season ticket so attractive.

Agard Days Night Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Daylight robbery I agree but the problem lies in the fact enough people will pay it whatever the price so why would the manufacturer drop their prices. It’s a misnomer to think sell it at half the price and you’ll sell double because then production costs also increase so profit will be down overall.
