Remember in 2004 when Umbro mate all the shirts cheaper than most club kits even with names and numbers on? Could walk in to Sports Direct and get one for £30ish. Everyone had them.

Now its just DHGate or nothing. Price is a piss take and the retro kits are generally better anyway.

it's the USA model two tier thing. USA pricing

85 for the shit version. fuck off. I hope they sell very few .

The thing with the US versions is you get the expensive replica shirts with numbers & names sewn on or the oboes that are just stuck on for a cheaper price (You do for NFL shirts), so it does make some sense.

Be thankful, NHL now have a total two tier system that changes the kit manufacturer. Player spec are Adidas, £150/£200+, fan spec are Fanatic £75+, which are shiiitttt. Loads of issues with quality, player numbers on the Fanatic kits being sewn on upside down, wrong teams, mismatching sleeve numbers, all sorts.

Next year Fanatic are taking over the player spec jerseys too. I'd love an Adidas Rangers jersey but they're so much money.

Not yet, its getting picked up on friday to go back to workshop to see if they can locate the stand

This was genuinely their idea. Ive looked online and the parts are discontinued on spares and samsung website. You can get them on ebay at a stupid price but ive told them i dont want any second hand shite, they lost it after all

As soon as they pick it up on friday im ringing them to tell them i want it written off under the insurance as 1) i cant watch it without the stand, and 2) its been 28 days that i have been without it working when their policy states it should be 14 days….

Will see what happens

They’ll no doubt at some point blame the Tories. Be stupid if they don’t. Honeymoon period and all that. Big question thereafter will be when are you going to reinstate it?

My bill is already going up by 60% + this April.

And this asset-stripped, bankrupt company has a plan.  To increase bills by 40%.

I'll take my shit elsewhere.  Oh wait a moment...

Ofcom.  What do you guys actually do?
