Quote: jon normy "Hubby went in on saturday (not a rugby fan) he said the prices of some of the gear was ridiculous.
He said most football teams prices are cheaper by far than than the gear in the cas shop. He does buy lots of football gear by the way.


Who exactly does the pricing.'"


I don't know who does the pricing but it's ridiculous. FWIW my mum went and compared some items with the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats online shop, and they are by far cheaper.'"


And what exactly happened to WTW last season? icon_wink.gif

Quote: binks "If the club offered a primani hoody with a logo on it they would be criticised for poor quality stuff.'"


Last i heard Primani didn't make RL merchandise.

Quote: binks "Get puma stuff there critiqued for the cost, usual case of damned if you do damned if you don't'"


I'll be damned if i do. As i have already said. FWIW i don't think Puma is all it's cracked up to be. I thought the Kukri gear was much longer lasting.

Quote: binks "Ps my wakey friends will clarify but I think there new stock hasn't hit the shops yet ?'"


I can only quote prices of what is already on their online store, which is much cheaper by the way. And i'm sure when their new stock hits the shops, it will be much cheaper also.

Quote: binks "And what exactly happened to WTW last season?
Whatever mate. At least they are thinking of the fans, and not putting a hole in their pockets at the one time of year everybody is skint to start off with.

By the way... Didn't we make a loss this year for the first time in god knows how long...?

Primark was a meta fore. We are all allowed our opinion if you don't like puma fair play

Times have changed since kukri the world moves on. The club need to balance quality with profit sorry but that's life

A jacket on there is £60.00.

We made one profit out of the last god knows how many losses. Rugby League is a loss-making sport. There are only 2/3 clubs that turn a profit.

Puma hoodie from Sports Direct, you can get for £20, stick a Cas badge on it and then it will be £40, so your paying £20 for the badge.

Everything seems cheaper in the Cas shop than that of Tottenham who also have their merchandise supplied by Puma

shop.tottenhamhotspur.com/catego ... r?TRE00034

Pricing is always going to be a tough decision but I'm always happy with Puma products and if we decided to go for a cheaper supplier like others do then there would be complaints about that.

Quote: Fully "But Cas aren't holding a gun to your head and telling you that you must buy goods at this time of year?'"


Pricing the stock as they are, they are expecting us to pay that amount.

The thing is... I would love to show up on boxing day with the whole family wearing the clubs colours, looking fresh and wearing new merchandise. But the club simply arn't making that affordable. At one time it was affordable to do that.

Quote: Fully "Equally, all clubs charge prices like that. Look at Warrington with ISCfar superior quality brand to Puma, and 2. Warrington fans in general [imay[/i be tempted to dig a bit deeper.

I have an ISC England shirt. Doesn't feel/seem any different to the Puma (Genesis) Cas shirts.

You have to remember that Cas will get it at X cost from Puma and will then have to increase price for both margin and profit.

We all have our opinions mate. And mine is that i don't particularly have any love for Puma. Thew first year we had them the shirt was primrose yellow rather than Amber. The second year Diggerland fell off the front in a matter of weeks. And last year the same happened with the Probiz logo. Added to that we are way down their love list because they have so many [ibigger[/i sports clubs as their customers.

On a positive note, at least we do now get the home shirt in store for Christmas! Which i am pleased about.

Always thought the ISC leisurewear was better than Puma's.

The polyester polo shirts by Puma in the club shop have a naff feel to them, as much as i would like a cotton replica playing shirt i have to accept Puma will make them out of polyester but the polo shirts as well? icon_sad.gif

I'm with you on that - the fabric used for all modern replica shirts is bloody awful; makes you sweat like a fat lass in a nightclub.

I'd pay an extra tenner for a good quality cotton shirt, with a proper collar.
