Merchandise Sale - Linton Street - 31/8
Not happy Jan
Plenty of people buying stuff - but a lot were not!
$200 - signed player issued jumper
$120 - unsigned player issue jumper
$40 shorts
$10 socks
Seemed like a money grab - no bargains to be had here folks.
TBF - Prices are similar to Fangear and Jimm Kidd - but without the shipping - just not worth the trip

Disappointing.
Melbourne Storm are selling left over jumpers from this year for $39.95, im sure our club could've had some real bargins aswell.

Looked like a rip off from the email. AFL merchandise is unbelievably over-priced.
Compared to the deal that Geelong get with Cotton On - who provide great gear at decent prices - we are getting smashed.
Typical St Kilda management.

Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

Not always - but this one was especially so - they have introduced player signed - and if you can't get an autograph then this is a cheapish way - at $200 for a player signed jumper - but I always thought getting it signed was half the fun.
Last year they had past jumpers at about $25.00 - this year - $80.00.
Even training tops were $60.00ish if I recall.

Just heard about this - poor effort by the club. Not aligned to other years... jumpers used to be $50.Sainter_Dad wrote: ↑Sat 31 Aug 2019 11:18am Not happy Jan

The fact there is left over merchandise suggests it couldn’t sell / be auctioned off during year.
Probably happens when we are ~$12m in debt...

Perhaps Marketing still think supporters are ok with paying a premium out of devotion and consider it a donation the club deserves - despite the last 8 years of buffoonery. I don't think they are economically savvy or have the street smarts to be able to run a stall at a country market.
