[Football] Sheffield Wednesday to kick out fans from stadium wearing fake shirts

[Thunder Bolt]

If it is Manchester City’s 115 charges KC it takes him 23 seconds to earn the money to buy a shirt.

It’s money for old tat.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Why put a loan players name on anyway?

With Fati's name on it, in years* it will be worth a fortune

*Could be 5 years but here again it could be hundreds of years.

 

[Bald Head]

Another thing what makes me angry is funding the councils Trading Standards Dept with some of my Council Tax so they can protect the profits of multi-million pound companies,the majority of people know their buying a fake because of the low price.

 

[El Presidente]

Just out of interest, what sort of mark-up is there on shirts. If I was guessing, I'
say it costs no more than £15 per shirt tops to manufacture in bulk and ship. So a
200%-300% mark-up at least?

For an £65 Albion shirt it works out along the followino lines
VAT £11
Production cost £12
Licencing £5 (to club)
Retailer £16
Manufacturer profit £16
Marketing £3
Distribution £2

So they’re now literally the fashion police?

You could buy a genuine Ansu Fati shirt which hadn’t been worn and like Prince Andrew, it would be sweat free, but in Fati’s case it was because he never moved faster than a walk.

If you think Fake Shirts are bad, best not to try out Fake Taxi.

 

[Bald Head]

It’s not illegal. Entry into the ground is under rules they are free to create themselves providing they are not in any way discriminatory. Everyone is being treated equally so there is no law being broken.

How the f*** they are going to police and enforce this rule however seems pretty much impossible. Are they going to have someone checking the label of everyone arriving at the game in a replica shirt? Good luck getting in before the full time whistle Massive fans.

They will take them so the material and stitching can be analysed while the poor fans wait outside the ground freezing their nuts or titties off.

Next up, people with fake tans will be thrown out.

 

[Normal Rob]

In winter will you have to take coats/jumpers off in order to have your shirt checked?

 

[Bodian]

Nice sensationalist headline by the OP. A complete non story. I'll wager not a single person will be "kicked out". There might be a few quiet words re "next time" but come on you think the club will turf out little kids at the actual game ? OP is fishing.

Not the OP's fault really. The SWFC press release does indeed say that people 'could be asked to leave'.

However, what happens when I wear my Beneton T-shirt to the game with my Rollex watch on?

 

[Bald Head]

Next up, people with fake tans will be thrown out.

I'd support that.

I’ll let my grandson know he’s got an investment.

 

[Diablo]

Will Brighton Stewards be checking to see if anyone wearing fake knickers,

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Why put a loan players name on anyway?

You only get a seasons wear out of a home kit or the Euro kit so I don't see what difference it makes.

That said, he wore it on his Park run this morning so it will definitely have more sweat on it than one worn by the man himself.

Barbz will be all over this one

What a bizarre thing to target your fans/customers for, they ought to mind their own business/explore how to make the real deal actually affordable to their demographic.

 

[GloryDays]

‘Information passed onto the relevant parties’. Who the hell are the relevant parties, what a pathetic threat

Yeah. Utterly pathetic. “Could” is also a significant word here.

How would he know though, that my yellow lightning bolt home shirt is not the real deal?

It would actually be hilarious if hundreds of people wore these to games.

What a bizarre thing to target your fans/customers for, they ought to mind their own business/explore how to make the real deal actually affordable to their demographic.

And also who are they targeting here? People not wearing the official macron / Nike / adidas etc?

And how would they feel if the fan wore a legit kit from a previous manufacturer. Say, all the Wednesday supporters arrived in their Pony, Puma and Diadora shirts. Will they sanction those fans for not having the new Macron gear?

Lame AF.
