It's that time of year for me once again to show my lack of love for the club by criticising their policies and lack of interest in their fans. Particularly the younger fans. ( few we have left )
3 weeks ago I bought 2 of my sons World cup strips. Nike kits with shorts and socks included £30 each for the whole thing. 2 weeks ago I bought 2 Scotland kits at £35 each for the whole thing.
Today I went onto the AFC website and refused to pay £58 each for a kids kit which lets face it comes from a catalogue.
Kits for my younger again son aren't even on sale yet and probably won't be until after August. The quality of this product ( if previous is anything to go on ) is likely to be awful.
Where's the incentive for me to buy kits from AFC for my kids when they ask for Man U, Liverpool, Chelsea kits at 2 thirds of the cost.
As I've said before the money is not the issue, it is the deviation between what AFC charge against the others. (old firm, perish the thought £30 ) They aren't interested in getting our kids to the games and supporting the team. Instead they concentrate on bleeding dry the existing support.
If someone at AFC reads this, PLEASE NOTE: my 6 year old has watched every Holland game since getting his strip, my 4 year old watched Italy and cheered them on, because he had a strip. Just think what a dons strip would do to them with a team they can go to see??
