The Boro Club Shop

Allegedly, there is an issue between Boro and Errea regarding shipment fees. Loadsa kit sat in a shipping container. I have no idea how legit this rumour btw, just passing it on!

just keep bashing your bishop and the football club.


if we sold 50,000 a season (and we dont) by your calculations @90%profit (and we dont) we would make enough profit to buy not a lot in the shape of a footballer - it may be possible to put it towards the gas and electricity bill of the football club, but i would be surprised indeed if it was enough to pay them in total.


a 'fortune' it is not in professional football income streams or terms.

That wasn't my point. You said there might be a profit if we sell 80% of them. My point was that the margin should be so big that every single sale is profitable.

You are right it wouldn't be a fortune but it might be enough to do something like reduce the price of the kit to make it more accessible to more people or ticket prices, delivery costs etc.

Anyone defending the way Middlesbrough run the club shop is either the biggest rose tinted, club can do no wrong rara or an idiot. They are the most amateur operation imaginable selling Primark quality tat at John Lewis prices. They deserve all the criticism they get.
 
I was told Boro were far too cautious with the initial order in the summer believing they could put another order in, it back fired because the lead time for a 2nd order wouldn't of come in time for Christmas so they haven't gone ahead with it. No more new kits this season.
 
Get the kids some Boro T shirts from one of the many local start ups that produce clobber, don't go out of date and good for the community?

The negativity the new shirts unveiling got I can see why the club acted as cautiously as they did.
