Anyhow I don't think the price is that high when you compare it to costs of other shirts even other non league clubs charge higher prices
And as for going on about more money then other clubs coming ln from gate receipts then other clubs at the same level I think you want to try doing a little more research in to that before using itas a stick to try and beat the club with and you will find that as most clubs own the e own ground they don't have to pay someone 5000 a game they also get money from other things like sponsorship of the shirts and groundside advertising etc money from catering social clubs open all week
Non of these options apart from the shirt sponsorship are open to FC

Glazer defends his price rises partly on subsidies to the kids... I just find it strange that when FCUM are supposed to stand against the commercialism and all that aspect that's infiltrated the game, they couldn't make a good stand of releasing a shirt for say £15.
I'm not sure I was beating FCUM over the head about the amount they make on gate receipts, if they bring it in through supporters who want to watch, fair play that's the point of football, having people turn up and watch the game live. Evidently it distorts the competition, simply a fact of life
I'm not a great believer of the form of democracy we have in this country, a point raised earlier in this thread I believe. We're about to led by an unelected leader, where's the democracy there? Nor does everybodies vote count. Nor do people have enough say in the way they are governed, every half decade they get a say, from a limited choice, and the selections are all middle / high class candidates who live in their own bubble world. That system should be no defender of the FCUM approach! Personally, I'd prefer a single club owner, who supports the club, is sensible not putting the club at risk, and doesn't rip the supporters off. I see far more problems with the supporter owned approach
