Can't seem to sell enough shirts, so how to make them...

 

 

CHELSEA FAN PHOTO SHIRT COST

 

CHELSEA is banning fans who have not bought its new £44.99 shirt from appearing in the world's biggest-ever team photo.

 

Anyone who turns up in last season's kit will be told they cannot pose for the record-breaking attempt with Jose Mour-inho and his players.

 

One fan blasted: "What a great marketing ploy to sell the new shirts.

"I'm going with a family of four so I need to shell out almost £150 - I just can't afford it."

 

The club is today inviting thousands of fans to take part in the photo in front of its West Stand.

 

Mourinho says in a letter to supporters: "The squad will be wearing the new Adidas kit so we need you to do the same.

 

"If you do not wear your new kit you will be allocated seating in another part of the ground."

@ Chelsea

 

They hate their fans nearly as much as everyone else

I feel sorry for their fans. They have had their club ripped from them, changed around and sent down s*** lane and then charged double any other club even though their owner can pay 30mil for sheva.

 

you think they would reward the fans who have been with the club for a while with a 'free' season, or a season of reduced prices as a thank you. I mean, really what revenue does season tickets bring in for a club like chelsea?

The old school fans have largely been replaced by muppets.

Doesn't seem to affect Asia though, can't believe the amount of people wearing the new Chelsea strip on the streets here in HK...

[Greenoak]

Yes but only a cretin pays £40 for a real shirt in HK. In asia they are nearly all fakes.

By definition only a cretin buys a chelsea shirt, real or otherwise.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

That is outrageous and typical of Kenyon using their supporters as pawns in his attempts to prove his business acumen !

[Herbie von Smalls]

nothing to do with this being an adidas-sponsored event then?

 

i'm not so sure LFC wouldn't insist on the same criterion for a similar photo set-up

Am I a cretin for wanting to buy our new shirt then?

[Guest Jack Bauer]

Yes
