  I went into the club shop this week to buy a shirt, the shirt was the price I expected. When I looked at the other fare on sale I was gobsmacked, a bar of chocolate 4.99 , a small wooden chopping board 19.99.
This is not what the GTFC shop is about, there was nothing that I thought that could be a stocking filler.

Does anyone else think that the buyer for the shop has got it wrong? What's changed?

The price of everything has gone up, the club shop isn’t exempt from this cost prices will be higher than before, I’d be suprised of margins aren’t similar though.

Ironically, the person most responsible for those high prices has seemingly had no problem sourcing GTFC merchandise.

Anyone who thinks this is down to Brexit should visit mainland Europe at some point - it’s always been more expensive there, and still is.

Liz Truss didn’t help matters, though.

Have you ever heard of inflation?

It seems expensive because the pound is so weak compared to every other significant currency. Nothing to do with Brexit of course.

Went in myself a few weeks ago and was surprised at some of the prices, especially the chopping board!!
I laser engrave gifts myself in Grimsby & mentioned it to the staff who mentioned they buy the goods online. So passed on my business card but not heard anything back.
I am currently selling GTFC Oak coasters from Ideally Different in Oole Street, Cleethorpes. £1.00 from each sale goes to the Disabled Supporters Club.
Sold around 60 at the moment & just at this minute making some more to go in the shop (only about 30 left).

Oole Road  , only know because I used to work at "General Motor Repairs" down there.
