I can get full Barca strips including socks delivered for £15 from EBay from Hong Kong.
I bought the laddie 5 for summer holidays.

He's no Barca fan but was delighted with them.

His Hibs strip was about £60.

Off-topic: but why 5?

5 of the same kit - or 5 different kits!?

Why won't it be allowed?

If you were playing a home game would you want half the allocation to be away fans? Naw, me neither

Possibly fakes but if you consider that pretty much every piece of Nike clothing will be manufactured in China its also likely that they are genuine, but rejected from production for silly things like wonky stitching or slight damage which nike will absorb as a manufacturing loss and the factory will sell on to these guys on ebay.

My parents go to turkey on holiday every year and the sell strips there for £12 with the shorts and socks included. You can't tell the difference. The wee man gets himself about 5 new kits every year.

My Chelsea supporting mate bought a Chelsea top from a market in Turkey for £3 sterling including name on the back. The name on the back was Rampard. True story. I've seen the top.

going back to the thread !

spoke to some people on the job we all know about the seat delay however the wrong type of concrete has been used that holds up the main support this has to be dug out and recast and left for 6 weeks to set properly. another delay !

Progress on the 'glass wall' seems to have moved on not a jot in weeks now. And it still looks dire:

The red maroon square make itvlook even more gastly and lots of daylight still coming in from pitch showing little progress.

Yup - it's plain to see why fans of 'Charity Thieves FC' think we'll be jealous of this once it's finished .................................................. ...............

What happened to the old Porty High School when they pulled it down?

4 different strips. I ordered two of the same colour by accident.
Purple , pink , orange and green.

Add in hi Hibs strip and that was him for his holidays.

Used to do it with the eldest laddie a few years ago too.
The quality is not too shabby either.

Sorry , I should have mentioned...
I am under no illusion regarding their authenticity.

The sellers get removed quite often and eBay will and me a message telling me that I had bought stuff from a seller who was breaching their code etc.
I've always received the strips.

If true where are our strips made and what is the profit to the club?

I know other teams will have the same sort of deals through Nike and the like, but its staggering if they are being made there and upping the price by both manufacturer and club!!!

Again , apologies .

These are fake.

Saying that , about 8 years ago I bought my eldest laddie the genuine Barca strip direct Barcelonas website and a full Hibs kit from the Hibs shop.

Can't remember the exact prices but the genuine Barca kit (inc delivery) was £10 cheaper than the Hibs strip from the shop.

***sleeping giant*** · 23-08-2017 10:38 PM

One last thing :-)

I should've used the multi quote but I'll mess it up.

The only reason I got Barca kits this year was that was the only choice :-)
Last year I got Argentina , Germany ,Italy and Spain.
Again , those were the only choices.

Name and number on the back too.

Go on then.

***sleeping giant*** · 23-08-2017 11:01 PM

The stand will be completed . They will be happy.
After this thread tumbles down the pages there will be a new thread about their impending doom.
We'll all get frothy again but they will just amble along.

Hearts are pish

I vaguely remember a story of a Rangers or Celtc fan buying a strip in the opposite teams colours.

What the hell were they thinking?

On the positive side for them it will look unlike pretty much any other main stand in the Scottish Premiership so you could maybe argue it will be distinctive and quirky.

On the negative side it literally looks like an old school from the late 1960s. Or some municipal eyesore. It's really, really awful.

It's a Glass Curtain!

Can't you tell from the fact that the curtain seems to have been opened, hence the reason you can't currently see it.

They were thinking we'd be seething with jealousy or jealousing with seethery or something.

That's a great idea.

You'd be throwing the strips out in a few months when he grows so you've clothed him, kept him happy and saved yourself a good few bob.

Unless he's 17, likes.
