I actually meant to say 'moral obligation' but the thrust of my post was that if you push them then there is a good chance that they will relent ! Most high street retailers are committed to customer satisfaction/goodwill and are afraid of adverse publicity so, for the sake of a few quid don't make a fuss ! It's worked for me in similar circumstances, although admittedly I have no experience with Sports Direct !

Thank you for your reasoned response, perhaps you could detail precisely why this approach won’t work !

Whatever 'disclaimer' they put out, you can still query it - the 'sale of goods act' states that they are obliged to sell to you at the 'marked price' (in this case the advertised reduction) ! If they claim that they are out of stock then tell them that you are prepared to wait for replenishment but at the price that they originally confirmed to you ! After all they induced you to purchase in the first place and many people may have signed up to their app under false pretences ! Don't just accept it, pursue it and you do have a very good chance that they will cave in..! ( Ps. 4o years in the retail business should have given me some idea of what actually happens behind the scenes )

If I were you I would query it and not let them off the hook ! If they continue selling the article, even at a higher price they are still obliged to stick to your original ‘contract’ when stock is available ! Quote the ‘sale of goods act’ and advise them that you are prepared to take it further ! No guarantee that this will work but if they squirm out of it then it really is sharp practice !

Actually Sports Direct are the one's taking the hit ! As I explained previously, Under Armour will be paying the royalty to Saints and their price to SD will be unchanged so for us, everyone is a winner

I have been quoted 7 - 10 days but maybe that is because the printing on the back takes longer ?? Although it may also be because they are delivering to the store on the IoW !

I have a vague memory of us beating Slough 9-0 at their place with Paul Rideout getting about 4 !

Quite simple, they just reduce their mark up ! Pretty sure that the cost price they pay to Under Armour remains the same and as Saints royalty fee comes directly from UA then the club do not lose out ! It's basically a 'loss leader' from Sports Direct for a very limited period and is very much a normal retail practice these days ! Be happy and take advantage is my advice :)

This is what always gets me, they over inflate expectations big time ! Radio Solent were playing 'Congratulations' and 'So you win again' before matches, there were 25 page pull out victory spreads in the tabloids, Kane was given a rating of 11/10 for the Panama game FFS so no wonder it feels like a let-down in the end ! It's now easy to say that this squad will develop and improve for WC 2022 but that assumes that all the other big nations will sit on their arses and go backwards which ain't gonna happen ! Anyway fourth was ok but in reality (given the way the draw panned out) it was a huge chance which might never come again in most of our lifetimes !

Welcome Jimmy Bullard

I got my free tickets for the 2 friendlies online before 9th July as per the system. After the 9th, I tried to get tickets for my grandson sitting next to me (seats are available either side) but it won't let me because it says I'll be leaving a 'single seat' which is not allowed ! Now I have to phone and no doubt pay a surcharge, if they don't get you one way, they always seem to find another way to make it difficult ! Grrrr....

Word is that Les was rifling through his files found A Gunn and said I’ll have a shot at him

Totally agree, I only mentioned Bednarek as Heisenberg omitted to include him in his post about our CB's !

Correct ! Potholes are prevalent and the road up to Ventnor golf club is definitely 'off road' so my tractor does have it's uses

We also have Bednarek so if we sign the new guy that'll make 5 CB's !

Worst drivers on the Isle of Wight are the ancient wrinkles ! Almost every day you encounter OBS ('old biddy syndrome') ! Ps. I drive a BMW 'tractor' and hope that not too many people class me as 'obnoxious'

I used to visit China about 4 times a year for more than 30 years and never had a problem ! The multiple entry visa is the best way (and yes, you always need a letter of invitation) but on the few occasions that we were caught short we got them in 24 hours from an office in Hong Kong !

I know that he blows hot and cold but I really think that we will miss his creativity! Anyway, such is life and we all move on.... Thanks and good luck, Dusan !

I liked that one !

That could be me ?? ( except it's Partick, not Patrick ) And FWIW I think that it is a brilliant signing !

There are clearly different ways of looking at comparisons. You could say that one is unproven at the top level and just recovering from an ACL injury whereas the other is a current international with champions league experience to boot !

Have watched him play for Scotland against decent opposition (including England) and he looked very good to me ! For £7mil I would bite their hand off !

Snap !

Good - Saints Bad - Liverpool Ugly - Pompey

Actually they do pan out - speculative thread, we don’t sign the player then he and Alpine get to slag off Les & co ! It’s called ‘Heisenberg syndrome’, very clever !
