City store pricing

Just got the new shirt £40.50 with sc discount.
My mate at work got hers from sportsdirect £40.00
So much for rewarding loyalty.
Also advertised 9am opening but shop opened at 10.10.
Not the best

saying that, she didn't get a city carrier bag :)

£40 at Sports Direct, and you also get free Premier League badges ;)

My mate works there and can get 15% discount on all products so the shirt would only cost £34. This saves me £11 but I prefer buying it from the actual city shop.

You know Sports Direct by the throw aways. As small defects that are noticed get sold on cheaper. Sometimes have to look hard to find it but its there!!

The reason that Sports Direct are cheaper is that they make less profit from each City Shirt sold and in order to bump that profit up, they are given cheap, old and shitty stuff that Umbro can't get rid off e.g. Old football boots. That's the reason why things are cheaper at Sports Direct.

Retailers are legally obliged to tell you if you are purchasing a product with a defect (no matter how small), so how do they get around this if what you are saying is true?

same with the dvd's - way more expensive in the Citystore than Amazon etc ( and I'm not just talking 50 p or so)
