I'm thinking this isn't exclusive, but continent-specific and just for certain markets, so other completely separate retail partnerships can still be established in other markets, right? I think I've answered my own question. Edited July 19 by Marka Ragnos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted July 19 VT Supporter Share Posted July 19 (edited) Do we have an arm-patch sponsor? Must be hard to decide how to use that kind of sponsorship real estate. Edited July 19 by Marka Ragnos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newry_Villan Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I'm hoping this means I can take a dander into my local JD here in Ireland, stand and admire a Villa display, maybe try on a jersey and get a good fit without the hassle of a return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to move some Villa shirts to the end of other display rails, thus covering the shirts of other teams. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Villa kit/merch will be visible across cities and airports and much further reach than we’ve ever had. Can’t wait to pop into JD in town (mate) and actually see something Villa related. I’ve mentioned airports on here before, particularly Birmingham. The footfall is massive, there is a captive audience of 1000s a day all looking for souvenirs for family and to kill time, yet every time I’ve been you could buy England, United, Chelsea, Arsenal shirts, but not ours which is madness. Hopefully this now fixes it, as I reckon we could do huge numbers just from JD at BHX alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rent + costs of being air side would be horrific Same as we won't be putting a shop in the bullring any time soon, they take the piss with the rates Edit - when I did a construction project there (but I only did pre construction for about 6 months) we were told that boots and w h smith have a secure warehouse unit over the road from the airport landside, they get all their normal deliveries there, they have to unpack it all, get it checked by security and scanned, then they repackage it all and wrap it with some sort of "checked" bundle, they then load it up again and drive through the airport airside security gate who stop them and check the bundles but don't have to open them Villa can't make that pay Edited July 20 by villa4europe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 So I had the unfortunate pleasure of being dragged to Clarksons Farm last weekend and I'm not being funny, but the queue to stand in a tiny farm shop, filled with overpriced stuff was absolutely mental. I'm talking 2000 on Saturday/Sundays. His beer, is making him an absolute killing almost everywhere in the Cotswolds and is annoyingly, really **** nice. We should sell it at VP. Hawkstone it's called. Only 5.50 a pint directly from his brewery at the end of Bourton on the water's high street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich192 Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 The number of kits we have to sell to get the bonus from Adidas, does it matter if they’re bought from the club/Adidas officially, or will ones bought from JD count? I’d much rather try on in my local shop than order online. But if it doesn’t help the Villa, I’ll put up and order online. Ta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a historic post somewhere from @NurembergVillan that breaks down who makes what from a kit sale - essentially, buying from the club shop benefits the club most - in terms of reaching a sale number though, I'd imagine that's adidas having a sales target as a manufacturer rather than a retailer, so I'd expect it to be a target of sales no matter where they come from. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers were out there when Newcastle did their dodgy deal, the top 6 were getting £10-12m (arsenal was 5 years £10m a year) the other 4 were getting £1-2m, Newcastle then jumped to £7.5m Since then spurs and city have jumped to £20m a year and Liverpool were in talks to join them around that number Id be surprised if we get more than £5m It's an easy way of demonstrating how FFP is complete bollocks even if you try and artificially inflate the market with your owners money 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d much rather try on in my local shop than order online. But if it doesn’t help the Villa, I’ll put up and order online. Ta! I've always wondered about this. So just to clarify. The best outcome for the club is if merchandise is purchased from the club store or online club store. Kit purchases through Adidas and JD Sports will still count towards the total amount of kits sold and a potential bonus to the club from the adidas deal. Is this correct ?
