Manchester United have today been found guilty of price fixing of their shirts. Together with other companies a total of 19 million pounds has been laid against the makers and sellers of replica shirts. About 50 million Australian $$$$ [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] From a personal point of view this is a brilliant decision. Down here we have a similar system of charging fans of rugby league teams about 800% more than what a similar material shirt without the logo goes for. I hope there will soon be a change

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of megalomaniacs!
Personally I wouldn't give you 2 bob for one to wash my car with!  On a serious note, all clubs are guilty of this, Man Ure are just being made an example of because they are the biggest. Football clubs rip their fans off because they can. [ 08-01-2003, 10:34 AM: Message edited by: Donut ]
