Errea....new kit supplier?

So which part makes you laugh?
People being plunged into poverty or people spunking 100k on a motor?

It was a figure of speech, I guess it just highlights there will always be some people above or unaffected by a squeeze on incomes and budgets.

 

[borbokis]

To be honest I laugh when people talk about a cost of living crisis. I work in the automotive industry and one of the clients we work with can't build enough circa 100k cars quick enough, and they've got waiting customers.

It's like everything, for some people the cost of energy and petrol increasing will tip them into poverty/difficulty, yet for some it will just mean a little less disposable income but no noticeable impact on lifestyle.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. I don't know anyone who would drop 100k on a car personally but obviously there is a %age of the population who have more than they can spend in a hundred lifetimes

Can't believe we'll be rubbing shoulders (and probably producing an incredible amount of static electricity) with the likes of Aldershot town from next season!

Mardy arse

The client we are working with has a backlog of orders in 6 figures for a circa 100k car.

Of course there's people who can lay down that cash, but my mind boggles when I think of "normal" people potentially shelling out, i don't know, say 1500 quid a month on leasing a motor.

Of course I wasn't born yesterday, but still astounds me how many people are willing to spend that much dough on a car.

It's not about affordability or not, it's would you do it.

No I wouldn't

 

[NuddysGloves]

No I wouldn't

I would if I could afford to

It's all relative though isn't it.

If you live in a £500k+ house, a £100k car is a 5th of that value.
It's quite common to see a £40k car on a £200k house driveway.

What I don't get is when you seen them outside lower value homes. There's a car near me, couple of years old and worth £80k.
It parks on the street outside maybe a £160k house. Imagine having a car like that and not even having a driveway for it.

Aye same, why not.

 

[Frank the tank]

Can you afford it ?

 

[NuddysGloves]

Can you afford it ?

No......not yet!

I assume the club tweet of 96/97 shirt was confirmation to not having any pinstripes on new strip

 

[Ginger Gnome]

The club tweeted that because they're selling a replica of it. Seems unlikely that they'd start selling that if the proper shirt was also going to be plain red and white stripes with no black bits.

Have it on good authority that it's a remake of the Diamond kit

Shoes off in the car park situation is on the cards.

Would like to see the diamonds make a comeback on an away shirt/3rd kit just for one season.

Preferably on someone else’s kit. Wednesday can have ’em.

There's a 50k souped up Merc that parks on the road near me outside a council house. What does that mean? Ah yes, he's probably a coke dealer

We're not allowed laces

 

[Holmfirth Blade 1977]

We're not allowed laces

Those laces look to be printed on, it would confuse some of the dumb cheating gits we play, it would take at least 45 minutes for them to realise they cannot pull our lads back with them!

I wouldn't say it makes me laugh but the whole cost of living crisis is blown way out of proportion just like everything else by the media.

I remember the big credit crunch and cost of living crisis years ago. Media all over it like a rash, country on it's knee's etc etc and yet you went to The Centertainment near Meadowhall and had to drive round for about 10 minutes just to find a parking space as the cinema and all the restaurants were all packed out.

There is something about that shirt that really grinds my gears, and not just the collar. Got it...
