It was stupidly hot in there, so I got out after about 1 minute. Definitely discourages browsing.

Yes I also popped in the Superstore and quickly left as It was so Hot.
The prices are probably in line with most Football Club shops though.

I got there early, around 1pm and it was a good temp. Popped in around 2 and it was unbearable.

Unfortuantely, the clubs mantra is now 'squeak every penny out of the fans' so everything is gonna be over priced. It's sensible business, but doesn't really fit in with what opinion on what the club should be. But there you go.

That's got to be the same as a lot of clubs,though.

Well yeah the other mantra is 'bringing the club in line with other clubs'. Which again, is fine, but not what i think we should be striving for.

Its crazy to ask for £40 for a football top especially for kids. I think most clubs have reduced prices for kids??

Its not just the kit prices, everything in that shop is crazy pricing. £12 for a small soft football, £7 for a small water bottle! As stated surely if the prices were a little cheaper. Does the shop ever do a sale?

Some people just whinge. Too expensive, then go buy a £5 tee at at cheap shop. Prices are probably in line with most clubs and, having bought 3 items, the quality is OK’ish. Though the badge is poo poo IMO.

Hot? Get over it. There will be half a dozen games before it cools, so why spend megabucks on a system that will hardly get used. Probably didn’t help with people numbers for the first game.

Clubs rely on profits from sales, no doubt helping fund the club expenditure on team issues. Everybody wants new players but whinge at an extra few quid on a shirt to help pay for them. We are a commercial entity, need to make money to survive. Get over it.

I wouldn`t buy the actual First Team shirt as i probably wouldn`t wear it that much...............I have bought a few polo shirts in the past years and the quality is ok.
Those moaning about the prices should just bear in mind that they`re `supporting` the club in another way.

Yeah and perhaps they might after the last trick.I mean the staff do have to put up with it as well.

Perhaps we can get one on loan.There must be an air-con unit which isn't in the first team out there somewhere.

Club starts charging disabled fans - moaners at it again
Club does a whole store refit but doesn't put in aircon - moaners at it again
Club charge £6 for a sausage in a roll - moaners at it again

Considering what happened to this club VERY recently where owners did what they want and went unchallenged for a very long time, I'm holding my ground and standing up to things i dont agree with. If that makes me a moaner, then so be it. We all should have learnt that this is our club and owners are just guardians who shouldn't take the piss out of a loyal fan base.

Never understood the response of 'if its too expensive dont buy it'. Like fair if we're talking about cars but Orient fans are getting priced out of a f*cking hotdog ffs! People shouldn't have to stop doing things, or getting things they could once afford but can no longer afford, all because the club want to squeak another penny out.

Also frustrating as i saw the hotdogs in big jars under the tils...the ones you get for £1.50 for 6 from macro's.
