"Ashley has made his money by buying brands. The first major brand he bought was ]Donnay. In February 2003 Ashley bought the ]Dunlop Slazenger brand for £40 million, followed up by acquiring outdoor gear manufacturer ]Karrimor in March 2003,][6] ]Kangol for £10 million,][7] boxing brand ]Lonsdale, most of these brands were bought from distressed sellers. After considering a takeover,][8] Ashley took a £9 million stake and signed a long-term deal with ]Umbro.][9]"
But if youre looking for a ball to play with regularly, save your money for ones around £15 with a padded feel because these are rock hard when pumped and hard to get any power behind them.
Agreed, poor quality. My football team have had a couple of these and they last about 2 weeks before popping or splitting.
The more expensive Mitre or Nike balls are the only ones worth considering.
The cynic in me (although I think Im fairly accurate) thinks that Mike Ashley has bought these previously 'decent' brands, and used their previously good names to make a profit. Within two years, these brands will be considered as 'rubbish'.
You get what you pay for. Get a Nike £10 one, it'll be worth it.
It honestly isn't the same, not just talking about badge. Depends how you're using it. If you run football teams then I know that these will fall to pieces after being used within 2 weeks. My OH runs a number of teams & and were also stating from same point of view & both them & my OH say the same thing from experience. Nothing to do with the badge on them, it's more an endurance thing. He bought 12 of these for training balls once, now he buys proper ones that last 2 seasons so cheaper in long run. Cost about £7 - £15 each depending on whether it's a match or training ball ;-) If you're unsure buy them & try them.
For the kids in the garden or for a kick around they are perfect. A great deal as stated :thumbsup:
However the balls are not that good, good for playing keep it up but when my mates play a match, we find it hard to keep the ball for 3 days! Its either popped or lost!
yeh its 99p dnt expect it to be brilliant,
if the ball pops or blows just take it back to sportsdirect with your receipt and get an exchange (if they have any left, has to be done within the ball sale week, ot else you'll have to pay the full amount £2.99), or just get your money back SPORTSDIRECT DONT GIVE REFUNDS ONLY CREDIT NOTES BUT IF IT IS A MANUFACTURES FAULT YOU ARE ENTITLED TO 100% CASH REFUND (within 28 days and remember to keep your receipt) and dont let anyone tell you, that you cant have your money back BY LAW you are entitled to your money back for faulty goods.:thumbsup:
