I'm guessing a lot of it is how much ASDA are actually paying for the stock. ASDA's margin on clothing tends to be fairly high (to off-set the lower margin on food products) so I'd be interested to see how much Bradford are actually being paid from those sales.

Leeds did have a tie-in with JJB but, IIRC, their financial position has put the buffers on that current partnership.

They had them in the window the other day so i thought i would go take a peak, cant see them getting much more of merchandise in imo, and cant see them selling much now seen as the rhinos store is in town now.

£39.99 for them though, with the new shop you might aswell buy direct from the Leeds store in the St Johns.

I got my old mans Leeds home shirt from that asda store at crown point last year, they had a smattering of items not great, but good enough for the odd impulse buy.

Rather get it a few days earlier, and then take it home, no folds or out in it then and can get it home straight away.
