What's the big deal some blokes trying to earn a living. Give them a break you don't have to buy anything. Think of it as free advertising for argyle. Pleased there's a market for it.
A few blokes unjustly earning a living from Argyle's hard work. It is Argyle's brand to sell, Argyle's market to exploit, Argyle's money that has been on the line every time it's been committed to a new player; Argyle's risk.
The club isn't a charity, nicely giving local tat pushers a chance to earn an easy living. You only have to read the Leap of Faith thread, look back to 5 years ago to realise what a delicate balance running a business actually is even without lazy IP thieves cutting into your margins.
How about I head down to Drake Circus, bring along a few dodgy iPhones, some knock-off Rolexes and a few stolen Ralph Lauren shirts and try my luck? Just because Argyle isn't a luxury global brand doesn't stop it from being theft.
This is our club, we've backed the greens through good and bad, thick and thin; why should a couple of chancers selling "Plymouth" hats, scarves and t-shirts make a single penny from our club's hard work.
