With regard to the Ebay Auctions as everyone knows even if your image is copyrighted it is very difficult to keep tabs of who is selling what. If you go onto Ebay now I bet there are pages and pages of Chelsea and Man Utd gear with their logos on. I agree with anyone who says we would prefer the money they are making to come to the club, that is why at certain times we expressively tell people on the news page to only either buy on ebay from accringtonstanleyofficialauctions or through our club shop. The merchandise and commercial is connected in someway but it is separate in others but we really are doing our very best to get as much money into the club both in the merchandise and commercial avenues we have, I can assure you of that and Bagpuss, boy am I glad your not my boss lol
