I think the club had a partnership with them so that if you purchased Crossed Swords products directly from the club shop, the proceeds went towards the Academy. Not sure if that's still the case.

They had / have a good relationship with the Club and the guy behind CSC is a great bloke and HUGE Gashead so very confident the Club would not have missed out at all.

I may be wrong, but if you mean Richard Tincknell, I'm sure I read somewhere that he passed on the ownership of the company to someone else about 3 or 4 years ago. |

I'm just waiting until they cut their prices and put other clothes retailers to the sword.

Richard did pass over to new people. He did give money over to the club,I bought several things from him. I n fact I am wearing one of his hoodies at this moment! |

Thought you’d like to hear from the owners on this one 😄. We have an arrangement with the club so the profits are shared with the money raised by the club going to the Development Squad, with the exception of one line where all the money goes to the Development Squad.
We purchased the business from a fellow gashead, who approached us as he was looking for an owner who had the same ethics as he did. Since owning Crossed Swords we have tried to plough any profit back into the club where possible, or into local grass roots football or charitable concerns. This year we were super proud to be able to be one of the sponsors of the reformed Gasgirls 😄.
We love running Crossed Swords because, for us, it’s about supplying quality products at a sensible price whilst being able to give back to the club we support and the community. We have met many fellow gasheads, which we thoroughly enjoy.
We hope that our efforts are enjoyed by you all.
UTG 💙
