I'd rather pay full price or kick a stone around the streets than buy a sun newspaper

Well looking at it another way, by not purchasing the paper and ball you are saving them money as both companies are subsidising the cost in an attempt to gain future business. So if you only purchased this one paper and made use of the offer, they are actually giving you money not the other way around..

Not the ball being advertised. Tried to get the £25 ball which is in the picture and the Tull would not process it. They are giving a synthetic ball currently priced at £12.49.
iceman22 to Db78

That's the same one, 12.49 at my local store too, reduced to half price to clear, not entirely sure what you mean by synthetic, but it's a better quality than the standard cheap plasticy leather found on your typical £10 Nike and Adidas replicas.
Hear added. Got one first thing this morning after seeing it in my weekend paper. Sold out now though(rochdale), told someone else about it and they confirmed sold out

Tried 2 stores. Both said they never had any stock of that football in the first place. Looks like "bait and switch" advertising by The Sun to get people to buy their rag when they see the offer on the front cover.

Believe it or not you ignorant t!t, there are alot of people from all over the uk who detest the Sun, not just scousers, I'm a scouser who hates them though, are you a scouse hater, so in turn you buy the Sun just to spite me?

supernews often give you the sun for free when you buy anything.rip voucher out and throw it in bin

Surprise suprise . Sports direct have sold out when we visited. One disgruntled lad

My son saw the ball picked one up and excitedly headed for the till. At the till we were told "Sorry that ball is not included in the offer". "Why I asked?"
"Only the ones with orange on are in the offer" What a con .
The voucher states that “specific designs may vary”. Other people I know who went to other stores were not told this.

Cold, Embarrasing how many of you people would use vouchers just to save a couple of quid even if it's vouchers with the Scummy newspaper that is "The Sun", you don't care that they print lies?
asiot to prynolfc
25 Mar 171#39
every tabloid newspaper print lies to suit their own agenda, most know to take what they print with a pinch of salt I personally only buy newspapers when there is a voucher I would use or a good deal within it.. and this is a good deal so heat from me
rooney10 to prynolfc
26 Mar 17#43
its not just a couple of quid though is it , its almost £20 if you get the better quality balls like we did. Paper went straight in the bin but we did keep the TV magazines though so please don't hate me too much :wink:
I do tend to forget my morals on occasion too when there are big savings to be had , its a flaw in my character and something I'm trying to deal with but damn Hukd keep showing me these crazy good deals like this !!
Thanks OP , bagged 2 great footballs ...back of the net for my 2 lads anyway !

Ok then, keep telling yourself and others that when you get told that you have no morales, they called Liverpool fans murderers, said we urinated on the dead, robbed from their pockets, etc. but I suppose you think thats alright because other papers print lies hahahha, what a way to live your life!

Maybe save a couple o quid but morally cold ❄.
rooney10 to AndyT328
26 Mar 17#45
Again , this isn't a couple of quid saving ...... FFS , is there anyone on here that can add up ?
You could argue it was morally wrong to buy any paper for 70p just to take advantage of an offer like this as I suspect these offers are mainly to reward its readers.
I bought the paper purely for this offer , had no intention of reading it and no intention of buying it again , that is unless there is a similar offer on.
Fact is , The Sun would not be in business if everyone did this so get a grip people , its the loyal customers who are supporting them , unlikely to be the few on here like myself who are always looking to take advantage of a HUKD bargain !

Sports direct one stop Birmingham lied and said to everyone balls sold out when the exact ball was in the shop ...They lied and said those balls are not the ones different material...when it's the Same ball my brother got from a different sports direct!

Best thing to do is never do there again, and never buy the sun again. Vote with your wallet

This has been an absolute scam. On Saturday, two stores told me they never had any of the footballs in stock in the first place. Today there were magically about 15 of the footballs on display but they won't honour the voucher because it was valid Saturday only! They didn't care when I said the footballs weren't there on Saturday.
The Express used to do this nasty little trick all the time, and sometimes got caught with their pants down:
Opening post
Voucher in the sun which allows you to buy the euro 2016 Adidas ball for a £1. One voucher and pop into your local store.
Saturday sun is 70p
1.70 for a very good ball...
