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.

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.
