There is scarcely anything in goal post manufacture that someone cannot make a little worse and sell a little more cheaply.
Do not become their lawful prey.

uPVC Goal Posts

Samba Goals or ITSA Goal - see the difference !

Itsa Goal are recognized as the best uPVC goalposts money can buy  ! They provide much more than any  Far East or Samba Goals  as they encompass the best in engineering, innovation and design .  The photographs below show other uPVC goals photographed around the U.K and these show the difference between a staged sales photograph and actual goals in use. Most uPVC football goals other than our own do not  have net support stanchions attached to the goal frame ....they  just push net support tubes into holes.

Mini soccer or 9v9 Samba Goals have crossbars with substantial dips unlike Itsa Goal products.  Do not be fooled by big name endorsements,that may have been bought ,Arsenal Football Club for instance have replaced Samba Goals with ITSA GOAL mini soccer goals. We do not use touched up and staged photographs to make football goals look better we take them out and photograph them just as they are on our own seven and a half acre sports ground.

All uPVC goals supplied by ITSA GOAL have always been to match standard. Net supports are securely locked to the  frame and unlike others they do not become detached when they are moved or a football hits them. Beware head on shots of goalposts that hide net supports and look out for goals with different coloured corners as these are the trade mark signature of low quality Far East goal posts.

ITSA GOAL uPVC  9v9 football goals have very little dip in the crossbars compared to Samba goals. One of the main differences between Samba Goals and Itsa Goal is maintenance costs as some clubs can spend over £200 a year on Spare parts with Samba Goals whereas it is very rare for ITSA Goal customers to ever  require any spare parts at all. That is why ITSA GOAL offer long product guarantees that other uPVC goal post makers just can not match.

We have recently introduced a budget range of goalposts called FOOTIE GOALS These use all the ITSA GOAL mouldings  but although the net support stanchion is locked to the crossbar the rest  of the frame  is a push fit and nets are attached with straps and not arrowhead net fixings. The uPVC  ITSA GOAL in its most basic form without the trimmings is still so much better than a Samba Goal and other Imported uPVC goalposts that it was  decided to offer this budget version  to give buyers who wanted to spend less a decent product that will last. These goals have a standard guarantee but as you can see from customer comments it is rare for customers to ever need  to claim under guarantee or require spare parts.

The photographs show the comparison in the designs of uPVC goals and the engineering quality of ITSA GOAL products. Goalposts that are built to last longer and outperform the rest .  For football goals you can  trust........... look for engineering quality  " Made in Sheffield"

We do not like to use what we consider to be negative advertising however we feel users of goal posts are entitled to be made aware of products that may not include important and relevant information before they buy. These low engineered goal posts have flooded the market and many buyers at Junior football club level are now reluctant to continue using uPVC goal posts and are moving towards metal goal posts because of  the experiences of buying such products.

We can assure you that uPVC ITSA GOAL products are strong,sturdy, safe and easy to use. Our uPVC  one section crossbar versions  are comparable to most metal goalposts.  THAT IS WHY WE OFFER A TWO YEAR GUARANTEE ON OURuPVC JUNIOR CLUB GOALPOSTS ...longer than most aluminum& steel goalposts.
