This is not a dig at Mal who does a good job voluntary as its not him running things this year but X Blades, is anybody else disappointed at the lack of stuff in the shop and online this season so far?
Yes it is early days yet but the new away shirt is not even available online yet, missed opportunity after it was launched on Friday night, strike while the iron is hot as they say.
There is more that people will buy than just replica shirts, where are the 'bits and bob's now? fans will spend a tenner here and there if there is something to buy such as Fax labelled wallets, credit card holders, pens, key rings, badges, T shirts, towels, etc...

Come on X Blades you need to do better.

Until clubs start to work together to maximize revenue streams , you will get poor service , simple as

I would buy all sorts of stuff.
I would like to see a plain white polo shirt with the badge on.

I want a fax mug to use in the office which is full of hudds / batley / wigan fans.

Doesn't help that xblades have just nearly gone bust, had to be bailed out by two new creditors.

Sounds like the usual kit sponser saga again!

The UK arm of xblades? or the whole company?

Once again

Maybe, but surely Widnes Vs Leigh's O'Neils outlets say a lot about what one club can do another couldn't with similar opportunities?

Although some would point to the vast differences in rental charges as to why is a success and the other is shut. Good website though is O'Neills (even though we have our own online store besides as well).

Widnes make peanuts compared to what they could make

Having spoken to him don't think Malcolm is over impressed by xblades.Think perhaps Mr Moore has bitten off more than he can chew with ourselves and Batley plus the individual players they provide things for.Have been very disappointed with quality of things,bought training top and the stitching hadn't been finished off properly,and am not keen on how similar our shirts are to the Batley ones.Strikes me xblades were using unused material from the pink Batley choo choo shirts for our final shirts and the design of the away and training tops are very similar just differences in colour,perhaps explaining why it took so long for our away shirt design to be approved.

The UK franchise that Mr Moore owns

The deal Fax got from x blades if rumours are to be believed is poor when considering we are the reigning champions which in theory would give us and x blades more exposure. I bought the home shirt and i think it is very low quality but i did it to put some money in the coffers of the club but all i did really was give it to x blades. Malcolm Powell could do a far better job on his own if they let him have free reign IMO.

Not saying this to have a go, but have a look at the fev store onlinerlhttp://feathers.rlstore.co.uk/rl Some of the stuff this year with macron is a different class to before and shows what can be achieved.
