Errea now to make new kit and merchandise. What happened there then?

I am sure the guy who ran the old kit manufacturer will be along shortly with some comments, hidden behind his alias.

You will be happy with the quality. When Commercial Manager at HTAFC, we brought them in as the supplier. Word of warning though; as an Italian manufacturer, their sizes were small so dont be surprised if you end up having to buy one or two sizes bigger than what you normally would.

Quality goods, delivered in time , all revenue going to the club ,free playing kit thrown in? It must be Christmas coming.

I might even buy my season Tickets again now this has been done!

Good luck with that Guys I've had a replica and numerous hoodies /polos /tshirts rom my hometown club for the past 30 years apart from the last two when these Clowns were supplying . Despite the Ereea name its tended to be be poor quality vastly expensive gear (Plain Black hoodie with a single badge and no pockets -forty quid ??). Don't know about the one or two sizes bigger in my experience its tended to be 3 or 4 that was needed for some things (not brilliant when most was ordered online ;-(( )

As for their 'athletic fit' and 'Italian Styling 'if your anything of the average sized female with curves n bumps or your typical RL Fan who is partial to a pie n a pint , my advice would be to dig out one of your old seasons shirts and go retro till your club comes to its senses ...

Im not sure he posts on here but it would be nice for his side of the story to be posted on here as it seems we only hear the side of the group who originally tried to oust him. Things seem to be pretty bright for the club at the moment and I guess the new boards aim is to get the club to be self sufficient(probably explains the lack of signings) which is even more important if the person they used to fall back on in times of need is no longer there.

My understanding is Steeley is hopefully staying on in some background capacity so no need to worry on that front GFB.

Just wonder if they are going to rename the shop ie a bit like the new shirts let the supporters pick a name.

Here goes for starters....... " R kit" , "fax kit" or "Halicats" for the kids. But I am sure someone can come up with better. ..........I suppose you could get a sponsor to name it and they can call it whatever they want then for x £££! Actually the sponsorship isn't a bad idea .....every little helps!

The quality of the last few years has been shocking. The quality and stitching of the replica shirts was woeful. Sizes can be changed but hopefully the quality will be much better now. Prices will stay about the same I presume which is fine as long as there is some value for money.

Ah sorry for the mix up I were talking about Ian Croad. We are lucky in that sense that we have had and have a number of individuals who dig deep when it has come to supporting the club, without them the club would not be where it is today. Unfortunately to push on to the next level of even challenging the top 2 its going to mean a big increase in crowds or an individual who can afford to drop a couple of million in ala Beaumont.

Thanks for your glowing reference Rach but you should perhaps be addressing your issues with the club and not slating one of the most successful global brands around.

First of all sizes go up to 9XL and as errea have been able to look after fans of clubs from Wigan, London Broncos, Workington, Oldham, Hunslet, Dewsbury and Swinton I think 9XL must be big enough.

Secondly if your Chairman had not stopped paying his bills after one month of a three year deal causing the kit supplier buysportskitPRO to have to go to the RFL and have the clubs invoiced paid directly from central funding perhaps there would have been more choice.It was Gary Fawcett who didnt pay the bills, it was Gary Fawcett who designed the awful kits and it was Gary Fawcett who decided to switch to Kappa because he thought he could make more money using a cheaper brand.

'Clowns' is such a fun term but on this occasion, and given the number of Soccer and Rugby League clubs being supplied by errea, I would imagine this 'issue' lies more with you and Keighley Cougars than errea or buysportskitPRO

The new club president.
