Unless I am mistaken (and if I am I must apologise ) has not Rochdale fan been in hospital for the best part of the week having been operated on? I think as a loyal fan whose done well to get out of bed let alone travel over here to support the Club at Harveys shirt launch should be aplauded . As too should anyone who goes that extra mile eg the people who helped with the pitch covers but I don`t see what one has to do with the other .To somehow infer that he is`nt doing his bit by not trailing down to the shop and helping with covering the pitch is a tad unfair.
I too arrived at Harveys at around 1-00pm and found the Club had packed up earlier on in the day and left, I didn`t go down to the shop either nor did I help with the covers as I didn`t know about it (as I suspect neither did Rochdale fan as he would have been traveling over here). I went and had a cup of coffee and a look around the shop and bought something in the sales.
I think what may have hapened is they were shorthanded (as we always are when we`re doing anything) and the priority is to safeguard the match for today but I still think they should have tried to leave one person with a few shirts there when it had been advertised everywhere but then I am not in a position to know the full story.

Speak to the club Linda and then you will know the full story


story.

Has anyone got any better pics of the shirt? I'd like to see the design a bit better, please. Front and back if at all possible.

Irrespective of the full story I do take the stance that it was a fully advertised event that marketed its launch until 2pm. If Harveys was too busy etc then another venue or the club shop should have been chosen, surely to have a couple of players available isn't too much to ask?? As I've said I will take it up with the club as this type of event is where we need to get much sharper if crowds are to increase.

In terms of the shirt it reminds me of the awful black shirt years ago which I think was a Marshalls sponsored one by ellgren??? My personal opinion on the photos is it's pretty terrible shirt, very bland and I find patterns on shirts a bit tacky. Wish we'd gone with tradition and Cherry & White hoops

Why don't we just play in skins and paint the numbers and badge on every game. Some whinging gits on here.

I'm still witing for the club to produce the "beer gut" friendly shirt. I haven't been ale to buy a shirt since 1997. It's about time this was addressed.

So you're not so little after all Richard?

Rotund around the midriff but Djokovic-like everywhere else.

Why James because I have an opinion on the shirt and that I, personally, me don't like it?? I think mate you should watch how you call people! Get a grip and when you know me well enough to call me Git then go for it, until then I strongly urge you to keep it to yourself and dont EVER insinuate or aim names toward me again.

Oh Big Man on the forum James hiding behind the moderator badge, do remember to come and see me next time you're at the Shay. Glad you find insulting somebody funny.

Why is he hiding behind his moderator badge? Dont' get the relevance of your comment about his status on here - he has a right to put stuff on here the same as anyone else.

The season can't start soon enough - need a distraction for this forum

LR my point being ive seen him lock threads and dish out warnings and tell people to watch there conduct on here yet he feels he can throw insults around and call people names as he s a moderator, hence why he hides behind that as he thinks it legitimises it!!

Feel free to complain to admin about me. I notice how you assume I'm meaning you whinging.

I'll put some detailed pics up tomorrow if you're still looking for some.

Sorry to bring it back on topic *runs for cover*

Thank-you very much, I am. *steel helmet optional*

Well I like it.....

Oh TS - you naughty boy











On topic - after seeing it yesterday - I really like it too. Very NZ Warrior style.

Thank-you very much!!

Have to say that I really like it.

I have the shirt and I love it however Chris like everyone is entitled to his own opinion.

I quite like the look of it, Not got either yet but will probably end up with both this year.

I didn't think it was that cracky at first, but it looks brilliant in those pictures...

the shirt is quality! its a slightly bigger fit than the home equivalent.

the collar is very wide, and will be one to get used to. abit drafty in winter - but when we are all basking in the sun at Keighley and Dewsbury - shorts - flip flops - and a pint, it will be perfect atire!

x blades have done very well i think.

Would be OK if we were a Maori team but were not just don't get it, like English people with tribal tattoo's.
