To anybody that has been in the shop lately, what new products are there?

To be honest there isn't a great deal in there other than a small selection of t shirts and the actual replica shirts. I assume we might see some coats/hoodies later in the season.

Laid ISC 3XL on top of Kooga XL; Kooga about 2 ins longer, 1 in wider, sleeves 2 ins longer. So I have a new shirt allegedly 2 sizes bigger but its actually smaller. You MUST try them on before buying.
As regards shop and Website, please lets remember that we almost lost the Club, that we were obviously late in setting up contracts for website and kit replica. Our credit was ZERO. We have a team playing each week ,which is surely the first priority. I cannot imagine that our new owners are deliberately holding back other improvements. We have less to spend than other Clubs and I trust them to optimise our resources as they think best.

No one 'up there' connected with the shop 'kept their jobs'. Chris, who is running the shop is doing an excellent job.

For what it's worth I found the new home shirt, size L to be a bit on the tight side and, in general, large [i:1eetzn54always[/i is just not going to give a fair comparison.

The last decent quality shirt I bought was the Jamie Langley testimonial shirt. The design wasn't everyone's cup of tea but it was well made and had some nice embroidery on it. I quite like the heavier shirt with embroidered badges but perhaps I'm in the minority because the newer shirts are mainly printed.

The last couple of Kooga shirts were really poor quality IMO but this seasons are a step back in the right direction.

I got a home shirt bought as a present with my name on the back in XL the size i usually wear (cant take back). Gonna have to by an XXXL in the away kit doing nothing for my self esteem.

Was it a present from the missus?

Just been up to get away shirts. The sizes seem ok to be honest. Got a large. I could have got a medium and in previous years I have had either a large or medium.
And by the way, the man in the shop was superb. Friendly, cheerful and super service.

Agree with most of that, though I certainly wouldn't say the current one was better made than last years, very similar imo.

People do conflate the design side with the build and cloth quality when they are really two separate issues. I don't have any issues with design, in general. Provided it's not so totally outlandish that it can't be worn in the pub, then I'm pretty easy to please with rugby shirts.

I'm not totally bothered about the cheaper made, printed ones, to be honest - as long as they last the season out without falling to bits then it's ok, to be honest. A few of the real top quality early Kooga stuff will never wear out, but they pretty much only really get worn for one season anyway these days, so the club may just as well make a bit more on them -that's the whole point of them anyway.

Send the forum police around immediately!

I dont make transactions direct with the club shop. I buy direct from the manufacturers. Its cheaper and you get a better quality product.
