Again, my I suggest someone ask at next week's Members Forum? Can't dodge the question there.

Just had reply. Crossed wires.

The club had to place the initial order in JULY. Pre-pledge. had to base on LAST year uptake cos at that stage nothing else to base on, no pledge in mind and internal changes were anyway only just in progress. They had to commit to quantity tehn even though design not agreed.

I gather it was all pretty well as I suggested, otehr than the deadline was even earlier than I thought.

Why no ladies' shirts this year? Last year they sold a couple of DOZEN. Ordered 200 and were left with nearly all to job off at end of season for £10.

Think we can put this one to bed now?

In haste cos got meeting.

Was in the shop today - have full range of home shirts but no "normal" sizes of the away shirt. They are due in on 15th April. As outlined above, they ordered more stock before Christmas, they are waiting on Kooga.
They have sold 8000 away shirts though! Impressive.

I actually think it is quite good business, I ended up buying some hoodies and stuff, so will still be going back for shirts when they have them.

So in fact my £15 Crusaders ticket ended up costing me well over £100!
Knew I should have left the kids at home...

Oh and more t-shirts and other bits in next week, including a new purple ladies hoodie!

8000 away kits sold

Well done Bulls fans.

Imagine how many we'd have sold of the green, yellow and purple classic.

Surely that can't be right? 8k seems a hell of a lot, we only around that amount coming to games last year.

Must admit I can't see that being right. Especially since Stuart told me they had to order the shirts in July, before the pledge had been laid let alone hatched and fledged.

Its been my impression that away shirt is more popular this year. Certainly seem to see it in street more often on non match day than home one. Think it may be case that people tend to only buy home shirt when they particularly like it and dont mind sticking with previous years home shirts, especially when they tend to be similar. Away shirt is usually fairly markedly different each year so maybe people feel more inclined to buy it.

I'd still be amazed if we've actually sold 8k of them though. Just doesn't quite ring true to me..

Amen to that.

does seem a bit on high side. I wonder if that figure is total shirts sold (home and away). I'd find that figure a lot more believeable.
