I agree. Losing out on revenue is never going to help them. As long as people continue to buy from the shop so the club get their cut though, instead of just trying to save money and cutting the club out completely, that'll help.





Oh. Ok nevermind.

Being a supporter, I buy from the club as I know they get the profits from it..I'd probably get my gas and electric from the club too if they ever went down that route.

If the club sold team issue kit instead of poor replicas...I probably would!

What? Likke every other club you mean?

It is hardly exclusive to Bradford is it?

Anyway - got my shirt today - very pleased as it happens, although ISC have strange ideas about large RL fans. Need to shift some timber to let this do me justice.

You said earlier you buy from manufacturer because it's cheaper.

Make your mind up man!

Anyway, a club offer an authentic shirt at 20 quid extra? So what? Does that mean that they do not also offer replica shirts that are not the real mccoy? It is all about choice. It is fairly well known that we are a bit behind the other clubs in terms of merchandise this season and who is to say that we will not do similar for next season? Personally I would not swap a Leeds shirt, authentic or not for the steam of my p!$$ but if you want to fork out nearly 70 quid to show your support then fill yer boots. Miserable git.

If i was planning on going out and playing rugby in it then id pay that,

but the mere fact i buy a replica shirt to only show my teams colours on game days which does the job for what i need it for,

If you dont like the cheaper replica shirt then dont buy one simples

Im sure 99% of people on this forum buy it for the same simple reason i do and thats to support my club and don their colours - why wouldpeoplei need an authentic playing shirt for that ??

I'd buy a better quality, authentic shirt if it was available from the club.

Yeah your in that 1% lol

Wonder how many Leeds sold before they ran out of stock?

Replicas and Authentic are cheaper if you buy from manufacturer. I was referring to Leeds price of £67 Authentic or £46 replica. Sorry, thought that was quite obvious.

Your right, its about choice, and the only choice the bulls offer is replica. So i have no choice.

You imply i want to buy a Leeds shirt? Far from it...I want the OPTION to buy a bulls authentic shirt from the bulls shop - goes back to my point, lost revenue and how many others want to buy things that they cant, maybe a tracksuit for example...

Chin up chelper. You might get it shortly.

Yeah the 1% that can pull off looking half decent in an authentic shirt, not a XXXL replica. Cheer up and lay off the beer, you'll get there one day.

I am sure that a few people would do too BB.

Maybe such a thing is in the pipeline for next years kit, now that we will be in a position to order at to order at the right time again.

Welcome to two weeks ago.

And you say [iI[/i might get it shortly.

Dear me.

Sorry pal, my life doesnt revolve around a forum. I have no interest in keeping up with every single thing on here.

Thought I had a valid point about the club losing revenue by not offering choice to the punters.

Any news on polo shirts and a full leisure range? I know we are unique in circumstances after last year, but the other ISC clubs have a full range. E.G. Hull FC have a better webstore than many champions league football clubs.

Not knocking the club or Omar on any level, but people are wanting to buy merch. We want to spend our money at the club so it goes into the club coffers! Any ideas??

For those on Twitter, they'll find the chap from the store at twitter.com/chrisgawthrop62

The chap, who loads of people (Read: Leeds club and fans) overreacted to on Twitter last week over him tweeting a picture of someone with a "We 8 Rhinos" print on the shirt, is apparently no longer employed by the club.


(Source: Twitter)

I read on twitter a retraction and apology from him regarding something he had posted but I didn't see what was put up. I can't honestly believe the guy has got into bother for the above, the way he apologised I assumed it must have been something offensive.

I suspect there is more to it but its not really any of our business I suppose. He did seem a nice chap though and probably the friendliest welcome I've had in the club shop for some time.

I think it was the day the player's authentic shirts came in. He put up a photo to show what the lettering looked like on printed versions of them. Unfortunately he chose someone who had "We 8 Rhinos" (or something like that anyway) printed on theirs as the example. It was an error in judgement, but certainly nothing as bad as a lot of people made out. The Leeds club then tweeted something along the lines of it being poor form, and other clubs wouldn't do it, perhaps the shirt printing policy needs looking into. (again, can't remember the exact wording). He then realised it was a mistake to put it up, deleted it, apologised and did the usual "it wasn't the view of the club, not even my view, didn't think about it properly, sorry" kind of thing. Acknowledged the error and apologised, which is all it needed. A few Rhino fans on Twitter went into some kind of meltdown like his tweet was on a par with global war crimes. The usual massive overreaction. (Thankfully other more sensible Leeds tweeters, along with other clubs' fans, ridiculed them for going so crazy about it).

He's tweeted today saying he's no longer in the job. From his tweets, it appears that incident is the reason that's been given for him being let go, even though he appears to think it's an excuse and there were other motives. That last paragraph of mine is just an impression picked up on myself by his tweets though, and nothing he's actually said outright (so just my interpretation of what he's said).

The way of the world now I suppose, always somebody ready to be offended by something and nothing.

This is absolutely ridiculous if true

And none of those tweets made it onto @RLMeltdown? Funny that.
