exactly the right attitude. If anyone were that desperate to have the new shirt they'd have bought it earlier than now. And its not like club wont be re-stocking. Better to have them in demand, which will cause people to buy earlier next year, rather than have to sell them off a massive overstock at end of year at a loss. By the sounds of it, it isnt as if they have underordered deliberately anyway, misjudged the proportions they needed in the different sizes. Its not like you tick a box when ordering season ticket telling what size shirt you might buy, if you happen to like the design of course

So all their doing is paying a middleman a little extra, clubs already had their cut on original sale. Plus doubt auction site accepts the fiver off on their teamcard somehow
Aye, but if they bought one from the club, it would be an extra one sold and the tit trying to make a quick buck on ebay would still be stuck with the one they'd bought.

True. What i meant was the ones whining and thinking they were depriving club of any income at all by buying on auction sites werent really. obviously it would be better if they bought from club direct.
They really are deluded if they think its sound business sense to order enough in every conceivable size so any one who could possibly want one could get one and then any overstock could just be dumped at a loss. If we worked like that our finances would be worse than wakeys

| didnt the bulls stop anyone else selling the shirts a few years ago. if this is the case the only way the other people selling them could get them is by buying them from the bulls. does anyone know if this is still the case?

Precisely my point. We'll see what Mr. "you can't disagree with my views" comes back with. No doubt it'll be another "I would order just enough" or "I would order a little more than pre-orders" or something equally ambiguous.
Some people seem to be under the delusion that it's easy to order just the right amount of every size. In fact, it's a lottery, especially when they usually have to place the initial order before the shirts are even unveiled, so haven't even had time to gauge public opinion.
As has been very rightly said, if people wanted them badly enough, they could have pre-ordered or bought one as soon as they were out, when there were plenty in stock. If you didn't get one then, you've only yourself to blame IMO. And the right attitude to take in that situation is to accept that and wait for the club to get new ones in a few weeks later. Fair enough though, if they're going to be 3 months before they're in, I can understand buying elsewhere.

Asda Living were selling the shirts last year. Although for volumes they would shift I'd imagine they just bought them through bulls rather than ordered direct from kooga. I'd imagine we let them have them at little more than cost, purely to get the advertising exposure in the store.

how long for 5 or 6 years?. certainly seems your age level if your gonna throw a tantrum over shop selling out of shirts.
Quote: northern robbo "Crap !!!! both of em ! Failed again, Is it impossible for the club/Kooga to provide us with a shirt that can be worn on any other occasion other than game day ,,,,, devvoed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awful !'"
and seeing how this was your comment when they were released cant see why you would want one anyway so can only assume your whining for the sake of it
Oh well CYA

or you can go a well know auction site and pay between £42 and £49 plus shipping and stick one up to club but each to their own I guess

| Other thing to consider before having a pop at club for running out of some shirt sizes is there might have been a bit of an unusual buying pattern this year. Usually shirts are released before xmas along with squad numbers and they sell a lot initially and probably have to re-order in first few weeks with this 2nd batch usually arriving about now for another rush as people who havent bought yet get one in time for new season.
This year the initial demand was probably a fair bit lower than usual due to people waiting for squad numbers to be announced. Hence they only got to level they usually re-order at in last few weeks, with the situation then being made worse by a surge in sales when they did let the numbers out. hence the 2nd batch being ordered a lot later than usual causing the lack of stock now.
