will this situation never change, alright we need sponsors on the shirt, but we should hopefully get these in place by August, next the design finished for September, finally the manufacture completed for end of November in the shop before Christmas. I doubt we would have this problem if we were still a winter sport, but surely we must look at our supplier and their ability to deliver, its alright blaming the adverse weather conditions, but aiming to deliver in the week of Christmas was cutting it a bit short from the beginning.

i'm just gutted i don't qualify for an ignito

Bigpev, your logic is too simple it would never catch on!

Might be wrong but I always assumed the club waited until season ticket numbers were in before ordering shirts, so that they had the right number of each size to give away as part of the offer without having tons left over?

I know that doesn't necessarily change your oringinal point, but suspect it would mean the early bird offer would have to have an earlier deadline ..... which would obviously lead to lots of moaning on here?!
