Gladly. The club offered fans the chance to vote on which they wanted, a FREE centenary shirt which, due to its bespoke nature, would be available near to the Magic Weekend (which is when the team would wear said shirt) or have a FREE away shirt in time for Christmas.

Given that for most Salford fans the free shirt offer is a neccesity rather than a bonus, which do you think they voted for?*

[size* I know, some people have kids and wanted the shirts as Christmas presents, it just still aggrovates me that the club gave the fans an option to vote on what is, essentially, a bonus gift. Also, I would've loved a centenary/retro style shirt.[/size

I THINK THE KOOGA SHIRTS ARE BY FAR THE BEST QUALITY WE HAVE EVER HAD AND DONT MIND WAITING THAT BIT LONGER

But the important word here is bought.
Sale Sharks or United shirts would have cost you money
FFS a freebie gets stuck in transit and people still moan.
If people are so worried about their little dears missing out on a free present then we really are in a bad state.

China...
Global warming, toxic paint on toys, extinction of river dolphins, missiles over Taiwan, Tibet, non- delivery of Rugby League shirts ...
thinking about it, my last Lemon Chicken was a bit dodgy.

I hear Kooga hand delivered them weeks ago but the club didn't fancy the bother of putting them all on hangers and sent them every one back until the new year, when they can be @rsed..!

Heres an idea for next year.
We drop Kooga and the club get the shirts made in the UK by a local firm.
Due to the fact that this will cost 4 times as much everyone will have to buy them instead of getting them free.
They will however be in the shop in time for Christmas.

Arh Christmas the time of goodwill to all men and women, I remember as a lad being the eldest I could choose which tangerine I wanted first and also had two walnuts, favouritism, but i also used to get a torch but only one set of battries so I had to be careful. I remember one year me mum went daft and bought me a city kit and my brother a united kit, she wanted us to be different, after dressing us teh same all year. I was so distraught I threw my prized tangerine at her. Happy days christmas


PS my brother now supports Everton

I thought so!!! knew people would react like this!!! I'm not saying the club get everything right but for some of you they seem to get the blame no matter what. My original point is that I think most of us would agree that a club as big as Wigan would be much better organised in the retail dept but even they had trouble with Kooga last year.

Maybe just maybe we could forgive this one!! It would appear not however, and I think that Jacob Marley and his 3 mates have a massive job on their hands to turn some of our fans around. It's being so miserable keeps you happy isn't it

so definitely no replica shirts in till after Christmas including the free away top? just so i can tell the old man he will not be getting it for his Christmas present

Quite simply, there should have been a clause in the contract stipulating a delivered-by time, and a significant cost for not hitting the deadline. The recouped money if the deadline was missed could be used to recompense anyone who ordered them early. Of course such a clause itself would have cost money..

If you can get to the club shop before midday tomorrow they'll give you a nice shiny certificate that you could give him on Xmas day, saying that you've ordered him a shirt and that it's on its way.

Otherwise you'll just have to tell him that he's not been a good boy this year so Santa hasn't brought him anything?!

big deal
