monday is better than january

Like it

typical bloody salford, was hoping to go and collect my commemorative shirt today as going away sunday n been told its now not turning up till tuesday or wednesday, things need to improve on the commercial side if were ever going to go anywhere !!!!!

lucky we are not in Scotland or Humderside nobody is delivering anything, I am awaiting a top from another company which I ordered in November and they hope they will have it to me by next week, so it is not only Salford that is having problems.

DELIVERIES ARE BEYOND THE COMMERCIAL DEPT. CONTROL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They have done their job, designing & promoting the shirt & getting the orders, not their fault if the country has ground to a near holt due to the weather
give them some credit please.

I would have thought "Victor Meldrew "printed on the back was more appropriate for you Tez.

ha ha

im just passionate about the club and want them to do alot better but it annoys me when i see how its being run and when you give them some ideas and they say what they do.

They only think small because they have a limited budget , but they do read & listen ,+ I'm sure we'll have a great merchantising area in the new west stand in 2012.

Until then maybe we should contribute any idea's at the next forever reds meeting/ forum and forever reds can either work with the club shop or run with the ideas themselves.

I was planning to pop down to pick up mine tomorrow but I'll wait ( it's the 1st replica top since 1996 I've really liked ) , and I'm sure they'll do everything in their power to ensure shirts bought as Xmas pressies are avialable.

Mail order companies cannot deliver before Xmas as the weather and Xmas rush have disrupted deliveries, heating oil deliveries may not arrive, and people have spent nights in cars as the motorways were shut as well as airports have been closed.

OK tezthered, I'm now blaming Salford for all this.

Let's put it simply.... all over the country (you know that place called Britain), deliveries of all goods (those lorries and vans you spot) are delayed (like, late).

Got it. It's a national problem. Amazon are already apologising to thousands of customers.

As for your other 110 suggestion, the small staff will be pushed to deliver the shirts, tickets and similar over the next month with out extra work. Extra staff could be taken on BUT are YOU willing to pay those wages?

so because its too much hard work then so we dont want to do it ??? sums up some of the people working there at present then, if its going to make money for the club they could find some way of getting round the problem eg temp staff, offering free tickets for helping out etc etc

i know the time it would take to print names and numbers on shirts roughly would take 2 min tops, and yes i do know about these things because a company i used to work for did printing on pretty much anything you wanted n its not that hard !!!

its all down to organization and thats what were seriously lacking at present.

tezthered, are you sure you're not "John from Salford"?

My user name is scarily similar to tezthered but we are not the same person, I can assure you!

To blame a company for being let down on delivery is ridiculous. I have had the same issue with the company I work for this week. We've got a seasonal item for sale that's gone really well so have ordered more - as you do. I placed this order on the the 3rd December & it's still not arrived despite being told it would be here for Monday. I have customers waiting for this product, but due to lack of supply I cannot meet demand. Now, is this my fault? I would say no. I'm on to the supplier giving them a roasting daily and updating my customers on progress. What I would say is that in a situation like this communication is critical. Let your customers know what's happening. The club are in a very different situation to me, my customers may buy an alternative product from somewhere else, it's very unlikely that a Salford fan will go and by a Wigan, Saints or Warrington shirt instead. However, the same prinicpals should apply.

A way of getting your away sales up would be to have designed a yellow and green away strip.

The flight from china with the shirts on has been delayed by a couple of days . its down to that white stuff falling from the sky over there . and its not pigeon poo.
