I've heard that we are keeping this years kit for next year. I personally think this is a poo idea! My 2 shirts, as good as they have been this year, would not last another season. And I refuse to buy 2 shirts that I've already bought 12 months ago. I think the club are seriously making a wrong decision if true. Any one else?

Depends if they have to change the main sponsor

That would make loads of sense no money from shirt sales, of course they will change the shirt.

They need somewhere to sell them from, preferably more central than the sports shop on Leigh Road

This is what I have been told from a reliable source. I sincerely hope it isn't the case. As I said, if this is the case, the club will be losing my money this season. And I buy both shirts and toddler kit every year. Apparently a deal was almost struck for a new make, new style kit, to be sold from a town centre shop. But this has fell through due to this silly idea of keeping last years.

Would have to change if main sponsor changes which is highly possible. If it does not then possible that only one kit will be changed.

Your reliable source is very unreliable

Does anyone know if that sports shop in Leigh Rd is still trading? I have driven past on the last few Saturday afternoons (2pm ish) with an intention to pay it a visit, only to find it all shuttered up.

we are defo changing shirts this season, was talking to allan rowley at the weekend and he confirmed we wont be using o neils and are in discussion with 2 or 3 other suppliers.

O'Neills used a get out clause in the contract due to us being relegated

Why? their other club is Oldham and they play 'down here' Miners and East, St Pats 3 of their other 'customers' play NCL, I heard we binned them, sorry 'mutual agreement'
I think plans were to only change one design this year but those appear to have changed now.

Ive heard the kit supplier is going to be Samurai.
