I agree. I think it makes good business and great marketing sense to maximise the sales of the away shirts in the run up to Christmas, then release the home shirts prior to the start of the season. If both shirts were released at the same time there would be fewer sales.

Good marketing strategy from the club in my opinion.

this policy has been in operation for a few seasons now and is a good one in my opinion...


look at the number of away shirts on display on Boxing Day... sales vv good... then release a doozer of an home shirt in January and everybody wants one for the first home game....

they do it every year its incredibley frustrated when it does come we will have over ordered on large/xl once again !!!!!

Whey hey!

you say its hard to do TRB but we make the same mistake every year surely we need to plan earlier. What do we pay our staff to do?

From looking along the terraces, it is hard to imagine that we could ever over-order on the xl's.

Better get some of that 40K spent on some grub and you will soon fit into a large!

Its not a mistake its done for a reason. Just because you don't agree with it does not make it wrong.

I think if you look around at the other clubs you will find that we are far from the worst and, I would guess, one of the best.

Just because you didn't get yourself organised quick enough last year to get a shirt doesn't mean that the club are incompetent.

There is always room for improvement, but they do their best with the issues involved.

If people want the home shirt at the time of year when money is floating around for Christmas presents they should IMO release the shirt and get some money coming in.

A couple of my friends have wanted the home shirt in the past and was prepared to buy it when money was there but given up on it and not bothered. That cant be good when there are bills to pay.

Has the new shirt gone on sale yet? and if not any news on the release date?
