Quote bren2k="bren2k"That seems sensible, until someone goes in the shop, can't get a Medium and comes blarting on here about what a terrible service they've had, don't the club want my money, corner-shop management etc etc. Plus it negates the 'impulse purchase' that abounds around Xmas time.
Also, it relies on everyone ordering up front at roughly the same time; what happens though, if I order in December but sufficient numbers don't follow suit, so I can't get my shirt until April - then I come blarting on here about the poor service etc etc.
For the sake of simplicity and to catch the Xmas market, I'd sell Shirt vouchers and let people spend them when the current has subsided and we are able to stock the shop again in the normal way. I'd quite like to get a voucher like that on Xmas morning - [umaybe in a card featuring Daddy Cool in his underpants and a Santa hat?[/u'"
Or perhaps a free autograph book for kids with players messages in it, or a signed photograph tailored to the recipient.
