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?

But if they really wanted one then surely they could wait a few weeks, it's not like we're not sure whether there will be one is it.

I think this is just another excuse for people to have a go at the club when actually I think this is one of the things that they do correctly.

Think these would look good with your sponsors on for you

Isn't this is

I dont think its an excuse, my friends never complained to anyone they just spent the Christmas money elsewhere.

Some people do use this as an excuse to batter the club, maybe not your friends but some on here do.

The point I was making is that it's fairly obvious that we will bring out a home shirt and therefore if people really wanted one they could hang on to their Christmas money for a few weeks couldn't they?? Bearing in mind season starts in January can't see them having to wait too long.


Marketing wise this is one of the things we do get right IMO.

For most people the home shirt is the one they want. If the club released that one first people would buy it but maybe then not buy the away one when it was released. Equally a joint release would see people pick one or the other.
This way, those who can't wait buy the away one before/for Christmas and then those are the people that are also likely to then go and buy the home one as well when it is released.

12th december is the planed target date for both, my eldest always as 1 for his birthday (16thdec)

If the club simultaneously lauched home, away, 3rd and charity shirts for the next 5 seasons it wouldn't be enough for some on this board.

This is one area where the club has a transparent and effective strategy and people are still having a go. The deal with the season tickets was a great offer as well. I wouldn't have bought shirts for my kids as a rule but because of the deal with the season tickets bought 3. I know of other reluctant replica shirt buyers who have done the same.

Why don't we save this message board to moan about things that aren't a great success?

It'll never catch on!

Really like those designs, where is stash based?

i think the nearest shop/manufacturer is in Manchester check out
