Clearly all what matters here is some are #intheknow. It doesnt matter jack that the club may miss out on bumper Xmas sales, and continue the tradition of gift wrapping till rolls

We should be aiming to do 20k shirts this year, that would = £1mill alone

Maybe the club have timed it for a particular reason - maybe to tie in with a large 150 year anniversary 'kick off'?

If it comes out at the start of November, then people will have 2 wages (assuming people get paid before XMAS) to stump up the cash

they could still have announced their intentions.

and most people will only get their November pay in time to shop for Christmas.

A point lost on some.

Vast numbers of the folk who live in the City dont have tons of cash to splash or the ability to save up. Recent reports have confirmed this (before anyone jumps up and down)

Its simple, kits signed off in Feb, Passes launched spet. in the pass bumph it should simply state, "kit launched date X" "available to buy date Y"

Why the hold ups?

We need maximum exposure to flog as many as possible, They need to be in the shop asap.

20k is a realistic target and we should be going all out to do it.

indeed, hopefully we'll hear (and see) something after the GF this weekend.

20k is a realistic target based on what figures?

The 2014 home kit was unveiled on 17th October last year and went on sale the following day with the alternative kit following on 8th November.

We had sold 3,500 replica shirts by 2nd December.

It being an anniversary year, almost everyone will buy twice the number of shirts that they bought last year?

Definitely, I'm going to buy 4 in case I lose 3

I bought none last year, chances are I'll probably by twice that next year.

We average about 10k. Do you seriously expect everyone including non passholders to buy 2 replica shirts each? Jesus wept. Unless you're trying to fabricate a bad news story should we "only" shift 19,000.

Can't recall were I heard this and I could be way off but thought we were the 2nd or 3rd biggest on shirts sale of all the super league clubs . I personally know of at least 15 people who get shirts but rarely go to games for different reasons , Ive gotten my nephew a shirt every year since he was born 7 years .

On the flip side both my uncle and my cousin who I attend games with never buy the shirts but buy the polo shirts or hoodys instead

Its called aiming high, having ambition. Its out 150th year FFS, we should be targetting all RL fans the world over to buy shirts.

I fully expect us to have a home kit away kit, a magic shirt, and a 150 shirt (or some other one off kit for the game against the Kiwis (should we be bold enough to ask for one))

Why should our shirt sales be restricted to match attendees only?

We have crowds of 10.5k we sell <10k shirts

Bratfut had crowds of 14k and sold 20k shirts pa (please dont thread drift yapping on about the demise of the Bulls and posts like "well that helped them didnt it?" certainly wont add to the debate)
