be interesting to know how many away shirts we sold last year as a comparison, allowing for fact that the 8000 figure wont be final one for this year anyway as there waiting for fresh stock. Wouldnt be too surprised if we only sold around 8k total for last year, hence them ordering 8k as initial order this year.

Imagine how many we'd have sold of the green, yellow and purple classic.

Best. Away. Kit. Ever.

Surely that can't be right? 8k seems a hell of a lot, we only around that amount coming to games last year.

Must admit I can't see that being right. Especially since Stuart told me they had to order the shirts in July, before the pledge had been laid let alone hatched and fledged.

Its been my impression that away shirt is more popular this year. Certainly seem to see it in street more often on non match day than home one. Think it may be case that people tend to only buy home shirt when they particularly like it and dont mind sticking with previous years home shirts, especially when they tend to be similar. Away shirt is usually fairly markedly different each year so maybe people feel more inclined to buy it.

I'd still be amazed if we've actually sold 8k of them though. Just doesn't quite ring true to me..

Amen to that.

I know the feeling as I was in last month and ended up spending £120+ on polo and training shirts, hats, scarfs and keyrings, dvds etc.

does seem a bit on high side. I wonder if that figure is total shirts sold (home and away). I'd find that figure a lot more believeable.

One of the paramedics I'm friends with got a shirt for free earlier this week after a mistake on his season card left him looking amously for his seat on Sunday.



Good customer service from the club IMO.

Maybe she said 8000 in total, but I don't think so, I am sure she said 8000 away shirts?



She also said the most they have ever sold before is round about 5000.
