The Batman Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Bit weird that we've not managed to do a deal with a supplier yet! It's not like the Sondico deal running out is a surprise. Some things never change! Not against the idea in general but this year's kits (with heavy DC interference) are shocking IMO. The white one is OK, mainly as it's the only one that is pale blue and matches the weird pale blue badge. Just think they'll be awful. Please no.

Buxtongent Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I remember well a time when I had moved to Clowne in Derbyshire, in the 70's-80's, when here were three medium sized factories making clothing/underwear for Marks & Spencer at a time when Marks had a world-wide reputation for their products. All these factories, one in Bolsover, one in Clowne and one in Worksop had the expertise and, though small on a global scale, produced some excellent products. This was the way Marks were then operated, before the inrush of cheaply produced and mass produced products came in from overseas. What is required for a football club is the provision, possibly from a small outlet like this, of a relatively small, in global terms, line of sports wear. Although these factories have long gone, some of the skill must still be around, and could be quickly passed on to the youth of today. It could be a way of bringing back work to a still relatively poorly provided area, work-wise, but still with abundant skills. The product would obviously be more expensive than cheap imported wear, but with our own brand of design. One for Mr. Chansiri's advisors to investigate?

coopswfc76 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 A great way to help with FFP as sure majority of cost could be offset elsewhere while all profit from club shop in to the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This country is far too dependent on others for the basics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post BUT if you watched the news this morning this very sector was bemoaning the complete of skilled workforce. One comment was I have the orders to rake on an extra hundred staff...I just can't find them. So it may not be as simple as it may at first appear. Bug I think it's a great idea and just the sort of innovative ideas we should be exploring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point( I think) to take on board is that our country needs to be more self sufficient and less reliant on imports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
