owlZfan84 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 The club have just 'shared their product' on FB - last season's home shirt. Still £55. Another cracking bit of marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfc1983 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 The commercial side of the club is a complete and utter shambles. Missed revenue opportunities time and time again. The scary thing is it doesn't get any better the mistakes aren't being learnt from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tho I guess we have a new website and maybe a marquee signing will be announced with the new shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxondale Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Asked today in the shop and the lady said they have had absolutely no word on the new kit, and that she imagines it would be July before anything is announced. No surprise really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is you're using them as a benchmark. In the grand scheme of things, how early our new shirts are made available means virtually nothing in the world of football. If it was so important every club would get their shirts on sale at the end of the previous season. They don't, because it's so far down the list of priorities. If the only bragging rights they have over us is that their replica shirts are on sale earlier than ours then I'm happy to let them have it.

You need to have a commercial/Marketing strategy to think ahead like that....

Virtually wore it every day out playing footy and on summer holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There won't be many people who will only buy it if it's available by a certain date, so it's not going to lose much revenue if it's not available until later on. Maybe there will be a handful of fans like that, but not many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
