No pressure on the catering team but it looks like we're looking at this cake to salvage the anniversary year......Jesus wept. It will doubtless have a soggy bottom regardless.

With the logistics of the manufacturing, obtaining materials getting it to factories this takes months to set up. As well as that shipping from Asia typically takes 6 weeks unless you go for the much more expensive version of flying it over. Most fashion companies at the minute are manufacturing spring - summer 2018 at the moment. It's generally a 6 month process from the design being approved. Then you have to transport it and store ready for retail. Will hopefully be a nice Christmas present! I have a good mate who has been working for rugby kit manufacturers for ages. 6-8 weeks for a set of kit, and replica items for a couple of hundred. Largely made in China, which is currently being battered by storms. He reckons that quantity plus shipping is at least 12 weeks, assuming it can be air freighted, which isn't cheap. It's such a balls up. How can we be so inept on this revenue stream, whilst bleating about fair play and coming up with hair brained ideas like the £1500 plaque.

Owlsman82 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Yeah it's beyond belief, and these times are for established companies without the teething problems associated with any new start up...could be a long wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Flange Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Been following the mighty Owls since 1977 but can honestly say I have never been more uneasy about what is happening at our club regarding the simplest things like the kit, catering and PR. Is it any wonder then fans start to stress about the more important things like the way we are playing, recruitment and the manager and wonder if that is right. Yes I know we have been through some pretty bad times but with the chairman we have now you kind of expect things to be right but they are very obviously far from it. Come on Chansiri get a grip, losing those stripes has brought us no end of luck - not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets face it, on a lot smaller budget, they're brilliant at the commercial side over at S2. So you can't blame location, money or anything else other than ourselves. Truly unbelievable that we've messed up our 150th year so wildly. Its not that unbelievable - I don't think the club cares and this is showing through in the lack of events / ideas / kits / celebrations etc. lets face it the chairman probably didn't know who Sheffield Wednesday were 3 years ago - the sense of history isn't there for those who could have done something about it. the club haven't done a single thing with the supporters in mind for the event.

Guest Copthorneowl Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Many suggesting the chairman would have the shirt off your back...........look on the bright side .......at least it won't be a new replica one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what happens when you run a large company as a dictatorship. You don't trust people to make decisions. People need to stop blaming people at the club, in the commercial department, Joe Palmer. Every decision at the club, EVERY DECISION, is made by the Chairman. Every decision. That's why the training ground isn't finished, that's why we've sold a handful of executive boxes, that's why we've launched a scheme to lend him some money, that's why we have no shirt sponsor, that's why only a handful of local companies now sponsor us, that's why we've sold less than half the available tickets for Monday's celebration, that's why we're the most expensive club in the league to watch, that's why other clubs fans are boycotting us, that's why some loyal fans can no longer attend, that's why we are playing in Ipswich kits and that's why we look like we may be on the verge of an embargo under FFP. But hey. You guys carry on clapping. You get what you deserve. You keep drunk posting on here, making the world of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Toni Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 If the shirt potentially comes in Sep or even Oct then the price has to reduce because the shelf life is shorter for the season, surely?! It won't be cheaper but that's what should happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan was to give him the kit on the morning of his birthday and him wear it for the game when he gets his final present, a mascot appearance How much is it these days to pay club for your child to be mascot? I was quoted around £475 around 2 years ago , didn't pay it rip off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember last season kids shirts were dearer than adults for 1 day minus vat , you can't make it up , they couldn't run a corner shop this lot , not even a 7 year old schoolboy would have made that error £55 adult £49 kids I refused to pay it that day and told them to there faces that's a joke considering vat is 20% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
