fpowl Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 It really has been an embarrassment this. I bought my son a kit last two. One when he was born the other for his first birthday in September. I couldn't get him one this year( I suppose I could for Christmas) last year the cost me £55 sizes 3-6 month ( he's only small) I dread to think what kind of pricing policy they have on this one. anyway enough of this. Have we heard from Palmer on this yet. This is exactly the type of thing he's been brought in for. And if you are going to be ballsy enough to go your own route which I applaud you have to deliver or have a strategy in place. For me and yes maybe in hindsight we should have delayed our kit for someone else developing it like by a year to ensure who ever is going to deliver can deliver or that all the contracts are in place to prevent anyone allegedly dinding more money. Seems a bit rushed with the massive egg on their face. And unfortunatly I can only see raised prices or the token offer of a price freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRADDO Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hundreds will go to the shop on Sunday but the popular sizes will probably be sold out within the hour. Followed by more outrage on here. And if we go on to lose the game, take cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottiec Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 about time really and agree with others it has been a bit of a fiasco getting this together. One thing that seems to have been forgotten is that third kit that the design for was released ages ago, am I right to be thinking that we won't be getting that kit now?

fred mciver Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Joe Palmer should be canned for this debacle. Interesting , Atalanta give every kid born in Bergamo a free new club shirt so he doesn't later support one of the nearby Milan giants. A great way to divert young uns from t'Lane.

He had a supplier and yes I know they supposedly doubled the price but he could have done the deal. What he may have lost with the cost of manufacturing surely he would have made back in shirt sales by now.. Mid summer.. nice...ish weather.. people going on holidays, kids off on holidays.. It's getting colder.. people may hold off and wait for Christmas others may not want to pay full price for it and who could blame them. Considering it's the 150th anniversary maybe he should have cut his losses and just got the shirt out. Surly he would have still made a profit on every shirt.

I don't blame DC one bit and there's absolutely no reason to start throwing discounts about because he got fv.cked over, I mean, would you? It would be interesting to know what price was agreed per unit... if it was 10 pounds and was doubled to 20.. then yes I wouldn't be happy and yes I'd probably say do one. If it's something along the lines of 3-4 pounds and doubled to 6-8 pounds then maybe an over reaction. But I guess we will never know what was agreed.

MrTacoSWFC Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I suppose my point is having taken the decision to change supplier I would guess that it will have made an impact on overall shirt sales.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about this "they chose to double the price" story just doesn't seem right to me. Whoever the manufacturer in question is that supposedly did this would be harming themselves commercially. People in the kit business will know who it is and surely no club would risk dealing with them again. IF it's true. Of course it may not be true. Interesting the club are being vague on numbers and haven't announced a price yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelman Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Too late now. Got my lad a Dortmund and PSG kit this year (he's forbidden from having any other English team). Top quality and no doubt cheaper than what the shop will charge for a load of rubbish that's already about 2 to 3 months out of date. My guess is that there will be loads of faults with them (due to being rushed out) and after about 3 or 4 washes they will start to fall to bits. Like an earlier poster has said, they should be boycotted or given a wide berth at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Owl Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 They'll still be ridiculously priced, still won't have stripes on and will more than likely be crap quality. Suffice to say I won't be buying one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lees Tom Cat Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 You can't boycott them. I and others like me that don't buy them need you that do to purchase as many as possible because of ffp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
