Have you only just realised just football shirts are rubbish ?BIGRON wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2020 11:05 am Just recieved a surprise parcel containing the new home shirt , unbeknowing to me it was ordered in May and has just arrived , although it's a lovely shirt that I will be proud to wear I thought that at 48 quid they could have put a proper badge on it and not what looks like an iron on one that will quickly fall apart
Football shirts are not supposed to be hard wearing; they are called rugby shirts. Football shirts are supposed to be "breathable" and lightweight.PutneyO wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2020 4:26 pmHave you only just realised just football shirts are rubbish ?BIGRON wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2020 11:05 am Just recieved a surprise parcel containing the new home shirt , unbeknowing to me it was ordered in May and has just arrived , although it's a lovely shirt that I will be proud to wear I thought that at 48 quid they could have put a proper badge on it and not what looks like an iron on one that will quickly fall apart
Was that the game Lee Thorpe scored and they got 2 pretty close together at the end? I didn't leave a shirt but I didn't pick up my Pepsi lid. That'll f*cking show them.Stamford O wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2020 4:32 pm When I lived in Southport in the 90s I bought the bamam shirt with the bar codes on the sleeves for 3 quid.seen one on eBay for 179 quid.pity I left mine under the seat at the Darlington George Reynolds arena when I left in disgust at their late winner

Indeed, why expect anything better than last year? They are NOT Polo shirts, rather a way to support not only our club but also Harry Kane's nominated charities.
By the time the VAT man has taken his cut £4.00 and the club has given £5.00 to charity the actual money left for the club is £39.00. deduct from that all associated costs from manufacturing, handling, staffing etc do you still think it wrong that people willingly purchase memorabilia to show their support for both our club and a good charity? It's really rather sad that there is so little positivity on this thread. I got my shirts today and will wear one of them on Saturday to the pitch side lunch. But I also imagine that Moaners. Inc will feel that that is also a rip off and the drinks over priced...sometimes you just can't win.
Up the O's.
You are more than happy to pay to watch a substandard team on the pitch so no real surprise you’re happy to pay for a substandard shirt off the pitch.Winchesterfan wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2020 6:24 pmah, the moaners are out again!Disoriented wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2020 11:48 am Oh no, not again.

As an aside, I wonder how many people who defend this actually buy shirts, either for themselves or their kids.Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 8:25 amYou are more than happy to pay to watch a substandard team on the pitch so no real surprise you’re happy to pay for a substandard shirt off the pitch.Winchesterfan wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2020 6:24 pmah, the moaners are out again!Disoriented wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2020 11:48 am Oh no, not again.

All due respect its a Football shirt not a Fashion itemApple Wumble wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 9:33 am But regardless. Shouldn’t expect some quality when they blindly spend that sort of money? Shouldn’t the club be aiming for the highest standards to reward fans, especially at this time? Shouldn’t our job as fans be to hold our club to account if we feel they are taking the p*ss out of the fan base a little bit?
