The players and staff walk around in decent freebies whilst the club take the long suffering fans for a ride.
Its quality not quantity and employ someone who knows what they are doing not an old has been mate or your son FFS.
Sort it out Casson.
Completely agree, surely playerlayer could provide the club with the polos they make for the players.
When I went to see Austin he said to me that they realised they had "missed a trick" with not ordering in polos and that they had sorted that and ordered polos specifically for the club shop from PL. They either hadn't done this or PL failed to supply.
They've literally googled " CUSTOM POLO SHIRTS" and gone with the first option. These cost about £6 to buy and for some unknown reason there is a club crest on them which is the size of Hoad Monument.
The fans are left with polos shirts which are used by companies who can't strike a deal with major quality providers and just get the cheapest options , whilst the club officials walk around all kitted out in free gear.
Its a shame because fans probably would pay £30-£40 for a decent polo shirt, a lot of fans I speak to prefer the polos to the replicas each year. If the club knew what it was doing then they would know this.
At the end of it all the fans miss out by not being able to spend money in the shop on the things they desire and the club misses out on money they would usually spend. No one wins.
