They are just pathetic.

Can playerlayer not supply the ones the players wear?

I just pray the clubs not bought too many of them. No one knows what they are doing in there. Its a big concern

Maybe when they fill the commercial / marketing vacancy all will be resolved and there will be no need to moan and complain....I doubt it!

Those Polos are a [SwearFilter] disgrace and an insult to the fans. Wouldn't be seen dead in one of those and my dress sense is awful.

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.

When you'd rather they carried on stocking nothing than shite like that you know it's got beyond a joke
Just sign with Nike, Adidas, Puma etc (any of the major sportswear brands) get a load of replicas and a good range of leisurewear

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.

Have you got your application in for the commercial role?

Thats not a dig at people like susane and bar staff ect...

But its this creaping attitude coming back that we've had previously of the club v the fans once again.

Theres very little happening of the pitch to get excited about which is once again creating the apathy around the town.

People who could be future fans/customers laughing on social media at our merch.

Things like this just validate my opinion that I'd rather spend the next three seasons finishing twelfth in the league, and spending money getting what can only be described as a poor commercial side (in terms of shop stock, pricing, quality/website not being updated) up to the standard required for a professional outfit and making some progress on the ground, than throwing money at trying to get up the leagues as quickly as possible. It'll only bite us on the arse.

Those polo's are horrific. I'll be looking forward to seeing those on the 10 o clock news. When ISIS are wipping someone's head off hell fire, get them boxed up and sent down save the children. Off the pitch the club is an absolute embarrassment and how anyone can defend it is beyond belief.
