I ordered one as well. Pi**ed off with the charge for postage though.  Only saved £5 and some coppers in the end.


To be fair, you'd have had to pay postage on top of the shirt at normal price, so you've still saved a tenner (if you see what I mean).

Not ideal that we have to pay postage but that's part and parcel (don't excuse the pun, it's awesome) of being an exile.

Should have asked them to send it down on the team bus and picked it up at the Bideford match.

Quoted from GYinScuntland
I can never work out why they are called exiles.
Were they rounded up and herded away from the area?
Despatched on cattle trucks and a flotilla of boats against their will?
What is their MP doing about it?
Surely this is a national disgrace, it's outrageous in this day and age.  


I don't know about anybody else but I was taken away in chains.

I paid postage but you did have the option of collected them at the club shop,

They will not be in until August anyway so if you are going to a early season game  you could have saved on postage.

As Brigg has a DN post code are we not classed as exiles?

Quoted from wigworld
I think they said anyone who didn't have a DN postcode, so Louth should be eligible (if the offer hasn't finished).

So, someone who live just outside Doncaster isn't classed as an exile but someone who lives in Louth (or even Binbrook or Caistor) is?

This was raised with the club on twitter when they announced the promotion and they chose to ignore it. Why they didn't just state specific postcodes (e.g. DN32, DN35, DN36, LN7 etc) were exempt from the offer, rather than the entirety of the Doncaster post code area I have no idea.
