And frankly, if we get promoted again this season I wont be too bothered about how much stock is in the shop in early July.


Not if but when


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

That would hold up if they had sold out of everything. They haven't. They sold out of the only item they've had in- the Home shirt.

They don't have home shorts, home socks, away shirts, away shorts, away socks, 3rd shirts, 3rd shorts, 3rd socks, goalkeeper shirts, goalkeeper shorts, goalkeeper socks, coats, hoodies, training tops (long sleeved), training tops (short sleeved), tracksuit bottoms or training shorts.

All those items were always in stock by mid-June in the past. That isn't them misjudging demand. That is them failing to get any stock at all.


You could be right, but we all are guessing as to the reasons.
But the club got the main things right.
Promotion
Season Tickets
Squad Build.  They are the main things, important things, anything else is the cherry.
If the shirt is that important, get your granny to knit you one.

Yet summers ran smoothly and the club shop was always full of new items (replica kits, training wear etc...) for us to waste our money on by mid-June.

I'm not cutting them any slack. 14 months is plenty of time for the new regime to organise things.


Yeah.

Mussolini got the trains to run on time.


And when you fall back into the mud it hurts a lot.
No! None of it was true, none of those things we thought we could see existed at all.
All that was really there was still more misery

We got promoted (exceeding most reasonable expectations).

We've allegedly f*cked-up replica shirt supplies (understandably given the above).

Conclusion: We prioritized correctly.


The two things are not mutually exclusive.

The training gear is launching this weekend Golly so if you're an early riser tomorrow morning you should be able to get some!


Unfortunately (or is it fortunately?) I don't live in the area and again the club have excluded exiles due to extremely limited stock.

Surely a brief statement from the club could put all this bed. Would not be surprised to se3 a new kit supplier at the earliest opportunity


Macron are contracted until the end of 2023/24 season.

Have you reached out to the club directly for them to say they have excluded you?
