Perhaps I should put my unworn 4XL 2018 away shirt on EBAY, could make a few bob out of it. Supply and demand etc.

Bet you would buy an XL shirt if it was up bosty, supply and demand

Hmm, never intended that a post asking if the club would restock tops would get 4 pages of responses. Apologies if this post has caused bad blood as was never my intention here.

Hopefully they will get more tops in, even if they just put a pre-order status in the shop it would be great. Otherwise will wait for the Summer Bash top

No apology required. NB could start an argument in a single cell and as usual, can't back up any of his "claims" with documented facts.....but I digress, regardless of increased season ticket sales or not, the fact that the club has run out of shirts before the season started shows an appalling lack of business acumen....it seems that they aren't willing to take pre-delivery orders on the out of stock goods either....from the club shop

You waited patiently and now here it is the new Errea / Buy Sports Kit Pro 2018 London Broncos Home Shirt sponsored by Bartercard.

Order your shirt now and receive delivery before Christmas.

Buy Sports Kit Pro are the supplier and they can offer free delivery on orders over 250 quid, so the lack of a pre-order option is just indicative of the lack of the left hand knowing what the right hand is doing.....as other have said, "after all...this is the Broncos"
I blame the coach's wife......apparently she runs the shop now

Sundays attendance was reported by the club as near 900.
Without doubt the CMG was busier than usual before the game. That may have been down to the weather.It was cold.
We now have a new entry system, where each ticket is scanned on entry. If it worked. Then the club would know how many attended, which season ticket holders did so. Also at what time they rocked up.
But then and this is for you Monkey Boy. It is the Broncos.

You are right NB. If it a 4XL 2018 shirt did come up on EBAY. I would be in for it.

crashman, Yep it’s me that’s the argumentative one, That comment does come from a bloke who actually disagreed with me in a post when I agreed with his comment!

FWIW the bloke who actually deals with season ticket sales told me face to face the numbers, the sponsorship income is up a fair bit as well on last year, but no numbers revealed.
But as it’s not on fake book so it must be made up in some folks minds.

Like I say though I hope they do get more stock in as I don’t have a shirt yet.

The situation with running out of the larger sizes. If the club are going to restock, why not get fans to pre order and even pre pay. I am sure many would do that. It would ease cash flow give the club an idea of how many to order.

Re: 2018 Home tops : Fri Feb 09, 2018 12:46 pm  

Might be a good idea and a sensible way to go, have you contacted the club and suggested it?
It would not please or work for everyone tho, I actually like to try stuff first for quality and fit, I don’t buy clothes direct on line.
I get the issue that not having any XL on the hanger for game one is not the best, but back to the issue of it being a business, your initial order is on projected sales, if that outstrips your actual sales for what ever reason then it’s a business decision of what you do, make any future pre order, or buy more for the shop but then risk having excess.
From a stock point of view always better to sell out than have stuff left, if that means we miss, that’s life.

Monkey well done in what you are achieving. I remember the year at the Stoop when the players didn't have the correct tops for the first game

I think this year was the first ever or for many years that we had tops available for Xmas.

Thank you. To be fair Jason Loubser has also worked really hard to ensure things went well. Kappa was a terrible option and I held my hands up for bring that to the club. Thankfully now every club except the Wankpack have got rid of them!

Season tickets this year are up on last year go figure!

Mentioned by the club in their twitter feed on the Dewsbury game. Up by 30% apparently. Now that should prompt an historical based essay.
