2018 Home tops : Mon Feb 05, 2018 3:34 pm  

Hi Guys

Anybody know if the broncos will be getting more replica tops in. Seems really weird that they are already sold out and its only the 1st week of the season.

Did they under antcipitate how many they would need in medium and large?

I know several who were disappointed yesterday at not being able to buy replica shirts in their size. You would think that the club would be able to restock the larger sizes.
It is the first round of the season after all. Still, this is the Broncos.

It was interesting that the Danny Wards wife was running the shop on Sunday. All hands to the pumps it seems.

The club ordered hundreds and gave everyone the chance to pre-order for collection before Christmas and to purchase online in the run up to the season. The shirts have been very popular meaning some sizes have sold out. Everyone has had plenty of chances to get one.

Abusing staff running the merchandise stall on Sunday and complaining that the club have sold many more shirts than in previous seasons seems a little harsh to me. More are due in very soon but to blame the club for not being able to restock is unfair. An order for top up shirts was placed in good time but it is not a 'click your fingers' process, especially with a good brand like errea who have lead times that reflect how many clubs they look after in a number of sports.

There are some clubs, like those amazing people at Toronto Wankpack, who will not have replicas on sale until March and they have over 100,000 fans wanting to buy shirts so just remember that when you are criticising the club who have worked hard to keep people happy year on year.

Sorry, but I cannot accept that the club have worked hard to keep people happy year on year.

Monkey lover, don’t get the shirts in time for xmas the club are in the wrong, get em before xmas the club are in the wrong. Buy too many and have to sell em off cheap, the club are in the wrong, sell out and re order they are in the wrong.
Increase the number of fans, the club are in the wrong. You miss the point, the glass is half empty it’s all wrong we are doomed

Exactly. If the club held a secret sale of shirts in the run up to the season I can get it but they gave everyone plenty of chance to buy one, at a time when the cash was needed most, so if you have not got one by now you have to accept you ran the risk of missing out until later this month. They over order and then the club are left with a huge bill and further digging into the pockets of DH.

I went to Tesco at Christmas, in fact it was Christmas Eve. I needed Carrots but unfortunately they only had a few scabby ones left and not the size I wanted.

Imagine that, amateur shop like Tesco trying to compete with the big boys 'Spar' who had loads of carrots!!

Thats an odd example! London fans can only get them from London we don't have Spar as an option, but I do get your point!!

The tops look good this year. Maybe that's why there's a bigger take up.

And there are more fans to buy them.

It depends though, I would expect that if the club has sold out of replicas before the season actually starts they would order some more in, which would be available later. I can accept that if a Top has sold out by June, not to order more, but we are in Feb and at start of season.

All I was asking was if they were ordering more. I can wait a few weeks for the top, but seeing I have each home top since 2006/2007 season dont want to miss out on this one.
