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.
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.
