Championship opening event this afternoon, Leon stood with the old kit on for the picture....poor lad, surely someone could have knocked one together in 3 weeks?

We are like the poor relative.

Having said that if we give KR some hammer on Sunday we can be wearing the purple Northern kit for all I care.

I put on Facebook today that we might be using last years away kit this season. Now that the big money spinner for new kits (Christmas) is over. The club may look to launch a new home kit at the next appropriate date......the first home game. That way it coincides with us wearing it and might get fans in the shop on gameday.

IIRC We did something similar in 2012. Launched that years away kit against Catalan at home 1st game of season.

I have been down to the shop today to get my season ticket, if the kit had of been on sale since last Friday they would have probably knocked 100's out by now as it was very buisy and has been since then,

Xmas wouldn't make a big difference if they released it now they would still sell a score to people who usually buy them.

They will be bringing one out as they wouldn't be stupid enough to loose that revenue, I get the feeling we are getting a change of supplier though given selling all the ISC gear off for next to nothing.

When the new shirt comes out we might find out who all the sponsors are.

Judging by the last retweet from the club it looks like the academy is restarting and John Bastian is part of it.Now that is huge news!

Friend of mine was at a meeting a week or two ago for Bullbuilder. Bastian was there. Pretty much said the owners were right behind the academy and almost all the previous regime had been taken back on. But that the club had lost quite a few promising juniors (figure was either 8 or 9, I forget which).

Think it's just one of those things that's fallen under the radar but has been in place for a bit now. Regardless, it's excellent news. The friend I mention couldn't speak highly enough of John and the attitude he projects towards youth development.
