Good that Lobster is communicating to fans. However, merch will need to be a lotter better than Saint Virgo were producing last season. They had to be the laziest 'designs' ever.

FYI, Saint Virgo is co-owned by Jake Watson (Broncos communications).

All things considered it would be a bit ironic if this year the club actually got next season’s merch on sale before Christmas, wouldn’t it?

Ever the opportunist Jake, thought his stuff brought a new dimension to the word lame.

i find it strange that with all the money trouble the club had, one employee thought he could make some money with his other company that had been dormant the year before according to companies house then all of a sudden they start making leisure wear again. Lets be honest that gear was awful and a 6 year old could have made them designs up on their tablet at home.
You have the word London in the name, use it.

Agree with you totally. I'd assumed the merchandise was how they paid for the work that he did on Comms but I have no idea if that is true. Any new stuff from him has to be better designed & better quality.

I’m really pleased they’re giving it a go. The numbers they are chasing though do look challenging. Looks like we are keeping the Plough Lane/ training ground model which I guess is expensive.
I’ll chip in my bit and we’ll see where we get. Agree it is ironic that at the moment of most risk we are ahead of the curve on STs and merchandise although I assume the shirts are some way off as I hope we’ll be able to get some kind of sponsorships.
Let’s see what the Saint Virgo merch looks like. I agree they played a bit too safe last year. Hopefully they’ve had a bit of time to come up with some options.
