I cant believe all the people defending the club over this, a few weeks in to the season and no shirts is a disgrace. I know there's a recession but we're a Super League club ffs, not some amateur side!!

Yes but the shirts have been on sale 3 months , but hey ho lets forget about the fact that we were one of the very few SL clubs who managed to get BOTH kits in prior to Christmas ......no lets sack the f'ing board and move NGFC in as chairman in fact no forget it lets sack the G20 an have the world run by NGFC11 even thats one egg short of a dozen.

After all the tribulations of the past 6 months i find it rather pathetic that this is a burning issue .

Early days yet, but I can see this doing better that BigAl's "Greg Bird" thread. Exciting times on the Wakey board....

Is it? Did we order the same number as last year? Did they all sell out quickly? Is that a good or a bad thing? Was it reasonable to assume that with a recession on we would sell significantly more?

TBH i dont know if we ordered as many last year but no they didnt sell out as quickly cos i bought a medium more than half way through the season. I appreciate the club dont want to lose money but the season has only just started and i'm pretty sure they will sell a lot more shirts before the end of the season. Or should that be would have if they had any?

Personally i think this year they will sell more for one reason and that is what is embroidered on it.

I still think that for a professional team that is in Super League it is a disgrace that we dont have any for sale, was it 2 weeks in to the season that NGB4C said?

Why is it pathetic? I think it's pathetic that because someone raises a valid point on here that they get jumped on for it. Excuse me but i thought that is what forums were for?

No one is saying sack the board, they are just having a genuine moan about a few things. And yes the shirts were on sale before Christmas, well done to the club for this and yes the club do a lot of things well but it seems to me if certain people criticise the club then they get slagged off!

Isn't that the point, though? You got a medium size shirt half way through the season, and there may have been a number left over, so the club takes this into account. Maybe the number of (X)XL shirts left in comparison is because we simply haven't sold as many as we anticipated? Maybe they don't look good on fatties?

The point you made about Adam is a fair one, but I'm sure the shirts were ordered long before then, and the tribute came afterwards. You can't legislate for that now, can you?

Kyassor made a fair point, I think, for those who missed out. Get your names down on a list, and if there is sufficient demand, get the club to order another batch. It may not happen at ManU or Chelsea, but this is Wakey.

At last another person with a brain! Spot on yea 2 weeks into the season they go. Im sure the whinos havent sold out. Wakey are a laughing stock and it is some fans on here that dont help the matter because they havent the brain to turn things around.

Yep think Kyassor does have a fair point but, with selling out so quickly, i think the club should make an announcement to start this list with a promise that if they get a certain amount of requests then they will order them?
