the deal will be on a large shipment say if we just ordered 75 how much do you think the club pays for them ? ill give you a clue its over 2K

So your saying the club pay £26 (roughly) for each top.

They sell them for what, £45-£50 is it this season? So that is just under a 50% profit on each they would only need to sell 38 to make a good profit, which I think would easily happen.

Providing there isnt a minimum order required

Of course, but I still think the club would be able to shift the majority of them. The club would not know unless they bought some in.

If we go on another good cup run and get play offs, those with no tops or last seasons top will want the new top to wear to the big games. The same happend last season.

What if the minimum order is, say 500

As an outsider looking in, that cant be the case since Chris says you bought so many in on the basis of last years sales, so if that was the case you wouldnt have sold out since you've obviously budgeted for a certain figure

I would find it hard to believe that you would have to place an order of at least 500.

Well a fair few of new grounds mates have missed out and I am sure a fair few others will have.

The fans that bought them to the back end of last season may be waiting to see how well we do to buy a top, like they did last season. So they get use out of the top they paid for last year.

So why did people not buy them last season?

There is proof that people were buying them when we went on the good cup run, A fair few people I stand with at the ground went an bought the tops to wear just for the semi.

I don't know why it takes a good run in cup to buy a top, but thats what happend.

Hallelujah , Bingo , the jackpot

if we don't do very well they wont buy , this is why the club wont stock .

if anything we should be overjoyed that the success of last year as put the club in this position .
also mediums are available but just not at the club , i would guess its more a tool to criticize the club than any thin else. if he wants a top that bad he would go to the mill and get one . even online you can buy one so whats the problem.
NGFC can get a top , the club has no financial risk and sports direct or the mill or the on line ebay store gets another happy customer .
if they were that hard to find i would have mine for sale at 100quid
