Why not contact the shop, ask them how many is the minimum order for a new batch of medium shirts and then see if there are enough people interested in them to make the order worth while - the shop could put a sign up asking people to order them.

If there are enough people who want them then the order can be made, fans get the shirts they want and the club makes some money - everybodys happy.

If there aren't enough people who want them then the club doesn't lose out but at least they have tried.

Selling out two weeks into the season is poor...stop trying to argue its not.

So if we went on another cup run and wanted to sell another 1000 shirts we would say to everyone...you all should have anticipated the cup run and bought it in advance

No, I'm saying if the demand is there the club should react to it - IF the demand is there.

I wanted a medium but we had sold out....i contacted leeds rugby union and they were happy to sell me a leeds rugby union shirt.

I now where it at every opportunity.

We got to the semis last year and I don't recall similar complaints. Can't imagine we ordered less than last year's take up.

We did have a lot of XXL and XL shirts left over then, though.... and a few medium ones, IIRC. Large had sold out, sadly, but luckily I managed to fit the XL....

[quote="newgroundb4cas"]i will have a little bet with you here ordering 70 more medium shirts than normal quote]

THEY NORMALLY END UP SELLING THEM AT A LOSS < AS THEY DID LAST SEASON HOW THE F CAN ORDERING MORE THAN NORMAL CURE THIS PROBLEM THE SOLUTION IS TO ORDER LESS .

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!!

We got to the Semi and did not sell many more replicas on the back off it but did a killing on flags hats and scarfs.

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?
