This is an amazing scheme in principle, and as it's my son's 7th birthday next week I was really looking forward to the benefit of using his Junior Seagulls voucher to get him a new shirt.
However, it turns out
- that the voucher is only available for home strip (that's fine)
- and the home strip is the only kit we don't stock in age range 6-8
First of all, who made the decision to not have a home strip for this age group - but to supply every other kit in that size? That's bizarre.
Second, despite all the merits of the scheme, what is the point of an age-specific scheme, if you don't supply an age appropriate product?
Like I said, the scheme is fantastic in principle. This seems like pretty pathetic execution. Or more cynically a way to ensure fewer parents take up the offer - as my son simply won't fit an 8-10 year old shirt.
