the club shop are stupid

[huddersfieldseagull]

i have rung 3 times now to ask how long the new strips will be used for as i dont wana buy 2 and it only be valid for 1 season the first 2 times i got told we dont no which i find hard to believe as they are ready to sell them then the third time they are saying til 2009 in otherwords 1 season can anyone confirm this if true ripping the fans off when deal sponcer said it was 2 year deal!

 

[clippedgull]

why can't you just buy the one for now?

 

[blockhseagull]

No they are not stupid, probably just don't know, as sponsorship deal is for one year with a one year option.

Kit style will prob last two seasons, sponsor may change in a year

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

why not email the sponcer?

 

[mattb]

you are stupid

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Seems perfectly reasonable. Most clubs have a 'use by' date on the shirt telling you when it will be replaced.

 

[strings]

blockhseagull is right, the sponsor is only for a year with a further year option, therefore nobody really knows the answer. I think it would be harsh to call them stupid.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

The club shop people are clearly not stupid but the question is reasonable and the club should be able to make it known how long the shirts will be used for. Every other club in the country does...

How can they, as sponsor may last for two years...may last for one

I don't think the question can be answered with any authority by the shop.

If the sponsors have a 1 year option they may not take the second year.

 

[Jamon Jamon]

if the previous years quality is anything to go by you'll need a replacement by January anyway


PS I like the staff in the shop and ticket office, I've always found them helpful

i dont get it. do you wish to buy a shirt because you want to support BHAFC or because you must have the current shirt? of course these are not mutually exclusive, but you dont have to have the current shirt to show your support. you could just not buy one next year if its a problem.

By not bending over backwards to accomodate a sponsor who I very much doubt has the sort of financial clout to make huge demands of the club.

If it is one year then fine, they should say this kit will be for ONE season and will cost LESS.

Then if the sponsors want the second year they have optioned then bring out a new kit AGAIN at a lower price than normal.

Lots of assumptions there

Maybe this is the best deal for the club, is no secret that next summer we will be looking for a poss stadium sponsorship deal so that might include shirt sponsorship as well.

To me it looks like we have covered all bases and prob got the deal that suits us

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I have no problem with it being a one year deal. But if there is even the slightest chance the club will have to change ALL the kits AGAIN next season then they should be making this clear and charging people less for the kits.

Why should they charge less, the yellow kit wasn't less and that was for one year.

What if they don't change do they charge the fans back the excess!!?

I will repeat myself...

IF there is the chance it will only be for one season they should make it a one season kit.

Then if the sponsors does decide to take up the option of a further year then just bring out another new kit - again at a reduced price.

Fans fork out enough as it is. Kids will want all the new kits and parents, probably already feeling pressure from the rising cost of living, will feel under pressure to fork out for the new kit and then possibly have to do the same thing again in a season's time.

All I am saying is that unless the club can say for definite the kit won't just last a season (and at present it can't) it should make the kit for one season, let this be known to the fans, and knock a bit off the price.

And if it does last for two seasons, then the club lose important revenue by selling a two year kit on the cheap
