Not sure if I agree with the not wanting to exploit the fans stuff. I can see what they are saying but it is our choice to buy shirts etc, so I think they should get a few more in and make sure that anyone who wants one can have one.

They are ADAMANT that it is not a commercial exercsie and very aware of what a number of people think regarding being 'ripped off'. I do agree that enough should be ordered to ensure everyone can have one but by doing this they are stating firmly that this has not been done to make money but out of necessity.

I think I shall put my order in, haven't bought a shirt in a few years now.

Surely it's down to the individual.

I have no qualms what so ever about the club fleasing the fans as much as possible! So long as it gets invested in the team.

It is a personal decision whether to buy it or not.

I understand that they are not doing it to make money, but what was wrong, when they first knew that there might be a problem, in asking who would want one, getting them to pay in advance, then ordering enough to complete the order?

LOL, they're just creating a demand by putting it about that there's an element of exclusivity about it!

I'm not criticising the Albion for a minute, it makes total commercial sense to launch new kits, and anyone who complains about being ripped off is talking rubbish, just don't buy if you think that.

It's a very basic marketing trick- pretend there's a potential shortage and people will flock to buy it (look at what happened when Heinz let it "slip" that salad cream was doomed, or what unwittingly goes on every time people think there might be a petrol shortage.

Eventually the Albion will sigh and "reluctantly" announce that the white kit will in fact be released in greater numbers than originally planned "due to overwhelming demand".

Good luck to them, it's all money in the bank in the end.

Phoned club shop today and they said it was over subscribed all ready. Heres hoping I'm lucky.
I think supporters actually going to the game should of had preference, but I would say that as I'm going. :clap2: :clap2:

Exactly. Last year the shop said the Palookaville shirt was a one off exclusive only avaialble on one day, and the club were only supposed to wear it once. Still being worn now, even though the sponsor is somewhat needless.
