any idea when it goes on sale, if at all?

Spoke to someone at the club shop before the Orient game and she said they were hoping to receive delivery this week.............

Which probably means January.

Don't think there'll be many on general sale, as they were only doing a limited (1000?) release and most of those were pre-ordered.

didn't realise they could be pre-ordered  :shock:

£10 deposit, put mide down a few weeks ago

I think I'm the only person who doesn't like it

A huge selling point is the removeable sponsors logos on it, all you have to do is wash it once

I haven't washed my home shirt yet and the letterings coming off. Must be the smell...

I have the white shirt and daren't wash it!!! I keep wearing things under it so that it doens't smell or anything!

I much prefer the 3rd shirt to the white shirt.

Lynn said they'd hopefully be in 'before the next home game', this week would be good mind!.

I got my home shirt replaced last week, only wore it 5 times and the lettering/leaf was caput. It seemed to 'go' when I gave the little one a cuddle so maybe it is heat related.

The new one is from the 'new batch', so we'll see if Lotto have managed to fix their cock up. Lasy years Nationwide logo is fine, perhaps if it is the size of the lettering/logo Kingswood would consider putting it all in a block (like nationwide) for next season.

I Emailed the shop earlier this week asking this very question. Reply below.

so end of october means end of november. ace

ye they did say end of november.

they club probably used the money from deposits to play off some debts and are waiting for the take over to be complete so they can pay lotto for the shirts and then they can get delivered.

I've washed my home shirt loads and the lettering is fine, the edges aren't great but it's nothing too major.

Which powder do you use? And do you find fabric conditioner helps? Also, can you advise which spin cycle gives optimum results and whether this should be combined with drying flat?

I have no idea, I just place it in the washing basket and then it magically re-appears in my wardrobe. I was not aware there were other stages??

Trick question. You successfully passed the genuine bloke test.

the way it shuold be

I asked today in the 'Superstore' and Lynn said she is expecting them Wed's / Thur's so is planning to get the pre orders ready for Fri ahead of the Brizzle game.

They had better be - I have ordered one for my boyfriend for his birthday and its his birthday next week!

They were supposed to be in the end of Oct!!

For the love of god please Mr Fitton when you take over please employee someone to run the shop properly!

I agree, Ive been waiting ages.  Plus its payday friday so would be perfect timing.

To be fair, it's not clear whether this is STFC fault or Lotto promising but failing to deliver.

Incidentally my newly replaced red top (from the 2nd batch delivered)  is peeling it's letters after 1 fucking wear.

I might just get a refund this time as they are clearly not fit for purpose.

it not just this - I just dont think the shop is run well in general - they never seem to have enough stock in and never have anything new or excting to buy - just the same old crap really - I think the shop could make a bomb if it was run properly

Are you suggesting we get Al Queida in to run the shop then?

:o - radical - but I bet they would start a nice line in red and white headscarves

Have you just whooshed yourself Sam?

Nah, the forum went all spacker again.

Slightly unfair I think, at the moment Diamandis has the say in what goes in there - he boasted once that he stocks the shop (and possibly takes a large slice of the profits too) - and when I enquired about the black shirt three weeks ago I jokingly suggested that if the previous bills were paid it might help hurry them along a bit, I got a look that appeared to be in agreement with me!! :oops:

Probably mostly true.

I was quite impressed to see that for the first time ever they acctually have the home and away shirts in long sleeve available. Depending on christmas funding I might well be purchasing one  8)

I had forgotten all about this! I think I might have ordered one but I can't remember  :|

I have a long sleeve red shirt, only £2.00 more than the short sleeve ones (well when i got mine)

you did!  :D

Ace, did I get a Receipt coz if I need one I don't have one!  :|

I was stood next to you and yes you should have a receipt!  Dont worry they have your details though, do you remember giving her them? hehe

Happy birthday for next week fatbury!  :D

Wasn't it me you and Si that went in there? I wasn't drinking was I?

I think I can safely say I lost the receipt ooops!!!

Oi cheeky!! Ill whip your Polish arse!!  :P

the girl i'm seeing phoned up a while back to pre-order one for xmas for me.
She said the lady she spoke to in the shop was a right rude cow and basically implied she couldn't pre-order one cos i wasn't a season ticket holder.

I'm unsure if she's managed to order one or not but she was fumming about it.

Yeah think so!  Not sure if you were drinking!

 :D

i'll be more that happy to oblige  :mrgreen:

Wash at 30 c without fabric softener.

My ex washed his england shirt (with a number printed) on the hottest wash in the washing machine and it all come out melted and stuck together - needless to say I took it back and still got a replacement!

The club shop must have handed out so many Swindon replacement shirts by now.  Everytime I go in theres someone exchanging.

TBH it's not rocket science. If a bachelor living alone like me can wash my clothes correctly without shrinking, dying or making them peal off then i'm sure most people can figure it out.

I never wash any clothes above 40c apart from bedsheets  :mrgreen:  :wink:

is that because all your clothes is allready pink?   :fag:

Yes they are  :fag:

You'd make someone a good wife Ralphy.

(and no, that wasn't an offer!!!)

 :oops:

i never knew laundry was so dangerous.

Fucking lethal mate

stay well away from it if you can

More dangerous than trying to buy a copy of the Adver on a matchday I heard.

Good theory Anthea, but mine had started to peel before it went into the wash (1 wear).

Least he washes his bed sheets...... :mrgreen:

if you want a 3rd shirt, buy and away one and in the washing machine put something black :wink:

When I bought shirts I used to wash them by hand

Sussex got chicken soup stains everywhere then Birdy?

still peels hand washing the bugger theyre just shit quality

no, skidders

Tomorrow for pre-orders

About bloody time!

What time is the club shop open until?

I can't just nip down there, I'm in Swansea.

I am going to Exeter at the weekend, I suppose I could make a de-tour, but I'll be leaving here at about 4 so it would have to be open until at least 6.

can you not pay the rest over the phone and get them to send it to you?

Bell bottoms Ralphy ?

What really gets me about the shirts (my away shirt print about 60% off after 2 fucking washes) is the the enormous Lotto badges on either arm are printed with a different plastic and dont come off at all!

Why dont lotto JUST USE THE SAME FUCKING MATERIAL FOR THE REST OF THE SHIRTS. SPASTICS.

I know it's wrong, but I would (Anthea Turner, not Ralphy).

Available to pick up on thursday

Is she? Batch ... Chubbs fixed it for you.

Can he tell Mrs Batch for me :)

ooh just had a phone call from the lovely Lynne

just dont ask for any printing on them as they have no numbers in!  :-))(

I'd be happy if the printing already on it stayed on it before adding more plastic to it :roll:

woo, that gives me til saturday to find my deposit receipt  :|

I've put £10 deposit down on one so should be hearing soon from them.

I take it they can't put the numbers and names on because their red numbers not white ones like on the home shirt?

I was getting my tix and got a call whilst I was there!  Should have nipped in and tried to get it early to save me 2 trips!

http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~1172537,00.html

Bit late there magic!

i told her i'd lost my receipt and they said it doesn't matter if they have your details.

General release?

I may get one after all then...

Yeah they decided to put them on general sale!

Deposit money was prob only for a quick fix of some small unpaid business or to go towards paying staff!

better late than never  :wink:

I never even got a reciept - I paid my deposit over the phone

Do they take cheques? - I dont get paid till next week! bloody long month November!!

30 days hath November.....

Got this shirt yesterday and I have to say its actually pretty nice.

You aren't going to wear it tomorrow are you?Could be a bit of a risk,what with all the kuckle dragging gas heads about town all day :x

Nah it will live on a hanger in my wardrobe like my red one!!!!!!!

I will be wearing red I imagine tomorrow though, sod it, its my team and Im not a hoolie.

My car is staying at home mind!

Wonder if the merlin will be open for home fans or just Rovers?

Merlin is open to away fans only. Me and my mate martin got there last season at asbout 10 and had about 20 bill outside and about 150-200 rovers scum outside and the OB told us to get away from the merlin.

Only the CG Hotel tomorrow then? Bottom of town will be crawling with Brizzle inbreds.

Lady what size did you go for? I ordered a small adults - I wanted something non tent like but Zoe said the XLB was tiny this year

I went for a Small and it seems ok!  I looked at the XLB and I thought it looked quite small too.

I wish we had a club where they did womens sizes  :(

I know - It would be so much better and they would probably sell alot more - I think Zoes suggested it many times but you know what the clubs like - and I guess Lyn wouldnt really understand the need for fitted shirts! :soapy tit wank:

I thought it might be OK with the black shirts as black is supposed to be slimming and all that!

Haha, fair play to Zoe, maybe one day.  Fitted shirts would definitely sell a lot more.

The black I have to say looks better on than the red but if you cheat and subtly tuck a little bit of the sides in it kind of looks fitted!  :soapy tit wank:

I have to try and sneak into the shop and collect them without my boyfriend noticing as one is his birthday gift - which also means I wont be able to wear mine for a week either!

think i'll get mine tomrorow. tho will have ot get to the club shop early.

what time does it open on match days?

midday I think - but dont hold me to that

The queue is always ginourmous and makes me loose the will to live - might Email the shop and see if its OK for my dad to pop in and collect them next week for me when hes in Town - Lyn wont mind - I think she fancies my dad

If the quality is anything like the red and white shirts then i wont be getting one.

It's different print/material to the other shirts, but I don't think it will be any better.

The print definitely feels better/thicker. If it starts to go I will be getting a refund on this one.
