At last!  :)

Acemundo, my missus is off Thursday so I'll get her down there first thing 8)

Yey Missus is taking the 2 kids to the football in the community  course on thursday , hopefully 3 new shiny kits for Cheltenham on Saturday.

Mine too. Excellent.

Us out of Towners are fucked then.........

Providing the shirts don't get held up in Customs of course, and that they are actually "in flight" tonight.

I'd recommend cautious optimism at this time.  I realise the shop will be open anyway. Don't forget to take your ticket along

I'm gonna drive over after work on thursday afternoon.

Do you think they'll be any left by about 2 pm?

I can't see 950 selling by 2pm somehow

I'm buying 900 and selling them on for 50 notes.

What you don't yet know is 900 of them are kiddie sizes and 40 XXXL.

Spot on thats exactly what I want :cheese:

Second batch for me then ah well no real problem

I'm sure there will still be plenty left at the weekend, people will probably wait until the weekend I expect to buy.

I'm looking forward ot seeing what else the club shop has, hopefully they will have a lot more than last season

kit's just arrived!

Queue of about 100 people at the moment!

So you're a lardarse with loads of kids?

You serious?

According to my missus who's in the queue, yes.

Sad bastards!!  What's the rush?

The shop is open. They've let the first 15 people in and are now operating a 'one in, one out' policy.

Are many people in this queue wearing anoraks??

Erm, I don't know. Why?

Do these people not have jobs to go to?  They must be the same people that I see on an all day session in the Wetherspoons on a Tuesday afternoon.

Or I suppose they might just happen to have booked today off, to err watch the Olympics?

because they are possibly on the geeky side - why are they not at work anyway??

<disclaimer>I'm working from home today</disclaimer>
I've just driven past and the queue was well out into the car park. If it dies down later, I may pop down and get the kids one. Anyone know how much they are?

Because they have to buy the new Swindon shirt on the first day of sale JFW that's why!!!

Fair enough if they're buying one for their kids but if there are grown men in that queue, buying shirts for themselves they need to have a word with themselves!

I have a mental image of Paul now spending his day driving up and down county road keeping an eye on the queue, as soon as it's down to a handful of people he'll dart he there buy himself a shirt and go home.  Working from home my arse!!!!  ;-)

I know - Im not keen on grown men having players names on the back either really - Its especially creepy when they have a players name then copy that players haircut/tattoos etc *shudders*

I sent the missus instead.

Sam is it this weekend you get married?

Surely your girlfriend has better things to do?? like fitting in a million beauty treatments/ last minute organisations etc etc - your mean  ;)

Yes it is.

She's gone to get me a shirt in-between getting her nails done and picking her dress up.

ahhhh are you excited?

JFW - why would Sam's future Mrs need "a million beauty treatments" is she that bad??

No I didnt mean it like that Jan - stop trying to stir up a pot of poo!  ;)

Every bride wants to look her best

In the run up to my wedding (should anyone ever want to marry me!) I will be mostly Annoreixic/Orange/covered in lotions and potions!

I cant imagine me being someones wife though

Don Roger's is working the till :).

what???? is this true??? I dont understand?

Yep, 100% true.

surely he should be in the prime of retirement by now?? or perhaps running his own shop?

or is it like a little opening day treat?

I'm planning to get mine tomorrow, as I've got a day off...assuming there's some left !!!

I was told that Don is relocating his shop to the CG one ... sort of running his and ours at the same time ... good idea I say

I did mnetion THE DON was the new club shop manager in the other thread about shirts arriving!

I thought you were taking the piss Gary.

Wonder if the away shirts will arrive by the end of the season!

thats ace!!! if the queue isnt huge later i'll get mine when i'm... err... definately not at work. i wouldnt dare park my van up after collecting the mail from the club office and go and get one in work time. nope, not me...  :naughty:

You're user name makes it pretty clear that you can you know!

Shop looks nice I thought....

Got me a shirt and two for the kids - I was surprised they even have kids ones in yet !!!

Even had some shorts in - as we are away somewhere hot next week I had to get some of them in as well....

I reckon the queue was about 75 people when I went into the shop - took me an hour to queue and get in - I reckon they will mostly be sold out of the L sizes by tomorrow though......

The away shirts are also in the shop today according to my missus, big queue but she got me 1 adult and 2 kids for Saturday's trip to Cheltenham

Got mine :D

I'm off to Swindon in abit.

Whats the club shop like now?

what sort of other tat are they selling? - I need a new car sticker

I still have the old dimond logo one!

I drove past and there was no queue around 12.45. 

I can't get to the club shop until Saturday (and even then if i do it will have to be before i leave for Cheltenham) so i'll probably have to wait until the next batch.

They had no away shirts this morning - were quoting 3 weeks - although had away shorts - I snapped up a pair of those !!!

Jeez is the queue that long?

No but 950 will be gone by the next home game i reckon (i won't be able to get mine until then). 

I only buy the shirt to keep anyway and not wear so Ill wait until the excitement has worn off to buy one!  Keyrings and car stickers on the other hand....

i need a car sticker. might even get one for my work van :D

let us know what stickers they have!

I could see 3 stickers on sale although 1 was a tax disc holder so not sure if that counts! The other is just a square sticker with the Swindon crest and the other is a typical car sticker that says 'Swindon Town FC'.

Without trawling through this.... Does anyone know when the rest is expected and when the STFC online shop is back in service?

wow Im going to buy all three and plaster my car with them

What time does the club shop close?

Away shirts arent in yet. I checked. They look lush though

the shop looks rather good from the pics on the site.

i was thinking the same sonic.

Looks good, just fuck all in there!

it does look good, just a lil bare at the mo. looking forward to seeing the away shirts!

I think the missus got confused with blue training top things, to be fair she did go under protest so I was amazed she even queued. Got home from Manchester last night and tried the new shirt on ready for Saturday.

And a quick note I meant to add yesterday re kids shirts - apparently Lotto aren't doing the age-based sizes this year so it's a choice of Small Boy, Medium Boy and Large Boy (talk about missing a trick!). Small Boy is roughly equivalent to 5-6 years, so unless you've got an especially strapping 3/4 year old, you may want to be careful about promising them you'll get them a new shirt. (Like I wasn't). This probably only applies to me, but thought it might be worth a heads-up for any other parents of 2/3/4 year-olds out there

That's not what we were told. We were told they have them in and will be available next week (4-5 age) as they have not unpacked the stock yet. We bought a SB so the lad wasn't upset he didn't get one on the understanding it can be changes for a 4-5 later if it was miles too big (it is).

If this turns out to be true I'll be fucking furious.

OK, this is on the basis of a casual conversation with the lass behind the counter when I went in. I wanted two shirts, one for Joe who's six and one for my youngest who's three. I saw they weren't in age-based sizes any more and asked about it and the lass said they weren't doing age-based anymore. So I then asked what "SB" was, and they said 5-6. So I asked whether they were doing the younger sizes, cos I needed a 3-4 for Tom and was told no they're not doing those this season. Which I took to mean younger sizes full stop, but may well have just referred to the 3-4s. So this could just be a misunderstanding. In which case, sorry for spreading alarm. But she certainly didn't mention extra sizes coming in in the next few weeks - I clearly came away with the impression that what was there was pretty much it in terms of child sizes. I hope I have got the wrong end of the stick for whatever reason, partly for your sake Batch but also if it means I'll be able to get Tom one in a week or so.
