This is worse than my Barry Corr thread from yesterday.

Too white and don't like the short sleeves, especially when it looks like it may rain!!

shorts are too long as well - and why is Don Rogers modelling it?

Our Board think of everything. Do you reckon we'll have a bag office as well ?

I see on the OS it says you need your ST as they will take a voucher from it....bit of a strange idea, is it 1 per person then ?


Title: Re: Shirts are in, first pictures...!
Post by: OneAndrewFitton on Wednesday, August 13, 2008, 15:01:40
I was wondering the same thing, i hope it's not limited to 1 shirt per season ticket holder.

I heard It is and hence why they are taking a voucher out the book for it.

There wouldnt be much point in only selling to season ticket holders if it wasnt 1 shirt per ST?

Because he is the club shop manager... so I'm told.

Please let that be a joke


Title: Re: Shirts are in, first pictures...!
Post by: herthab on Wednesday, August 13, 2008, 15:11:39
It's one per season ticket, which is why they'll take a voucher, so you can't give your ST to a mate to get one.

Seems a fair way to me.............


Title: Re: Shirts are in, first pictures...!
Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Wednesday, August 13, 2008, 15:12:37
I always consider shirts to be a birthday/Xmas gift so if anyone wants to use my ticket...

I can confirm the dude in the picture is not Don Rogers. He was a van driver.

JFW - get a shirt and pop it on eBay!

Title: Re: Shirts are in, first pictures...!
Post by: The Grim Reaper on Wednesday, August 13, 2008, 16:51:08
I think the club should discount the shirt by 1/23rd seeing as we have already missed the opportunity to wear against Tranmere!

I bet the rest of the shirts won't come in until September or October.

Don't think there are any away shirts available yet... think it was only home shirts in this batch. There are away shorts though, if you're that way inclined.

At least one game this year, i'm going to wear the whole kit, shin pads and everything.

Nah it's plenty big enough, it's the static from the material.

Having something in common perhaps?

Was in the shop last night, they had sold out of L shirts and they haven't got a lot of other suff in at the mo, they had training tops, shorts, stickers, keyring, Macari book & Trollope book and some choc lolly type thing with white icing......other than that fairly empty.

I'm assuming they must be waiting for everything to arrive to fill up the shop.

First time I've seen them close up was yesterday. I think the badge looks worse with the white border (should have perhaps done the border as a square if they had to have one). For this reason alone I will not be buying one.


Title: Re: Shirts are in, first pictures...!
Post by: yeo on Sunday, August 17, 2008, 15:34:36
seem alright to me.

I wonder where they are made?

They look a bit "sweat shop"

Fair Trade Swindon Shirts!?!

Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Monday, August 18, 2008, 10:53:10
I popped into the shop Saturday morning as I had just picked up my courtesy car and the garage was nearby - nearly mowed over Michael Timlin and his girlfriend int he car park as I wasnt used to the new car and took the corner a bit wide  :-[

If they are sweat shop, you have to wonder why they aren't a bit cheaper?

I mean, what are their overheads?

(This is a bit obscure and seems innocuous, but I promise this wasn't a serious post).

I heard they buy in the shirts for about £8 a piece - which made me feel slightly ill

Post by: janaage on Monday, August 18, 2008, 16:18:05
Why do we put our western standards on this sort of thing.  I'm sure the amount of money these asian kids get for sticking sequins on dresses for primark help them out shit loads, if they start getting a decent wage it'll only be inflationary for their region.

As long as they're happy (as the average person is at work) carry on paying them what they're on.  No problem.  I might get one now, just to help out the poor buggers!


Title: Re: Shirts are in, first pictures...!

I feel the same Jan - plus I like £2 tops from Primark


Title: Re: Shirts are in, first pictures...!
Post by: janaage on Monday, August 18, 2008, 16:24:00
£2 for a top is brilliant news, plus sanjay gets his 2p an hour, and as they always say on comic relief every penny helps.  You can't have it both ways.  Getting paid 2p an hour is better than your sweat shop being shut down by the western do-gooders and then sanj being out of a job.  How's he gonna get by with no reddies coming in?

Every penny counts - keep the sweat shops open! 


Title: Re: Shirts are in, first pictures...!
Post by: jayohaitchenn on Monday, August 18, 2008, 16:27:10
Getting paid 2p an hour is better than getting paid 1p an hour.

Do they get overtime, maybe time and a half for working Sundays?
