No sizes under "small boys" size (estimated fits 5-6 years old). These were not ordered from Lotto as it isn't cost effective (minimum order run size v last years sales). Grrrr

Ville, if the unexpected taking of the second payment is causing you problems, we understand the club will refund it if you ring the ticket office. Although you'll still need to re-do the payment at the end of September

It's not worth the hassle. I expect you have to wait a few days for it to clear.

Might get one before the game on Saturday. Still not sure whether to get the home or away one tbh.

There may not be that many left they are only getting in 1000 of each, away and home. So I guess there won't be alot in the regular sizes.

Maybe not but can't see 1,000 away shirts going before Saturday. You never know though.

That's a shame I was looking forward to getting a 'baby' sized kit, they usually do the really small sizes.

I'm sure they have missed a trick there, there must be plenty of supporters out there with young nippers that would like to put them in stfc gear.

Did you not read the part about it not being cost effective? There obviously isn't much money to be made out of them, which is not good for the fans wanting to kit out their babies in STFC clobber, but from a commerical point of view it probably is.

Get a normal kids one and put it on a hot wash.

Or get one of those car window ones if you've got a really tiny kid.

Actually, are they doing the car window kits? I never really saw the point in those..

They are doing stuff for younger kids, just not replica shirts. I had this in a PM from Marie a couple of days ago:

The clothing for younger fans are sleep suits, vests, and hooded fleece jackets which are "Swindon Town - ised"

Not sure if they're in stock right now, but they are catering for younger kids, just not with replica kits.

Quote from: Mrs Batch
I asked if they were getting anything in in the 4-5 age size as at the moment all the have is baby, 2-3 3-4 then the small boys stuff so 4-5 are missing out. She (shop assistant) didn't know but said they would look in to it but would take up to 6 weeks to get anything in if it wasn't already on order from the suppliers

So if you have a 4-5 year old keep a watching brief on the new stock I suppose, and hope it is on order.

When I told the lad last night he had to take his kit back and there weren't any smaller ones he said "oh no, that's not very good" and carried on playing his game. So not the complete disaster I thought :)

Ohh if they are having things like that then that's good enough...I'll invest in those instead....as long as it has the stfc badge on then that's good enough - it does annoy me when I see my nephew kitted out in Man U gear, so I will kit out my child in stfc gear - supporting a team that he /she is able to watch when they are old enough

If there's any left I'll get one Saturday. I'm assuming there's more of both on order that will arrive in a few weeks and some weird cost saving trick isn't being done?
