Clem's charm offensive was very impressive from the off and there's a 'not average' fan who can take a lot of credit for that. They still work busily behind-the-scenes to fly the flag for the ownership. They keep a very low profile which has made their impact so significant with PR and keeping the fans sweet.
Who's this then? |

Mytton? I don’t think he’s ever very ‘public’ in the way some of the others are

Also interested in who this is, if it isn't one of the obvious candidates, which it sounds like it isn't. Chris Hull, the regime client journalist, would be my guess. |

Would be interesting to hear from our Australian STFC supporters who are reported drinking mates of Morfuni.
When was the last time you met with him ?

I'm reliably informed by Mrs batch the club had a pre -christmas Christmas jumper/t-shirt sale before last Christmas.
Doesn't explain the home shirt sale though

I mean most people will jump ‘need the cash quick’ Which it might be but for me - most people who are going to buy Swindon shirts do so when they first come out. I can’t imagine many fans who are going to buy then wait till November. I’m guessing but I imagine by November you’ve probably already sold a large % of your total sales. How do you entice people to buy something they probably normally wouldn’t. Slash the price…. Some assumptions there on my part obviously…but…you know Amazon always have some sort of sale on and reduced prices & it’s not because they are short of cash. It’s too entice people in to buy something that isn’t essential to them because ‘it’s a good deal’ |

I’d have assumed Christmas would be the second biggest time of year for kit sales.

It looks like they have a lot of stock of the home kit and in my view isn't as nice as previous years, so it might be a stock issue |

Then reduce it in January like most sane business.
It could be unrelated, but I think I saw the shirts before the rest came out and it was certainly "wtf"!
I'm sure they do have too much stock and a sale will be needed. But that can't have been much more than cost price, very unusual for a club that likes to wring the last penny.

Coincides with the rumour we owe Puma a wedge as well. |

Whacking them down by 50% reeks of desperation to me
I bought a shirt with a name and number on thr back and it was £63 fucking quid!

I never knew Zav Austin was a bit of an unlicensed fighter in his ‘colourful’ younger days. Fought well known gangster Jimmy Tippett
How on earth did we end up with him.

Apparently they both almost had a fight sponsored by Reggie Kray. You couldn’t make it up. |
