Is they any news yet . When the home top is going to be in the shop to pick up

went in yesterday to reserve a shirt and hey said that they can't get hold of kooga.

the kits have left the factory, but whilst being shipped the weather has slowed it down. they are expecting them any day.

also was shocked, as I know they were limited edition with only a limited number but can't believe how many shirts they are bringing in! only 1000!!!!

Well I so glad that I reserve mine . Can't wait till for the season to being bring on the salford

1000 doesn't make sense to me. We've got a hard core support of around 2500-3000 and the sad thing is that the majority will miss out on what will ultimately become a piece of the club's heritage. Come on reds, give something back to the fans. 5000 would be more like it.

Good old Salford.

Sounds perfectly sensible to me - a 33% take up would, I suspect, be better than any other shirt sale the club have had - and presumably, if the demand does get higher they can just order more?

1000 seems like a good sensible number to me. garaunteed to sell out with no loss of money.

yes i know people who have supported Salford all their lives but wouldn't dream of buying a shirt let alone wearing a free one.

An early contender for funniest post of the year!

I hate to be the one to point this out but perhaps Salford only ordering a 1000 shirts goes to show their lack of faith in their fan base :/

I know theres nothing wrong with "playing it safe" , as they can always order more but surely the early indication of Season ticket sales would have been a good indication

or perhaps Salford know their fanbase and know that a lot will only buy a season ticket and that is it, we are not like Wigan where people wear the club shirt on a daily basis, Salford have tried many different items to sell from the shop, look at the end of year 100's of items left, only one or two of certain things sell.
A very good example is the half time draw, the average prize is 200 quid that means the club sells about 400 tickets per match which is only about 8% of the average crowd, that is a way of supporting the club but over 90% can't be bothered.

Yeah... but.. but... Errr...THE CLUB DID IT!!

Sack the board, sack McRae and get Simms out he should be doing something about it instead of having free holidays to Australia.

I'd say they're being optimistic with 1000 if true. Rather that than not having enough though I guess.

And it's hysterically funny because?

see the posts following, majority of Salford fans will not put their hands in their pockets apart from paying for the season ticket and that is it.

so that a no to any news

Are you suggesting you were being serious?!

Oh you numpty RING the CLUB SHOP! This and we are not the retail department.

You think 1000 will be enough, I don't. I want 3 and will be very surprised if I get them.

FWIW I think 1000 is under estimating how popular this shirt will be they could of got away with 1500-2000 mark, we have a hardcore base of 3500 BUT the reds and retail have always been an up and down market , i think the price will deter potential buyers imo although mine is already ordered

A gross overestimation: hardly any club has a hardcore of 3500. Salford probably has a solid base of 1000.

Plus who says they all want to buy a replica shirt? I haven't bought one; I haven't bought a replica shirt in ten years.

I have been a hardcore fan for over 40 years and I have never bought a replica shirt. I haven't even bothered to collect the free shirts to which my recent season ticket purchases have entitled me.

Fair enough by Hardcore my point was my observation is that our home support around is pretty always around the 3 thousand mark , no more obvious than when we play somebody like catalans or quins, so thats what i was getting at.
Maybe my rose tinted specs was getting carried away with the positive feedback about the shirt.

All you have to do is look round on an average home game. I bet you'd be lucky if you manage to count 1000 supporters wearing solly jerseys
