Story on the official site. Thoughts?

There are only 10 items at the moment but at least its a start. I feel the replica shirts would look better photographed both front & back on a plain white background. (Not just modelled)

Also I think it would be a good idea if there was a feature to allow fans to enter their email address so they can receive automatic e-mail updates when new items are added to the shop. This would also be useful for informing supporters about special offers and stock clearance items. I appreciate that the club may not make a fortune from online sales but it's still a great way of promoting club merchandise. A supporter may see a new sale item online or via email and then choose to buy it from the club shop the next time they attend a game.
Another idea would be to put a special discount code incentive in the match programme to encourage more online sales. eg, Web Exclusive - Buy this item online in the next 7 days and get a 15% discount! I also think it's worth considering having a poll on the shop site to find out what new merchandise the fans would like most.

progress has been made, online shop great stuff, give them chance to stock it up nice for xmas

Well done club

It seems that the rantings on these forums might have contributed to the Club kick-starting their online presence?

Bit of a coincidence.

Another thought is to offer supporters a wish list of club merchandise. Allowing people to enter their full name and to select the items they would like. This could then be used by family, friends and work colleagues for Birthday and Christmas presents. (Especially useful when people haven't a clue what to buy them)

All style no substance, I'm sorry but if it has been work in progress ,then currently its crappy. I'm certainly not going to start high fiving and saying a huge thanks because it should of been done and ready at The beginning of the season! Think about The loss of customers in the time its taken to throw that up. Amateur again....

Forum Power !
well done to those who raised the Issue

It needs some thought and ideas now. You can't just list a few items and then sit back and wait for the sales to roll in can you?

That is my point, why release a link to an online shop that is empty...honestly you couldn't make it up

It's a start, I'm most eager to see what the club will release next year for the end of the Willows.

Have to say though that Adamson seriously needs to visit the barbers, a girl at work just passed comment that he looks 'well camp'

If you don't mind me saying, moaning about a step forward seems a bit weird? true i did find it strange when looking for an online shop that the reds didn't have one, but they do now so isn tthat a good thing?

I will certainly be using it - has the things i was intedning to buy on there though (kids shirts and a ball)

Although the postage would be a bit steep at four fifty if i was only buying one thing!

Looks good and works on my iphone (rare) - result.

Maybe I'm just in the 'positivity' phase cos i'm new to the club and in six months I'll be calling for their heads too though

OK , the timing is peculiar to launch an online shop to say the least .
credit to them that they have responded and put a presence online though.

to offer what is essentially now ' last years strip ' at full list price is silly , all other SL online shops are kicking out their exisiting strips at offer prices at around 19.99 - 24.99 , or launching ' next seasons . They should have some product at a discount as a tempter.

I'd also like to see a " membership card discount " for online purchases .

As for the girlie haircut comment , I stood next to the Bros' Adamson at the Wakey game and they both towered over me , Shoulder op or not I'm not calling him Shirley .

Wait, are they bringing out new shirts imminently then? have they said that? Maybe i should wait before buying them for the kids? would rather get the latest ones than ones that are out of date already!

I am getting the home shirts, so if they are only changing the away then i'm fine. Had the order in my cart then! will wait for firther input now

actually that has made me think of a question - do rugby clubs change their shirts every season? hope not as that really annoys me about football! but I suppose rugby clubs might need the money more?

Take a look at the Leeds site,thats how you stock a shop

Sorry ! not wanting to do our team out of any hard earned but I am 99.9% certain there will be a new design for next season ( our last at the Willows ).
whether a new shirt will be available in time for Xmas is another matter!

Both shirts change yearly and the revealing of the new shirts usually coincides with the season ticket announcement (which should be soon I think...). The away shirt has come free with a season ticket for the past few seasons as well.

From memory the shirt is usually out in time for Christmas, although I seem to recall us having problems either last year or the year before resulting in people not getting them in time to give them as presents.

Thanks lads, I'll wait i think! Will be in the doghouse a bit with the boys but it will be a valuable life lesson to them - patience is a virtue so they say



Says on teh wensite that season ticket info is friday so not too long to wait!

Love it

can all new fans the club are targeting be like NMT ? He's happy with the shop Carry on like this by the new season ill personally hunt you down and buy you a pint and your kids fresh orange juice you'll be easy to find you'll be the one smiling far too positive about the good work the club try to do and its good to see





shirts delivered and in the shop by christmas that will make or break you positive ways

State of the art and well stocked with a wide variety of products. Just like the Club shop.

Will we ever learn? Have last season's ltd edition 3rd shirts arrived yet?

I am in no doubt the club do a lot of things very well but I think some supporters can see where improvements could me made. I wouldn't take some remarks as fans just being negative and wanting to rubbish the club. I think it's more a case of fans offering their opinion because they want their club to be as professional as possible. However, I do appreciate the club will have financial limitations and some criticism will be beyond the control of people at the club.

There's no pleasing some people is there

I don't have a problem with people offering their opinions or criticism's about the club,the way that it is run or even the staff what I do have a problem with is the continual negativity that some people have over everything that the club do.

We have had a complete newcomer who after visiting the MOM site expressed his satisfaction over the SCR section and the way that he and his family were received and some people aren't happy.

We signed a certain Daniel Holdsworth at the start of last season,several people weren't happy and said so,where are they now?

The sound system is too loud for some,not loud enough for others.

The beer is too dear,the wrong brewery or too warm.

There are ways at the club to put any queries or complaints it's just a pity some people don't use them.

Spot on there!



Seriously though, great post.

I couldn't disagree that there are a small few on this forum that never have anything remotely positive to say about the club. I get the impression that they are waiting with their fingers over the keyboard for something new to have a winge about.


Must also agree with your negativity comment, it's something the club has had hanging over it for far too long now with the stadium delays, the financial restrictions and our league standing. I can only speak for myself and say that I'm a hell of lot more optimistic than I was 3-4 months ago. A bright light at the end of a long dark tunnel I hope!
