That's the point, it's poor the club will not be getting any more in.

Say we get play offs this season and another good run in cup, shirts will be in high demand like last season and I don't think fans will be happy when they say sorry no medium.

I know a few who are saving up for tops so let's hope they are not medium

i dont think your catching the point if we 'LOSE' money because we dont sell the shirts then that means the money we have already made is lost . The club took a bettering with the surplus shirts they had left because unfortunately Kooga dont do sale or return . Its been fairly judged by the club and if they are guilty of anything then its ordering too many XL instead off medium but its trail and error Adam. this is not monopoly money the club is dealing with its our lifeline and i would rather the club be prudent .lets do the maths say if the club put a 100% mark up on cost then it would still cost the club at least £2500 to buy 100 shirts (thats if we are lucky enough to get KooGa to run them off again at the same price)
wakey need to sell 50 to break even , of course things are never that simple and TBF i would be very surprised if KooGa would run 100 shirts off on the cheap as they are normally busy and orders need a few weeks befor they are completed this means the shirts would probably be with us in say 6 weeks if we lose the next 8 will the shirts sell?

I know its hard to swallow but its for the best

For the tops they sell, I would guess they will make double what they paid? Who knows? But the main thing is that they learn for the future, I would hope this does not happen again.

And FWIW many businesses would rather have a few too many rather that not enough, and I know there is this credit crunch etc but I don’t think it would effect the club too much not been able to shift a few shirts.

good bussineess plan = sucessfull franchises

i think we are gonna have to agree to disagree Adam which is a shame because im right





by the way dont you have a fan site to update? I can see no mention of the shirts on there

Mind you just had a brain wave



Maybe it could prove to be a good thing

With other items in stock like polo tops, jumpers and hoodies maybe they will be able to push them more and sell some more of them to boost profits



I was hoping to get some info (not about whats going on inside the club or anything) and stats off the club, but they will not give me any



In process of thinking of new ideas, now I can not do the ones I wanted to do

Why not buy a large one?

The club will be getting more shirts in, for our match at Wembley.

Seriously do you have a brain cell?? Fairly judged they ran out and not getting anymore in 3 weeks into the season? Fairly judged are you a complete duck egg or what???Im saying 3 week into the season because i actually checked a good time before friday last week so it probably worked out 3 week before season or even before that!

and you have fully evaluated the comapartive sales figures during the same period over say the last 3 years?


did you run woolworths cos thats what they did wrong! overstocked and sold at a loss.

Well our club certainly aint thats for sure! Seriously you comparing the club shop to woolworths!

Not scientific this, but...with only 1 person seemingly complaining about the lack of medium shirts, then yes, fairly judged.

If the reality is 50 or 60 people missing out, then no, not fairly judged.

If you are medium and would like a shirt, say so now...

yea because they all go on here dont they??? I know of 10 people that want 1 all relatively the same size as me medium.The club should have taken the chance sure 50 shirts over the usual amount wouldnt have been a killer to the club as people buy in the season. If you people think this is good policy ordering 3 shirts a year from ~Kooga then you are more stupid then I thought!

no silly
im just saying any decent marketing manager will look at sales trends and plan accordingly. our looks like he or she has
woolworths didnt

and as other have rightly said makers will have a cost for a planned run not for one shirt / 10 shirts.
bespoke orders will have a low profit margin dur to machine setup etc


does one not have a degree in economics?

what ever technical bill! They have got it wrong either way they didnt order enough simple as that!

yeah you win!
next week ill explain why shops have sales and why things that people dont want are cheaper than things people do want!



and why lots of cod processing plants are near the sea

That's why I said it wasn't scientific. Is that too big a word for you?

Did the club really order 3 shirts??? I don't, but then, maybe I am more stupid than you think!

I may change my name to "NewshirtB4newgroundB4cas".

You may be right that the club have seriously underestimated the need for medium shirts, we will perhaps never know. You and your "10 similarly built friends" will have to do without this year.

Why don't you buy Large or even XL and I'll get my other half to wash them for you.

=redso its taken 11 people since the end of last year to realise that they are a medium . =redand you know all off them may i suggest you start a facebook petition 'the Wakey 11 more rights for mediums'

=darkblueYou don't listen do you? the club had loads of shirts left again if they took another 50 over the usual amount then they would have the same problem plus 50 icon_rolleyes.gif





=greenare you capable of thinking?

its ok i will buy small and where it as a bra and show you my abs of steal. Im not going to say anymore on the matter lots of people have missed out because the club underestimated it. Heres something scientific for you selling out 2weeks into the season is really really shabby and not getting anymore in is really really shabby aswell. Yes ordering a 100,000 shirts would be rediculous! Medium is the normal size usually but they obviously didnt realise this.

you could do this with a hat

Bit harsh!

Don't gang up on him. He brought a valid point up. And if your medium your medium. Maybe they were saving up to buy a shirt as they are expensive to some people.

Any way this is going no where.

Maybe he should have known in advance then?





Taxi!

i will have a little bet with you here ordering 70 more medium shirts than normal you wouldnt think they would all go in the season??? You really are deluded if you think they wouldnt. The club have lost money simple as that.

But saying "it has taken them up till now to decide they are medium" does not make sense.

It has taken them up till now to save up.

"Lots" - we have established there could be 11; there may be more.

Selling out already - maybe everyone who wanted one, got one (apart from about 11 people).

Not getting any more; perhaps shortsighted by the club.

Medium is not the normal size - also, Wakefield is reported as one of the most obese cities in the UK.
