Not before christmas? Are these hand woven by artisans?Popped down - only really Medium adult shirts in both kits, some kids sizes so managed to get my sons.
Store advised remaining stock from the first order placed with Macron due in Wed/Thurs - could be limited in sizes, they were not sure what's coming size wise.
And from what they said it sounds like once that's gone a new order will need to be placed with Macron which would probably be an expected restock for Xmas and not before then.
If that's true that sounds like last year again which is disappointing.Popped down - only really Medium adult shirts in both kits, some kids sizes so managed to get my sons.

Its 2024 so these shirts aren't made by Taylor & Sons up in London or Manchester. They are no doubt manufactured in Bangladesh / India.Not before christmas? Are these hand woven by artisans?
Its 2024 press a button on a machine and make some more shirts.
Im pretty sure getting a t shirt from anywhere in the world these days should not take 4 months and a hefty profit can still be made.Its 2024 so these shirts aren't made by Taylor & Sons up in London or Manchester. They are no doubt manufactured in Bangladesh / India.
And as its 2024 people want them as cheap as possible and the cheapest method is via boat and that can take 5-6 weeks. Macron may well request all clubs submit re-orders by the end of September and then they may book a shipping container to hold all of the stock that is ordered within this order.
Once in the UK they will then be distributed out to the various clubs for them to place in their club shop.
This all helps to keep the cost down so that the shirt manufacturers make a decent profit on the merchandise.

Excellent. Back to the Micky Mouse ways of running a retail outlet we’re all used to. There was me thinking I’ll wait for the rush to die down then wander down to the shop to get shirts for myself and my granddaughter. Sounds like it’s going to have to be a Christmas present then! We have a big enough fan base for there to be a steady demand throughout the season. If that’s true that they’ll only restock twice a year, then it’s yet another revenue opportunity lost. I was at the Col U v Wrexham game last season, and like it or not their shop was impressive and well stocked with home / away / training / goalkeeper kits etc in all sizes, and was doing a roaring trade. It seems with some things we’ll never learn..Popped down - only really Medium adult shirts in both kits, some kids sizes so managed to get my sons.

@BoyWonder2, how did you get on? My intel on new kit coming in looks like it came up short.We ordered more than 800, that’s how many we sold on the first day. Surely the fact we had some on sale Saturday tells you we ordered more than 800? That’s basic maths.
I’m sure someone said there is another delivery on Monday too. I’m hoping there is already a few in store as I plan on popping down there then.

Sorry mate, I genuinely believed new stuff was arriving.Hardly any adult sizes of either shirt. Few kid sizes, but my eldest son had zero interest in trying one on, and absolutely nothing in the shop for a almost one year old.
Did take a walk around Roots Hall and a couple of people were cleaning out the programme hut, and we got a load of few programmes that needed chucking.
That's one way of looking at it.Excellent. Back to the Micky Mouse ways of running a retail outlet we’re all used to.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the club shop still franchised out to Macron? I believe Justin mentioned it at the night at the Cliffs and said there isn't a great deal of changes they can make until the contract ends.Excellent.
