I wonder how many they have actually sold. We have not bought a top since the move to PL,and we used to between the three of us buy 6-7 tops a season. I can't think they have sold more than a couple of dozen tbh, but then I've go to so few home games now its hard to judge
I’ve seen a few being worn around the ground but not lots. I assume, apart from our mediocre at best approach on and off the pitch last season, making people reticent, it’s the way this year’s merchandise has been marketed ie rushed, last minute and a bit half hearted. The shirt is fine but you’ll recall we only announced shirts very close to season’s start and then only as a computer generated image. That may well still be the case. Difficult for people to judge whether they want to buy and then the moment has passed. I’m also not sure you can get into the store at the ground, once you are in the ground.
The other clothing is pretty underwhelming and feels rushed. I suspect we will make a better fist of it for next season. It really shouldn’t have been such a struggle this one though- not sure what happened.
