Thanks - I thought this too. Reassuring to hear my source is clearly wrong! Still hope.

Have heard second hand info that there’s only 4000 left. No chance for members if true EDIT - since shown to be clearly not true!

The thing that gets me is that merchandise isn’t that hard to get right, but very important to get right. It’s a key element in the club’s marketing as well as a very useful revenue stream. As fans we are effectively paying them to advertise the club for them, and increase brand awareness in the local area, the rest of the country and even the rest of the world. And yet we’re crap at it. We either sell second rate crap, or we don’t sell anything at all because no one wants it or we haven’t got any in stock. It’s mad.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! A voucher for a shop with no stock. Genius prize. Probably expires before Christmas.

Actually, I was wrong. Just checked. As a member I remember not even trying, but I recall now that’s because I couldn’t make it! https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/man-city-away-sold-out/#:~:text=City's Carabao Cup semi-final,in the last 24 hours.

Man City sold out. Members didn’t get a look in. We took 45k to Wembley for a game against Walsall. Lot of interest in this one. Season ticket holders who want one should be fine, less certain for members like me.

I’m a member. I think you should wait until Tuesday

Just had a look at Forest Green’s online shop as a comparison. https://www.fgr.co.uk/shop/collection/replica-kit Nice, clean, mobile-friendly interface. Cool kits that will appeal to young people. Recognised brand (Umbro). Most importantly: ALL KITS IN STOCK IN ALL SIZES. How can they get it so right while we get it so wrong?!

Yep. Would have bought a shirt and a cap today. About £70. For different reasons they ended up not getting a penny from me.

Is Jerry away of the general dissastisfaction around the merchandise Dolly? I hope it’s been fed back. Club should be embarassed.

I suppose anyone who’s been to 3+ away games at this stage of the season is a pretty regular away tripper, so you’d expect most of them to be up for an attractive fixture like this. Will be interesting to see what happens Friday. I’m worried!

Laughable.

And while I'm ranting - thought I'd buy a cap for my Dad for his birthday coming up. £15. Not too bad (no idea about the quality though). Clicked through....postage is £5.95 for "tracked courier delivery"....SIX POUNDS! And why the hell do I need a tracked courier delivery for a hat?! HOW ARE WE SO CRAP AT EVERYTHING

Just to come back to this, there is now a statement on the website as follows: - Following unprecedented demand for the 23/24 Bristol City Away Kit, we are currently out of stock of online but have limited stock in-store. Additional stock will be added to the site and store, in the coming weeks. What an absolutely shambolic state of affairs. The "coming weeks" won't cut it for Christmas. Also, why hold certain stock in the shop only? Not all of us live in Bedminster. Have I really got to make a special trip to the stadium for the mere possibility of finding something in my son's size? Why not just make whatever you do have available online? There is currently not a single kit in stock that I can buy for my 13 year old. Not one. I don't buy "unprecendented demand". They haven't even got any yellow shirts and most people hate that one. Absolutely inexcusable at this time of year.

Cheers. Didn't realise it gave a remaining total.

"People are desperate for us to lose" is never not a completely thick comment.

Where can you find out how many are left? Anxious wait for me as a member - hoping there are still some left on Monday!

Classy. Well done.

So you’re not even giving him six games then.

The Elizabeth line has made Stratford a much easier proposition from the West side of London. It's quick and doesn't stop in that many places on the way. Much better than ordinary tube lines.

Shady behaviour by a Tory? NEVER!!!

I'm not so certain we won't sell out. But I am certain that posters using the forum to encourage season ticket holders to make a profit from other supporters is shameful (I'm not talking about you by the way)

I'm a member and I'm definitely worried I might not get one. Seems to be a lot of interest - cheap tickets, first visit to a big and iconic stadium (albeit more for the Olympics than football). Which is why the "can we buy more than one each" posts always boil my p1ss!

What are you saying?

Always irritates me when people say this, why would it be more than 1 per season ticket? Members have paid for priority, mates of season ticket holders haven’t. Hope I will get my chance on Monday.
