chinapig Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Got a call last night (8-15) from Kevin at the Megastore to say next season's shirts have arrived and could be collected. So I can now present my son with his new shirt on Saturday amidst much chuffedness (chuffedosity?!). The non-football side of the Club gets plenty of stick (including from me sometimes) so credit is due for the excellent service. Have to go back next week to get the Premier League lettering put on of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh_red Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 good work by them to get some in before the final. I've got some voucher to buy it with, but can't decide if i'll get it now or if I'll wear my retro on saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Sweeeeeeet, seems they'll be on general sale tomorrow from 9am http://www.bcfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,1...1316904,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_b Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Sweeeeeeet, seems they'll be on general sale tomorrow from 9am http://www.bcfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,1...1316904,00.html From the site; Replica kit was manufactured well before the close of the normal season 2007/08. So why this last-minute rush to get it through? Why not tell Puma "If we get to the play-off final we want you packing up them shirts and shipping them from [pick Asian country of manufacture] ASAP". Still, good work from the club. Odd that back of shirt/short sponsors aren't allowed in the Premier League given the amount of sponsorship everything else has at that level.

B1ackbird Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 The trouble is, if we get into the Prem, we'll have to sign alot of players called Blackthorn, or get our existing players names changed by deed poll... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalifoniaRed Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Have just emailed the club shop to ask about my pre-order. Was told it was only the Home shirt that was currently available. So unfortunately my son will have to wait until after the game Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimtastic Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I'm very surprised that Bristol Trade Centre are standing for this. They took a punt on City, sponsoring them for all of the 07/08 season. City's biggest game for years and BTC's opportunity to get plastered around Wembley. And the club are effectively closing the door on their shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the club are effectively closing the door on their shirts. Fair point though the vast majority will be wearing this year's shirt no doubt. My point was less about the early availability and more about the level of service in ringing me at home in the evening to give me the option of picking the shirt up early, which deserves some credit.

myoudale Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 how about if you order now a home shirt (as that is all there selling) now having not pre-ordered it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garlicbread Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I wonder if the new shirt will be on the pitch. Having a global audience, they mite do it to shift a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x3widRacin Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I wonder if the new shirt will be on the pitch. Having a global audience, they mite do it to shift a few BTC probably wouldn't like that too much. City's 2008/09 home shirt will be on sale in the bcfcmegastore from 9am tomorrow. I'm confused about this because the online shop is only selling the away kit it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm planning on ringing up at lunchtime to see if they have any left and if so popping down there to get one. (not bothered about wearing it to wembley, but want for my holidays) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevolution Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 There was about 40 i'd say at 9am. Not sure how many shirts they have because they had some on display and then were giving out packaged ones from the back. It's a lovelly shirt and now my dad can wear this seasons one and i'll wear this because he doesn't bother with shirts but wanted one for Wembley!

Kevolution Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Yeah it does but all the replicas will according to the bcfc site, it's just the players tops that won't have the sponsors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
