Lita For Congo Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Any pictures from open day of the home kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex#40 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Not available to buy, not available to see. Add that to hours and hours of queuing for a terribly organised autograph session and this team photo nonsense which is massively delayed and not organised at all, and the clubs had a mare.

Lita For Congo Posted July 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Really? City poorly organised? Never.... That's shambolic really but it probably sums up our abysmal summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex#40 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 There is nothing open about the open day. Players hidden away from anyone not wanting to queue for a dog's age. No ground tours. No sense that the club has made any effort to connect with fans at all. Will most definitely be the last time I waste my time on our "open day". Oh and Kilkenny appears to not be here either.

Alex#40 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 I know what it looks like but the club's own website said it'd be available to buy today. Shockingly... It's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex#40 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Was Nicky Hunt in attendance ??? According to the sheet of players available he was sat with David James. I personally didn't see him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex#40 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 No wonder people get wound up about the club at times. Exactly. Open training session, few legend appearances or Q&As a bit of local media etc would all help. This just feels like it was thrown together with minimal planning and zero care for what fans of all ages would want from an "open" day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex#40 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 You've got to love this club the new home shirt will on sale after the team photo. Which ends...at the same time the open day ends and everyone goes home. Marketing??? Seriously couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex#40 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Not really the whole thing is still dumb. Only start to sell the kit once the day is over and thousands of people have been through the shop that day??? That makes no commercial sense at all does it?

Guest Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 From a commercial aspect you want people to hang around as long as possible. So, er, it does but maybe not as practical as the theory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaverface Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Ok, this is what happened to me personally today, and I'm not moaning or complaining, just stating exactly how it panned out for me today. Arrived at 11:00 to massive queues of people trying to get into the Hirerite building to meet the players - with the tannoy system announcing various pieces of information. Decided to give this a miss and wander around to the club shop to have a look at the new home shirt. Asked the shop assistant if the home shirt was going on sale only to be told they'd be available at 1pm. In the meantime, I took the opportunity to join the City Foundation and decided that the queue for the players was still too long ! Instead of waiting around until 1pm to get the new shirt, I headed off to North Street to grab a coffee and kill some time. Made my way back to the ground at 12:40, only to be told by friends that the home shirt has been on sale since 12:30pm! Got to the club shop and the queue was out of the door with fans wanting to buy the new shirt. Proceeded to wait for 20minutes until I eventually got served, with the club shop staff apologising for the "technical fault" they had. Eventually made it out of the shop and wanted to see how the pitch was looking, only to find David Lloyd and co wrapping up a Q&A session in the Williams. Glad I got the new shirt as that's all I wanted from today, but I can appreciate how some people could of got annoyed, and I do wonder why the club didn't allow the home shirts to be bought prior to the BTP though as this could of cleared a bit of the back log.

gordie Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Hunt was there on no 1 table with James, from what Millen said after my interpretation was that he would play if we never had any other option, Killkenny was also there but he must have done alot of photos and his jaw was aching cos he looked a right miserable so and so.

My 7 year old wants one but wanted the away problem is it's white and that ain't a good idea with a 7 year old ! Cheers. MM The home goalie kit is bright/luminous green. Much like peter cech's Chelsea one. Also the home shirt is no good for you if you have a bit of hair on the chest. The 'V' goes fairly low!! I'm gonna get me the away one (if any).

FreeReds Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Obviously people have different experiences of the same day at the same event, we got there at about 9:30 parked up in the Winterstoke CP no problems, Players signing queue was longish but moved swiftly once it got going, individual queues for each tables were again longish but moved quickly. We got to see and do everything we wanted to do within an hour,had a bit of fun with a few players, as pointed out Nicky Hunt was at the top with DJ have to say what a top guy he is, I'd heard previously this was the case that worked hard in training etc anyway I digress. After leaving the Hirerite Building we had a wander around clubshop etc and then joined queue for the BTP 3 kids and the wife was delayed a bit 20 mins I think so no biggie, got in watched from the Williams stand all good, happy kids didn't bother with Clubshop re the shirt as the queue seemed to be the longest of the day not bothered we'll see the shirt soon enough and toddled back to the Car. Verdict - Not the very best open day today but certainly not the worst. Players Signing set up - difficult criticise or overly praise as whatever the arrangement there is you won't please everyone, personally apart from a couple of niggles it was good. BTP - without getting into the rights and wrongs of people affording things or not, the actual event itself inside the ground was well managed and my kids loved it. I do share the observation re Kilkenny he was there but didn't look to happy to be and did happen to notice him leaving rather swiftly after the BTP, maybe that's just his demeanour, maybe he dosen't like these kind of events who knows.

Well I can see your point but the other thread at that point had sunk into pointless bickering over grammer so put it on here instead as few others had metioned their experience of the day as well.

I couldn't see the pics from my phone but reading a bit of the article says the shirts go up to size 5xl. How fat are the gas fans? Or is it 1 shirt fits a family of 7?
