pigeon Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Due to huge demand and supporter feedback, City are delighted to announce supporters will be able to pre-order the limited edition purple and lime kit for delivery in November.This will be the final opportunity for supporters to get their hands on this iconic purple and lime kit, which has proved an undoubted success. I thought they went on sale this Friday? Didn't realise they had limited stock etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lack of Action Man Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Do they require payment now if you pre-order? Or do you pay on collection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC@Frome Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 It would make sense if you had to pay a deposit and the rest on collection especially as they will be sitting on our money until sometime in November. But it's probably full payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawberry2157. Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I paid on collection for the kit I collected this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I just rang the club shop. They will start taking orders next Wednesday, and will want the money up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeon Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I paid on collection for the kit I collected this week Problem is that some of us don't live near Bristol so I wasn't able to go down to collect a kit. I was quite keen on ordering it tomorrow but pretty ridiculous that we have to wait until November for it! Season is almost half way through by then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this also mean we cant do the old shirt trade in as that ends at the end of August? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 November??? Thought they were restocking this week? Was planning on getting 2 on Saturday. Does this also mean we cant do the old shirt trade in as that ends at the end of August? I thought so too, based on this article on the website: http://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/article/20140811-purpletalk-1819485.aspx So now I'm confused, especially as nothing has been said about the second batch being sold out. Can anyone clarify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also said that they would available to buy online from tomorrow onwards as well so i'm not really sure what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM91 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 This is unfortunate! I'd traded shifts at work so that I would be able to get to the ground at 9am and guarantee getting it this time!! But don't worry City, I love Friday night shifts anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 The new stock has already arrived but were all pre ordered so none are avalible for general sale. If you pre order you pay for it up front. I got the 2nd last shirt for pre order and I'm collecting it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalonred Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 As WTTJ says above ^^^ First lot sold out in a couple of hours. Second lot are due in this Friday (tomorrow) and were SOLD OUT on pre-order. The Next lot are available for pre-order from next Weds, pay up front and is the last time you will be able to order/buy one so get saving if you want one. What they haven't said is whether there is a limit on pre-order for the November delivery? (all the above has been picked up from various sources and is what I understand to be correct at time of going to press.... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamite Red Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I didn't even realise you could pre-order from the batch expected tomorrow. I had planned to try and grab one tomorrow 1st thing but I won't bother getting one in bloody November. Pretty poor IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catcott_red1 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 That is actually ridiculous!!! Surely the club would have worked out that demand would be high! I thought the whole point of going with Bristol Sport was that we could get kit quicker and cheaper! So far the club have done neither. Not just fans missing out but the club are missing out on a lot of money. They've had the whole summer to gauge just how popular this kit would be by consulting fans etc, about time they got their act together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atticus Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Frankly this is crap. Agreed. Why are they making this the last time to be able to buy the shirt?? Why do we have to wait until November to get it?? Did they seriously not expect people to want the shirt?? So they wont deliver? I would have to collect it when its ready? Which would mean Id have to make an 80 mile round trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampy Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 If the club put as much effort into the League Cup game versus Oxford as they've put into selling this crap colour uncoordinated kit then we'd be in the next round.

Cotham Brow Red Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 People (not all admitidly) want hold of this kit, so why can't the club see market forces dictate that its available as a general release. None of this limited time only cobblers. Come on city, its probably gonna prove more popular than the offical number 2 kit for gawd sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickle Rick Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 You either want it or you don't. Soooooooo... You either order it or you don't. Is that difficult to comprehend? No limit on the amount of orders and can do this without going to the shop. November deadline gives all enough time for an opportunity to get hold of a LIMITED EDITION shirt.

The fact that this is the last chance to order it. Is that difficult to comprehend? Last time to order it? I wonder why, hmmm.... Limited edition seems to spring to mind?!?! The 3 month wait is logical. Point 1 - it's limited edition (can't stress this part enough) Point 2 - the sense in having one big order is cheaper for production of such merchandise, rather than a continual production. Cost effectiveness of labour. No brainer, it's limited edition you see. So definitely not hard to comprehend. Anyway, mine is in todays order Reason being..... I contacted Luke Palmer @ Bristol Sport, as per the club instructions. http://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/article/20140808-purpleupdate-1813139.aspx Captain Hindsight would have a field day here, along with Shoulda, Coulda and Woulda .
