ralphindevon Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 12 minutes ago, spudski said: I think it has more to do with celebrating our former players. Rather than a game tbh. There's been an active role by various people to embrace our former players, something we neglected for years. It's a joy to see them at the ground now. Good for them and the fans. I can only see positives. Yeah it is great to see them at the ground. I had a chat with Geoff Merrick, Tom Ritchie and Gerry Sweeney a week or two ago. All of them such lovely blokes. Just to chat to anyone about memories from 40 odd years ago is great but to chat to people you idolised about memories they were creating for you was priceless. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping ...if it's got front and back sponsor, arm badges, name and number etc then apart from the badge and round neck, and obvious pinstripe it won't look much different to what we already have. I’d be surprised if not. I assume they all pay us quite a lot of money for playing with their names on our shirts. Unless we’re going to refund 5% of the money they pay us? Don’t disagree with your view on the paraphernalia on shirts nowadays, but that’s what pays the bills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These photos put a big smile on my face, some great memories, and made me think how much my late father would have approved.

Merrick's Marvels Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 (edited) 1 hour ago, Supersonic Robin said: Call me a a grumpy b*stard, but this is so f****** tinpot Not when it's set in context, ie if you explain Britain in the 1970s, how football was regarded then, how good Leeds were, what sort of news made it on to the front pages of the newspapers (what newspapers are) etc etc Football was strictly for the back pages. It was played almost exclusively on Saturdays at 3pm. Footballers were not celebrities. In other words, the good old days. Leeds hadn't lost a single game all season and were one of the best sides in Europe. The FA Cup was a proper competition. There was massive political, economic and social unrest at that time - yet serious people, running serious media organisations decided news of Bristol City's victory trumped all that - and lo, there was Donnie, on the front page. That's how big a news story it was. Inevitably, all that gets lost over the passage of time.

W-S-M Seagull Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 36 minutes ago, ChippenhamRed said: There’s a lesson there. So, already sold out online. Is there ANY hope of us actually getting another batch in?! We are so hopeless at stock management and anticipating level of demand. Sorry - two separate posts really, they got merged! When we switched go o'neills I remember JL saying that one of the benefits of the partnership is that because they are based in the UK it means there can be a quick turnaround on orders. I don't know how long it takes to produce a batch of shirts but once done they can get here quite quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Why do they do this? I don’t get it. Pretty much all of us have access to the internet, but lots of us don’t live anywhere near BS3.

Harry Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Well. At least it’s better than that horrendous monstrosity they came up with for the 125 year anniversary. No surprise that we wore that sickening kit in the last game before covid struck - it was clearly enough to make the whole bloody world sick!! 4 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCRED Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 JL and others within the club have received a lot criticism over the last 2-3 months but this is a masterclass although selling out so soon isn’t great In addition, the LM appointment appears to be a shrewd decision now and very few dissenting voices 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrob Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 1 hour ago, DolmanGaz said: nice kit, but wearing a commemorative kit for a league game, to celebrate a 5th round FA cup tie almost 50 years ago is beyond tinpot... if we'd won the cup, fine.

When you look at the retro shirt market, I'd say it was very much sought after. Far from boring. Same can be said for retro clothing and trainers etc. The market is huge..

Restrict stock for a while and build up appetite then release to the masses It's bullshit business stuff but it works occasionally like Prime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
