You're joking right? You could buy all that in poundland and have change from a tenner for a greggs steak bake.

The only final specific merch is the t shirt, which can't be much worse or better than the fax one.

But it's all there in one swoop rather than trailing through Poundland (you wouldn't believe how hard it is to buy balloons just in red & white by the way!)

If you go to that new bakery next to Wilkinsons you can get two steak bakes for a £1. At Greggs they are £1.05 each.

OK so poundland sell blue and white scarves, wigs and hats, pom poms etc do they now, think your argument is flawed sorry.

Kids and children love this kind of stuff and its what gets them interested, we have a choice of a £45 shirt if you get lucky or a £13 t shirt thats it. Surely its a chance to get kids loving Fax and also make a few bob however small, oh and to showcase the club and fans on TV even more then we will do, just expected hats, flags, scarves, jeez forgot it's only a final though.

I'm sure the club has its hands full organising stuff, just seems a waste and a pity.

I agree Waddy-Fax, if the club want to see a sea of blue and white they need to help or tell everyone to go to the beach and have look there (though it is usually more of a brown colour).
Cheap tat is the order of the day and any profit is a profit.

The stuff they have is Tat and just plain Naff, The club have at least got the Special One off Final Shirt which is woirth keeping for future and holding onto, I got one of the One off player shirts from the Game with Batley at the beginining of the season, I will be getting one of these replica's too, they are worth keeping hold of, Unlike some tatty wig and hooter.

Well Done halifax for the X-blades shirts and the polo shirts, Some on here always moan the club don't do enough then when they do get polo shirts sorted and replica shirts etc you moan at the quality and would prefer to put the money into a National chain who sell tat thats made in china or Taiwan, not into the club pockets, do you think they have time in a month to get cheap tat merchandise that if didn't sell would sit in the store cupboards until next time we get to a final. Its dead money, they are getting stock that is and has sold out thus making profit without leaving money in stock sitting there.

Will always be Thurstons for me.

Re: NRC Final Shirt : Wed Jul 06, 2011 10:06 am  

Are the club bringing out any more final merchandise other than the t shirt and the final shirt?

Re: NRC Final Shirt : Wed Jul 06, 2011 10:10 am  

Faxhali sorry I disagree, so only those who can afford a £45 shirt can buy something purely for the final, hey its a great shirt I love it but im sure not everyone can afford that. We arent on about polo shirts or regular season stuff, its a 1 off final and im pretty sure you dont have to order thousands of each item. Kids love wigs, hats, scarves, pom poms stuff like that, think your being a bit blind tbh, its a 1 off special event, a final, surely offering items that the majority of fans can affors and to show their support of the fax is nt too much to ask. Also with regards to your do they have time in a month comment, if thats the case then stop getting to finals, this is all part of getting to a final, anticipation, celebration, if thats te case get more staff in, designate a membe rof staff the job of merchandise organiser, im sure we will all have a great time anyway but I just feel we missed an opportunity to do a bit more and make a few bob. Theres kids in my group im going with and they want hats, scarves, wigs, pom poms, flags etc, its hardly moaning is it, this helps in securing the future fax fans.

Look at Leighs attempt then ours, cant argue that case tbh. I'm sure the club will think oh we cant do owt right but its major thing I feel, a massive sea of blue and white, a carnival atmosphere, theres thousands of fax fans going, surely a lost opportunity to make a few bob and let the fax fans show off.
