At the recent supporters meeting the club admitted they had no cash available to fund any club shop restocking.
Last season they paid shopfitters 50K to build the stadium club shop , a shop that has now been handed over to Sale Sharks and is now stocked with their merchandise.
It's hard to initiate anything with the Winding Up Petition frozen the clubs bank account .

50 GRAND to fit out a shop?!

I'm in the wrong game...

So they aren't selling any merchandise or tickets and they owe money...

How do they expect to make up the shortfall?!

I'd guess that they can't sell tickets for games they may not be able to fulfil or the directors could end up in the cack

Why do London always seem to struggle to get a kit out in time? Your replica sales are probably the lowest in SL, it can't be that hard to have a small initial batch of stock in the shops pre-xmas?

Baffles me how some RL clubs shoot themselves in the foot like this. Hull have sold over 2,000 of the home shirt before Xmas, that's £94K income before even the friendlies have started, and of course many of those buyers will have picked up other merchandise from the shops while they were there.
