The owner is part of the problem why we are mid table. He funds us and without question we probably would not exist without him but we are in the position we are in because he wont ask for help or take the advice of people with more knowledge regarding coaching, staff and players. It would seem his heart rules his head and that could be where the problem lies, he is an extremely intelligent and a very personable, likeable guy who has been very successful in his professional life and very blinked in his broncos life.

The lack of available merchandise on the site shop is the least of out problems Pete, but if you think a fan not being able to buy a shirt on-line is more important than other stuff like crap attendances, no funding model other than the owner and being a mid table championship team that gets beaten by part timers, then go for it

Err, given that I was trying to spend nearly 200 quid all told, at £20 a pop, thats equivelent to 10 bums on seats!So the internet/telesales are just as important

And the last game you attended, GF???

Just tried to buy my new top for the game, sold out M, so tried XL got told they'd sold out whilst I was completing the transaction, the XXL same again, then S, then youths, all sold out as I was waiting......Blimey I thought, we're popular. So I thought I'd buy last seasons away kit, they're in stock and I've only EVER seen about five people wearing it.

Guess what? They ALL SOLD OUT whislt I was waiting. So I have given up, clearly the club simply hasn't ordered enough, or has a shee-ite on-line service which doesn't update itself, either way once again, proof positive that those at the club don't give two 'effs about us! So I WON'T bother on Saturday as they can't be bothered with ME!!!!!!!!!

Yes, the fact that you've had problems buying a top is absolute concrete evidence that the club doesn't care about it's fans (then again, it could be personal...they're not letting you have a shirt as you didn't attend games for 8 years because of our involvement with a big, nasty RU club!).

Tell you what, you can have one of my 20 or so shirts with the pastel quarters.

20?? Did you buy 4 or 5 a season?

Re: Halifax : Fri Mar 27, 2015 1:41 pm  

Err that would be six seasons and I already have two of the quartered shirts thank you very much and believe it or not I even have a Quins RL shirt to boot (the missus bought it not realising my feelings on the subject, lmao). To be fair, at least Quins were prepared to sell us a shirt, lol!

Believe it or not, we were there for 8 seasons (2006 -2013).

Yeah, I bought all the shirts and loads of t-shirts and stuff too (Quins RL even had stuff specifically for women...vests and polo tops etc).
Anyhoo,worked out well for me as I wear them to Quins games (and I've not been abused or slung out yet....although there is still time)

Amazing how time flies even when you ain't enjoying yourself!

Dan, you're clearly not trying hard enough!!

Re: Halifax : Fri Mar 27, 2015 5:23 pm  

The id-merger was for six seasons, we actually played there more than 8 seasons, in seperate stints. Are you actually a fan or just another one who trolls through the Net looking for others to have a go at.
