I like the look of that. Need to hurry the new replica shirts up a bit though, it's already December tomorrow...

Nice top that.

Looks like Rawlo's going to be the biggest hooker in Rugby League history this season!

Doesn't look like Santa will be bringing the new shirt this
christmas does it....tried phoning the club. For an update
and guess what ..... No answer .....again.
Before anyone says
anything about paying staff etc don't bother , in my opinion
this is another money spinner down the pan.

Agree. The marketing of the club for years now has been poor and I personally can't see it getting better soon. Whilst I have always campaigned for a shop in the town, in all honesty what is the point if they never have stock to fill the shelves. I tried to buy gear last year and it never arrived. I've got a funny feeling it will be same again this season. The shop in the Arcade during Cougarmania 1 always had some stock for sale and videos on etc. Whilst I appreciate this shop is in it's infancy, it doesn't look much like a retail outlet, more an office space.

No shirts for Christmas is a missed opportunity. There may be a lack of paid staff at the club, but how many calls would the club receive on a daily basis. In the close season I can't imagine there would be a massive number. How hard would it be for days when the club has no staff at work to divert the number to Gary's?

Not sure what everyones thoughts are on this but I have been informed that the shop will eventually be stocked but it will only hold samples so in theory you will be able to go view the item and then order one

Re: New Replica shirt : Thu Dec 06, 2012 9:28 am  

That didn't work last year. The goods I ordered never arrived, whether the fault was with Pier or the Cougars I wouldn't like to say. If Raven are the new manufacturer maybe they will be able to get stock to the customer better than last year. I still can't understand why the club can't hold minimal stock and replenish according to demand. I understand they wouldn't want to order hundreds, but maybe the margins are that tight they cannot afford to do it?

Shirts will be available for Christmas. I believe that the club are planning a launch at sometime next week, and the shirts will be available to collect by Saturday 22nd at the latest.

Re: New Replica shirt : Sun Dec 09, 2012 8:10 pm  

The talk is of the kit launch rather than the home kit launch. There's also been no mention of an away kit. I'm wondering if this season's kit is predominantly green so that we can wear it against any other team home and away without clashing, thereby avoiding the costs involved in having a second kit. Can't think of anyone else who plays in green anyway. Not a bad idea I suppose if I'm barking up the right tree. I may of course be completely wrong!

Re: New Replica shirt : Tue Dec 11, 2012 4:31 pm  

Now that I have seen a picture of the new kit on Facebook, I really like it. I wasn't totally convinced by the design, but now I've seen the real thing my mind has changed. I like the training kit too. I'll aim to get one of each before the new season begins.
