Something tells me there's somebody new in the office

Now now, naughty boy.

Just an observation

Irrespective of who is the brains behind the idea, it is so very encouraging at last to see the Club tapping into the fans' high spirits and goodwill.

Just look at what the Bulls (cough / spit) did during their initial rise to the top, Bully soft toys, stickers, spare 4 x 4 wheel covers etc.. it was massive for them and I really hope we are heading the same way.

Good effort Mr Fax et al.

Just one further suggestion, how about looking into giving either a car sticker out with each shirt and possibly an offer on a 'Fax mug or keyrings etc. Anything to raise the profile is a good idea (and I wanna 'Fax mug for the office so can you put one aside for me when I bring my eldest down to get our bargain shirts?)

Very encouraging all round.

im afraid this deal is only for adult shirts

we only have some youth sizes left, and we feel the £20 that they cost is good value. any lower would result in no profit margin for the club whatsoever.

hope this helps

Brilliant idea Fax.
How about a bit of "out of the box" thinking though. Why not anybody with a B**lls shirt who comes to the club can get a new fax shirt? They can't keep their old B**lls shirt though. Bonfire night coming up!!
This will get the disaffected clowns from Shelf & Northowram back on side. You know the ones that only follow a team on the up!

oh well it was worth asking... he'll have t save up



i might just give him my old 1 that doesnt fit frm 2008 season

This a great offer and well done to the club. At warrington there were loads of old shirts on display, let's hope they come and get the new one.
Is the club just putting it out email? If some of our fans don't have email how will they know? We haven't had anything in the paper for the past week and I think it important to keep a profile in the local rag. I am sure it is something that should be in the paper, get a picture of some players with old shirts on and a write up highlighting what's going on. I have some old shirts, they won't fit frank thou and I'm sure if you ask around others will have some.

The idea bout the bulls that someone suggested is priceless.

I have Heath Cruckshanks shirt from the last Super League season! Huge on me . . . might fit Frank though!

Mr Fax: If you take up my suggestion ref the b**ls shirts, don't forget to put an ad in the T & A. They wouldn't think twice about putting the same thing in the Courier. Just wish the G**nts hadn't had such a good season.....

True, but rather them than [size=59:3fzo8va7B***s[/size
Absolutely

Can I make a suggestion?
I was in Leeds the other day and saw a Rhinos fan with a polo top which looked like a replica of the home shirt.
Looked good it had all the logos on and everything and I would buy one if we had one as it can be worn casual, gived people something to buy if they alreday have the shirt, how about it Malcolm?

I have had a look at the leeds online shop and its very good, all products available are all leeds logod and made by the same company that makes the shirt. This is the way to go when we open our new shop in the new stand, it will have some continuity.
Leeds have got it right and we can learn from the clubs that have a good off the field business. All clothing is and proparbly will be worn by the players at some point and thats all the supporter want, they see the players wearing it and therefore may be inclined to buy it. Its Team wear.

We have done the best we can with the limited shop that we have and they must be patted on the back, however we do need improve and hopefully with the new shop we can have a new start. Look and see what other clubs offer and do something similar.

I don't think the limited shop space is as much of a problem as the limited number of fans.

I think there may be a minimum order quantity that the suppliers will be asking for and if you want more than one style of shirt/jacket/vest/pole, that's when the problem of cashflow pops up.

IMO we aren't seen as a big enough club these days to be able to call the shots with the suppliers.

I was more referring to the lack of space, things cant displayed to the best or have space to walk around and therefore an uninspiring place where people tend not to look around to see whats new. I have to admit i have only been in the shop once and that was recently, due to getting my shirts for christmas, it just has never drawn me in.

I understand everything you said regarding min orders/cashflow etc... and it is a problem with every small retailer, having been involved in a small retail shop for the past 17 years.

We do need more supporters that may buy stuff from the shop, and with things that are happening with regard to the offers and season ticket sales maybe thing are looking up.

some small improvements to shop will help massively imo

The new shop location hopefully will allow more space for customers to 'shop'

The shop if promoted right (ie opening times and open more often) should also attract passing trade.

I know of many people who would buy gear but simply dont know where to go, and when?

Called in today and got my lads their shirts ready for getting the 2010 squad autographs on them.

Mike showed us some pictures that they had done to present to the players. They look like paintings of the players but are actually converted from photos Mike has taken during the season. Some are signed by the players and there is a large one with all the players depicted on it.

They looked really good and would be good chrissy presents to give to us keen fans. I think he was taking some up to Harveys to see if they could display them as well.

Just a thought Mike,if you read this, could the images be tranferred onto a t-shirt, I bet they would go down a storm.

Hi can someone tell me please what times the shop is open, or can i get a fax shirt from harveys. cheers

The shop is usually open on a Saturday morning 10-00 to 12-00 but you can get a shirt at Harveys.

If you call in at the office they are usually more than willing to open up the shop and help you out. The official time is 10 til 12 on Saturday mornings.

That'd be a great idea, with name and number on the back. I'd definitely have one!

Cheers for the info, i need one for friday (birthday present) so i'll try Harveys
