I'd love hummel to do our strips!

Pleased they never had those tracky tops in my size now. The club must of lost thousands because of this, maybe should of severed links at end of last season. They will have to act quickly if they want to recoup any losses by getting a new supplier, who has plenty of merchandise ready for supporters to purchase before Xmas. Feel sorry for anyone who bought stuff with BLK on it this season though. I bought a top, but imagine we will still be wearing it for rest of season.

I don’t imagine that Raj is overly impressed with the backhanders given to Coxberg.

Got some decent AVEC pools gear over the years.

They supply Bradford and they always look smart.

Get them on board

My thoughts exactly Is this Maguire up to the job ? This is a huge commercial own goal 6 weeks after the tacky new strips were released as he is basically saying the manufacturing company are useless so why would anyone bother buying one in the run up to Xmas. That in the same week when he picks a Fans Rep without consulting the fans and chooses someone who was up the arse of Duxbury and Coxall even when it was clear the club was being fleeced so all he has done now is reopen a load of old wounds that were healing anyway because of results on the pitch.

Think big, ADIDAS. I'm sure they would want to be associated with the National League champions in waiting.

I agree. He comes across well in his programme notes, but don't they all. A prerequisite of that job seems to be an MA in bullshit. I guess they were prepared to run with BLK, but BLK must of been that badly organised, failed to improve , that Pools had no option but to end contract. A criticism I have of Pools and it goes back 30 years, is that all they care about is shifting replica tops, there is very little else for an adult to spend their money on at the beginning of the season. What little they do have , they seem to order a couple of dozen in large or extra large and that's it , you are told we are getting more in, and you pop in every couple of weeks, the months pass by, the team are now bottom of the league, and you say to yourself, fook it, I'll keep my money in my pocket. I'm no business expert, but Its not rocket science, 75% of a club shops sales should be in the first quarter of the season. After that date the club shop at Pools is running on empty. They should bring the away strip out in May of the previous season, the home strip in July/August, then when everyone has bought a replica top, bring some decent casual wear out for adults who don't wear replica tops, cagouls, managers coats, polos, zipper tops etc and then every couple of months to keep the kettle boiling add something new to keep the tills ringing and justify the employment of the club shop staff.

FFS! I'll do the job if they want, unless the club want to give it to someone neutral :laugh:

Forest and Derby (and probably loads of other clubs) usually reveal the new season's strip at the start of April, and start selling it at the end of the season.

So they get loads of sales all through summer from people wanting one to wear on their holidays etc.

I wish Pools would start doing this.

horden · **Posted:** Sat Sep 08, 2018 9:08 am

They will one day, when everyone else starts selling their strips in January.

I'm sure we did that years ago, with the strip that looked like the Argentina strip, 1995 I think we drew with Mansfield last match of the season, not 100% sure though

Made me chuckle today, Nobles number 6 was hanging off after 25 minutes and the O from N ble came off, the stick bit of the 6 came off and was left with a 0 which then looked like his O from his name had slipped down, quality merch :laugh:

Well that's just typical of,'pools, a shameful away win with a clean sheet added to a problem with the strip, I think I'll park it all in and support Accrington

I was listening to Radio Tees and the commentator said " Nobles been in the wars, you can tell by the number hanging off the back of his strip ". First thing I thought was wars my arse, that's shoddy BLK strip. :laugh:
