Having just read that Man Utd sold 3 million+ shirts last season just made me wonder how many pools shirts have sold.

They have sold out of home shirts twice already (fortunately me and my lad got ours second time around). just curious as to how many they get per order.

Don't normally get one.
But got the away shirt last week to go towards the.
Save The Dave Fund.

I imagine they can’t of sold many because they can’t manage to order enough to meet the demands.
Still not available online.

on top of promotion and a decent shirt coming out it was obvious to me that pools would sell more than usual. even in bad times they never order enough as this sell out always seems to happen. they will order more but again not enough of the popular sizes with all the smaller ones remaining unsold.

I don’t really understand how we have run out of shirts, again. The only reason I think that is justifiable is if it was an issue with the supply chain, but I’m pretty sure one of the prerequisites when we were looking for a new supplier a couple of years ago was manufacturing the UK.

We have years and years and years of data that can give us an accurate projection of shirt sales, coupled with O’Neill’s, who work with a similar sized team in Wycombe. I’ve worked for a couple of companies who supplied shirts to teams in the top five divisions in England and I don’t recall any of them ever selling out before the season even started. And still no sign of the online shop being updated…

How many shirts did Man U sell in Manchester...?
It’s a mega global label for wannabe’s who have never smelt wet grass in their lives.

Why compare Pools shifty sales to Man U by the way, it has no relevance to Pools running out and you did eventually get one. We ran out of shirts under most previous Chairman, what’s new?

At what point did I compare Pools to Man U? I raised a post after reading about the number of shirt sales last year.

Where have I said anything about never running out of shirts previously?

As usual you take a post out of context and try and cause an issue. I joined this board years ago and then stopped posting as it turned into a breeding ground for the likes of you to have a go at anyone just for the sake of it.

a good few posters have left the board for the negativity and sniping, I gave it another try with renewed optimism after promotion.

Looks like things never change.

If we ran out of shirts under previous chairmen, what’s new? Surely the fact that they now know how many shirts we sell each year and what sizes sell best. after all this time they can get things organised. Three league games played and still no shirts on sale online. An absolute disgrace. No wonder the club is always short of money.

doubt a clubs chairman decides on the number of shirts ordered or matchday food types of stuff. there must be someone getting paid a wage to do this stocking up. they cannot use the excuse of an unprecidated demand for replica shirts after the end of the previous season and the popularity of the new kit. even a half wit would have known how many we sold last season and would have added a percentage extra for this. pools are not on their own though in this type of stuff as they are crying the poor tale. if a player does not do their job they are out. whoever is responsible for this yearly farce should step aside for someone who can do the job.

They went on sale and then sold out. You should have been quicker!

it shows the club still hasnt employed the correct staff for these type of things. Hence why the new CEO has to have the experience of running a football club and preferably not a bank or other institute where the money pours in like the pusdy bear tax avoidance scheme, sorry a mean charity night on the telly. If the new CEO has that credibility then the minor issues in the club will get sorted i would imagine

I dont think they went on sale online my friend. Being quick has fuck all to do with it

Why don’t they give the job to you. If you can see ALL the problems, you must know ALL the answers. Which I very much doubtl

Let’s apply a bit of logic instead of Mr Angry investigates. Without knowing the exact number of sales over the previous five seasons for example we can’t assume they are a fixed figure every year so therefore you anticipate your likely sales. Unless you can sell them back on a sale or return basis to the manufacturer ( unlikely for a club of our size) you do what any prudent business does and order in on batches so you don’t end up with surplus stock. A way of losing money.
You obviously know better so get in touch and tell em where they’re going wrong

Organising the sale of merch/tickets/hospitality is a skilled job but it's not exactly rocket science. Nor do you have to be a genius to work out when it's being done badly. You only have to compare it with the hundreds of other organisations out there who seem to manage it OK. That side of the club seems to shambolic right now. Whether you sympathise with the club or not, it's still a fact.

You are obviously talking out of your arse so I wont respond to your inane ramblings

Its hardly rocket science to be able to project how many shirts pools will sell each year, a bit of research probobly take all of two minutes, looking back over the last 5 years and also account for average attendances. Its simply not good enough no matter how much anyone wants to defend the value, its schoolboy stuff running out all the time.

So.....anyone who doesn’t share your shining world vision is ‘rambling’.
Awkward isn’t it when you can’t cobble together a counter argument.

If it’s so simple, explain this simple process to me from manufacture through projected sales to retail outlet. C’mon you said it’s simple.

99% of people on this board realise what a fowl up there has been over the stocking of replica kits. As in the past five years at least. But the hard of thinking person cannot get his head around this but continues to flap his gums and show his shortcomings

I can see all the problems as im probably alot more connected with the actual club than you. In terms of having all the Answers, ill stick to my 3 junior teams i run in which yes i do have ALL the answers for them.

Can you tell us all the difficulty in why a football club has such difficulties in ordering enough stock every single year without fail, when they should have all the facts and figures in front of them? They have a year to get next seasons right. Will they? Think we all know the answer to that even at this stage.

99% eh... who organised the poll?
When confronted with a scenario you don’t want to try to comprehend because it doesn’t ‘line up’ with your version of events you resort to the old appeal to reason...... you do realise people have different viewpoints to yours but it appears you can’t cope with it.
A few put downs of those you disapprove is always a last resort. Oh dear.

just randomly pick a few clubs at our level on their websites to see if they have sold out of replica shirts. tried 4 and they have all got theirs still for sale and online.

It is no use trying to talk sense to the old dinosaur. As my old granny used to say “Better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are an idiot rather than open it and prove without a shadow of doubt you are one”

They did - I managed to buy one online.

It's been a clucking disaster.

Ah , so it was you who was the lucky one! Well done!

got mine online too

although they did sell out around an hour after i got mine.

They obviously ordered adequate stocks of them. Again!

Still incapable of constructing an opposing point of view I see, but carry with the chuntering if it comforts you. there, there.

Go home Showy, your village is missing its idiot.

Aye, it's a yolk!!

I am ‘home’ so you’ll just have to get used to it .
Now, I never knew your Granny was Mark Twain ... I thought I recognised his little words of wisdom given to you.... my granny just told me to “bugger off”, but I never took any notice of her either.
