I asked 'the club'...
Long Sleeved top
Why do we always have top wait until months and months into the season before the long sleeved top goes on sale? Nigh on every other club sells it at the same time. We never ever seem to learn and it just cannot help but put doubts into fans minds that the decisions being made on a commercial aspect are often poor - plus the excuses that are offered are so half baked, it's insulting.

Much has been debated about the replica shirts on these pages, and the reasons why there has been a delay in delivery of the short-sleeved shirts. Much of this does arise from the sponsorship renewal being finalised so close to the start of the season; obviously the knock effect is that because the short-sleeved shirts are priority; long-sleeved versions go the back of the queue.
Skint have now signed for two years: this should hopefully help the release of a new away shirt for next season.
As to delivery of long-sleeved shirts (and ladies) the club's commercial department have asked Errea to confirm when they can deliver these, but are awaiting a response.
I tried to respond but it wont let you...
I have to say this is not a good enough excuse - the obvious question is WHY do we leave it so late to finalise our sponsorship
Every other club does it early, so why can't we!?
