Forgive me if I'm wrong but when the shirt deal was announced weren't we told then that there would be puma leisurewear in the shop aswell?

BDF shouldn't have to use their money then to stock shop, this merchandise should have been in the shop since deal was agreed and someone should have been making sure it was.

great idea

Stickers are cheap as [SwearFilter] to do too. No doubt at 50p a shot you could sell many of the designs above on a glossy A4 sheet chopped into 4. so 6x4 i guess, pack of 10 from puntland is er £1. I just did some for the kids rooms on an inkjet printer.

wont be waterproof mind.

You dont see enough comedy car stickers!! get on them "DONT FOLLOW ME........" :D

2 points Lisa. Firstly, for me this is exactly what the BDF should be spending on, speculating to accumulate.

Secondly, Puma will want cash up front for any stock - money we don't have atty the moment.

All the profits from the Canvass, badges etc will all go towards more stock in future, with different items from badges up to larger items. Eventually this should become self sustaining.

From a personal perspective, the club bought a lot of trophy merch which sold very well but we still had spare stock which we are still clearing through. As a result the shop had been a little stagnent through nobodies fault. This will change.

We were but as usual it comes down to £££££. As Peter says, Puma want ££££ up front ..... you dont need to be a mind reader to work out the rest.

Im guessing Martin Lewis leaving didn't help but all this sort of stuff should be in the shop (with the coming seasons shirts) at the start of July; thats when it will sell the best

Sorry call it naive but I thought the deal meant we didn't have to pay for stock up front.

The first batch of badges have arrived and are now available. If anyone wants one they will be available in the club shop and BDF shop from Saturday or can be ordered on here by sending me a PM.

Cost is £3 plus p&p (yet to be worked out) for those that need sending.

Sales today were great, with nearly half the badges sold.

I expect the remaining badges will go fairly quickly with them going on ebay tonight, get em whilst you can!
