What do you expect from a club that prints Vanarama Conferance ko 12:15 on tickets, then corrects the kick off time on the general sale tickets but doesn't correct Conferance? Amateur isn't the word.

Maybe if you volunteer to work in the club shop for no money you could improve the system ? Please let us know how you handle the abuse little sh@ts that come in and blame you for everything

We should have celebrated the 25th anniversary of the 1990 Championship side.
Many of those still live in and around Bristol. Jones, Holloway, Penrice, Mehew, Saunders, Twentyman, Yates, Parkin, Willmott and feel sure White, McClean & Martyn would have loved to have come back. Missed a chance to get them together. It was suggested to BSS BRSC & Ian Holtby over the past 12 months.

As I said on another thread.... We can laugh ironically about it all day long BUT
These so called Guardians of our club are killing it with their incompetence !!

Ha ha Its laughable. But lets borrow money at a ridiculous rate of interest, its so much easier. Exactly. I thought that a director taking ownership of each area of operations was supposed to draw a line under the club being run like a 2nd rate Scouts' jumble sale.

Personally, I don't think the players deserve any new clobber until they've proven they're up to the task of getting promoted.

Even the flags have sold out!!! Not to worry, there will be stalls selling this type of stuff in the car park ready for coach boarding. (actually, the club spies will have seen this, so they may actually do it)

There was a flag seller on Filton Ave v fgr.
There will be loads of blue&white opportunist sellers around Wembley, but its a real shame no one had foresight to try to capitalise more. Make official money for the club.
At least the board non pro-activeness means they can't be accused of exploitation!

The problem we have Steve is that our shirts (the famous quarters) is not a "run of the mill" design like the Grimsby design. forget about the logo etc they are put on afterwards. I would like to bet the Grimsby's shirt was from stock and ours have to be made specially for us, hence the longer timescales. Now our "yellow" shirt is a standard design and is able to be produced and printed with a simple "Wembley 2015" logo quickly... That strikes me as a case of 'Can anyone think of an excuse to justify doing things in a half-arsed way, preferably with a hint of poor us?'. The things aren't hand sewn of a type of silk made only in a single mill in Nanjing with a four-month lead time, using a dye made from a rare berry only available in July: they're printed by a machine that already has the template. They're as easy to rattle off as Grimsby stripes - if we wanted to and were prepared to risk having a few left over.

Didn't the club say a few days ago that a selection of Wembley / play-off merchandise would be arriving in a couple of days?

Even the flags have sold out!!! My book is still in stock. SPECIAL WEMBLEY EDITION * as well! Perfect present for ... er... reading on the coach, and then... er...waving around above your head once you are in the stadium. It's just like wearing a brand new Kit, that unfortunately you cannot purchase at the moment. Get them whilst you can.
* The SPECIAL WEMBLEY EDITION is the same as the normal edition, but placed in a clear plastic bag, to help avoid beer spillages.

Wembley bag could double up as a barf bag on way home?! How about a signed copy especially for Wembley? !! The book, not the barf bag..

Now our "yellow" shirt is a standard design and is able to be produced and printed with a simple "Wembley 2015" logo quickly... I genuinely can't work out if this a piss-take / sarcasm. You honestly must be joking to suggest that just because Grimsby play in black & white stripes they just take their stock from any old where, as if their kit isn't unique, just like any modern kit is, with details changed each season. Look, it's simple. Fans like you and me can get away with a bit of light-hearted 'oh I don't want to mention Wembley until we get there' malarkey, but if you work for the club and /or are a Board Director in charge of that area, you need to be making contingency plans early in the season, especially a season like this where we've continuously been in the play-off slots (or briefly top) since November 2014. Of course you don't shout it around or think of it arrogantly, but you DO plan for what was always a pretty decent possibility.
