Season ticket holders (only) are being asked to vote on the design of next season's away stip. One is light with a sash, one is black with thin yellow vertical lines and the other is black with a broad yellow vertical strip.

All 3 are dreadful.
Of course, only people wealthy enough and with enough free time to commit to attending all home games are 'real supporters'.
Just another Gorringe f*** up.
Can't we just get rid of this clown already?

Where are the quarters? We should wear the quarters. Who decided to give the decision to ST holders only? Crap decision. Crap shirts.

So would only accepting votes from people already known to the club. But it seems that if you aren't a season ticket holder your opinion isn't important enough. Anyway, all 3 are horrible, so I don't care which one wins.

Anyway, all 3 are horrible, so I don't care which one wins. Blimey is it International Miserable Git Day today? I'll buck the trend - I like all 3 suggested kits! Mind you, my wife and I voted for different kits, so cancel each other out. Season ticket holders, for what it's worth, are the lifeblood of the club and basically keep it going through the summer months when there is little or no other revenue, so why not let them decide, after all, they will be most likely to attend away games as well as home games. Hopefully, the same voting system will apply when the home kit designs are revealed. Meanwhile, we're in for a boring no football weekend.....

There is no box for comments on the survey form, so it's take it or leave it, bring back Boycie's fans' forum. Survey's got to be done now so that the strip will be available for our third away fixture in 20/21.

No matter what the club does, someone will defend it, and we wonder why a club that takes 40,000+ to showpiece events is a yo-yo 3rd / 4th tier outfit. To address your specific point, yes, there are stated benefits to being a ST holder, this wasn't one of them. So, what ya gonna do, I know, let's exclude the majority of supporters rather than involve them, that'll inspire them to forge a closer relationship with the club. Another C for Gorringe, but that may well be revised down after the statement has been checked for splelling and grammal.

I suppose it is one way to stop 'outside forces' spamming votes for a horendous kit When I am asked by the Club for feedback / suggestions I always respond. I live 145 miles from the Memorial Stadium, so there is no way I can justify a season ticket as I can't get to enough games to make it worthwhile. The argument seems to be that if you aren't a ST holder you're not a 'proper' supporter and shouldn't have a voice. Do the Club really think that a poll of a wider fan-base would be "hi-jacked"? Do they really think sh*theads would be bothered to vote for the least attractive of three crap shirts?

Can't we just get rid of this clown already? If you can’t afford a couple hundred quid for a season ticket, you shouldn’t be allowed to vote, let alone vote for a kit😆

Can't we just get rid of this clown already? You just sound like an a$$. Well done TG on allowing paying fans a say on what kind of cr@p kit we wear next season in what could be potentially a Championship campaign. This guy is brilliant. Not only does he reward fans that stump their hard earned up in advance, he gives it a sense of worth by having a real say. Might not mean much to some, but for others it gives them a clear chance to express themselves. Fair play it's not everyone's cup of tea but: A positive move from the club. Another great move by TG, free pasties last month, cheap tickets for £10 opportunity to bring a friend this month. More positive moves from the club that form engagement, notably that under Higgs and Holtby were far from forthcoming. I see it as rewarding fans that are loyal. Some of the best customers rewarded by an appreciative TG representing small steps moving forward.....well done our club.

I don't get the clamour over this. For many years nobody outside the boardroom got any say whatsoever in the design of the kit anyway. So to allow season ticket holders to have some modest input as a reward for their loyalty doesn't exactly seem like they are now over-stepping the mark. I can't see anyone saying that being a season ticket holder makes you 'better' as a supporter than anyone else.
And yes, I can see the teds trying to hijack a public vote for what it's worth! Not that I imagine that has had any huge bearing on this decision at all. I mean lets face it the Dunderheads have plenty of their own s**t kit and leisurewear to worry about...

That's why there were no pasties, or any other hot food for that matter for sale at most games last month. He's clueless and so far out of his depth it's painful watching it being played out in public. You may like to show your appreciation by seeing him off from the stadium with a well earned round of applause as his car leaves the car park, you'll know which one it is, the doors fall off, the wheels are oval and the radiator explodes showering custard everywhere.

Roobarb!? Excellent.. Roobarb roobarb roobarb, roobarb roobarb rhubarb....the 70s brought back to life! And er, pastie gate is a catering manager issue, not TG. Did you know surplus eateries that couldn't be used were given away to the many homeless on our streets? Warm food delivered directly in cold environment to those sleeping rough after everyone had gone to their warm homes after match? Yep, clueless and out of depth...

I really can't see what the fuss is all about, it's just a kit FFS, and the club have allowed a few fans to have some input. Someone can have my vote if they want, I went to have a look and thought all 3 were grim, but then as long was we win while we are wearing the bloody thing, I couldn't give a monkeys toss.

Have a little sit down, get your story straight, decide if Gorringe is involved in any catering related decisions or not, when you've made a decision by all means pop back and have another go. I didn't know that the club were in the real estate business, but I have to say it's very generous, an eatery to each subway dweller. The homeless crisis solved in a stroke.
