All this hand wringing and mock outrage that we have somehow lost the quarters.
We have never played in quarters as the 'lower quarters' have always been larger than the 'upper quarters'.
Storm in a teacup.

Thanks for posting that pic. Couldn't make the open day today to see it in the flesh. That looks decent, I really like the collar and the twist on the design of the quarters makes it look really distinctive. I don't usually buy a shirt for myself, normally just get one for my lad each year but I'm actually thinking I might get one!

I have no idea! Must be worth something though. It has a value. It's revenue we weren't expecting this season, and didn't have last (a 3rd kit). Nice opportunities bringing in funds.. you said it was record breaking so I presumed the figure had been released. Or had the club just said it’s record breaking? Sorry not being an arse just haven’t seen that mentioned. On a side note I saw a couple of guys wearing the away strip today and it looks alright. I reckon it will take a cider stain but gravy maybe a stretch! Again, it's the rhetoric from the club, I am in no way qualified to present figures. The club have has a mass injection from Football index, that's what I take to be record breaking....the 1883 members still are contributing, maybe not so much in numbers, but the club has definitely drawn a huge income, and have introduced a networking system Darrell helped speak on, MintBet backed up our shirt sponsor and our third kit brings in extra resource. Apologies for not backing up with hard evidence of specific figures. Does anyone think this is a rag bag rovers now? This is a Bristol Rovers to be proud of. As it was always so.

It now looks a decent leisure shirt in that photo, think I might be finally tempted to ditch my "Cowling" top for a new shirt given that the price seems fairly reasonable for a replica shirt. Do you really think that £39 is reasonable for a bit of polyester that costs about 50p to produce in some third world country? I know it's cheaper than many other clubs, and it's not an issue I'm blaming our club for specifically, but the cost of replica shirts is outrageous to me. I can't believe people actually buy them each season. But they do, and so long as they do, the manufacturers will exploit the cheap labour available in Indonesia or wherever and rip off the clubs, and the clubs will then rip off the fans.

Most of the away kit stock has just been sold off in the £10 sale. I know coz it was all I could afford / get for the kids & also my bro got one. I've also seen the sizes selling out on net. So not totally sure why that happened or what benefit it was. Are we now ordering more stock?

No sign of Ellis modelling the new kit - must mean he's off. Trolololol Maybe this has set a precedent?

I wish people would stop slagging off our promotion kit! Yes, remember how different the 2006/7 one was 😉😉

I can remember a story in the late 90s about two Newcastle directors boasting about "ripping off" fans who paid £50 for replica shirts that cost £5 to make.

Happy days, online orders will get their home shirts on Tuesday! Don't have to wait till the first home game! Yay!! Assuming your not just being sarcastic that just refers to orders being taken, there's no indication when they'll be delivered. You assumed right. I got too excited and miss read the tweet!

Welcome to the real world ! Do you think that a loaf of bread (£1.00-£1.25) costs that much to make ? Try 9p to 15p per loaf to produce Thats the world my friend in what we live in !
