Thought they announced sometime ago the shirts would be available on the Open Day? But they certainly said on Thursday shirts could be bought on Monday before changing their mind yesterday.
Pretty sure the advertising is being run by Macron as it looks similar to the one they've run for Bolton this summer. I wonder if they have an eye on naming the UWE the Macron Stadium like Bolton's?

Was it really, I can't see many fans finding £40+ to buy a new shirt just because the club dragged it out over a month, it's hardly like the build up to a new iPhone etc being released. Plus if your going to go down this marketing path don't you want to make sure you can deliver the product on Day 1? Have they ever announced this date ? According to ITK's within the club, the only promise made by Macron was that the kit would be available by the first game of the season.
I never got to the bottom of "did that promise include the kit for supporters to purchase?"

Heading back to Hong Kong on Saturday after holiday and not back until Christmas. Anyone reckon there's any danger of getting a shirt before I leave?! Aren't the club offering free postage if you order one at tomorrow's Open Day, not seen anything to suggest it's restricted to UK deliveries? The Club Shop at The Memorial Stadium will be open from midday on Monday and will close at 5.00pm. Samples of the new shirt will be on display and the pre-order discounted prices will be as follows; (Adult sizes £40.00, Juvenile sizes £30.00). If supporters would like their shirts posted to them on arrival, this will be done free of charge.

Thanks, but it's pretty expensive to ship over to Hong Kong due to customs duties etc, so I imagine that they won't.

To be fair to the club not having kits for the fun day this year is excusable because of the new manufacturing deal.
Last time with no kits for Wembley/fun day was a joke considering we'd been using Errea for years!

Maybe the new owners have been taken by surprise, what the new season starting at completely different time this year...

With the contradictory statements re the fun day it seems very likely that macron missed a deadline, or there was an unexpected delay. I applaud the club for offering free postage for those ordering the shirts at the fun day. The right thing to do, given that they had advertised that they would be available on the day.

Or somebody at the club simply never checked with Macron when delivery was expected (See Severnciders post above)?

Shirtgate thread number 2015x
Guys it's beyond our control, I would suggest gasoline himself contacts/visits the clubshop to find out. Turning another thread into a bleat about non-availability doesn't help anybody.
Now whats happening to the new stadium/signings et al?
