Quote uglybug="uglybug"Having looked again at both the on-line store and the available products over the last few years, I remain convinced that Wigan RL have no idea on how to market the club's merchandise. How many will sell and in what sizes? I dont know and I'm sure the club are clueless. 600 shirts only and at least 8 sizes? So, if like me you try to ring up what chances of a Large shirt; next to zero. Well thats another £10 towards charity, plus charity aid they wont receive. Why oh why dont they allow pre-payment and pre ordering, then they will know how many and what sizes they need to produce. Result, the fans get what they want, in the sizes they want them and theres no shirts left to put in the sale box. Maximise costs and keep the fans happy? Not a chance!'"
I have been contacted by the marketing department at the club who have taken notice of the post I made above. I now stand corrected in and wanted to point out to others that I accept the club have worked very hard in getting the shirts approved through the team sponsors, having them produced and shipped and that the total amount is based of the amount and sizes of the shirts sold for Seans testamonial.
I'm also a little shocked, but heartened, that the club staff take notice of what fans write on these forums.
