THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR) :: View topic

Can the club not at least try and pretend that they still give a fuck?

I've always tried my hardest to defend Winkelman and the club when it comes to the commercial side and the attempts to grow the fanbase and income, probably due to Stockholm Syndrome. However, I've really struggled to justify the majority of the overall decisions made for the footballing side of the business over the last 18-24 months.

In a 4th vs 3rd crunch game at the end of the season, allowing our kit provider to sell away shirts at our ground is beyond defensible.

Answers are needed, otherwise jobs should be at risk.

FFS… add to that, big crowd but only one of the bars open in the Cowshed bar. And the bogs at gate 6 still have the posters promoting Christmas dinners. Lots of big things and many more small things point to this club being fucked off the field.

Agree with this. For all the problems we've got, on and off the pitch and definitely with Castore, I don't think this is one of them.

Personally I couldn't care less if they're trying to sell opposition shirts. I don't either wear replica strips or indeed go to the away end. So they can do what they want. However. It's not a good look for the club,, especially when you consider all the other not good looks we've had over the last couple of seasons. But it is what it is. The club would appear to be completely tone deaf to supporters.

The club handed over all running of the club shop to Castore. I don't get what input they could do even if they wanted to. Furthermore, are you surprised with Castore. This is a company that spent more shelf space just before Christmas selling their own training kit rather than our training kit. Anyway I got a mug out of it, which is what I wanted since the handle fell off my old one last season.
