So can I assume that since I haven't paid a printing fee that I won't have a Brownings logo on the front and the KilmarnockPie.com on the back on my pre-ordered kits? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chardee MacDennis Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Is it just me that wonders why anyone would pay 1p let alone £3 to advertise a company? Edited July 29, 2020 by Chardee MacDennis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lroy Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Players shirts having different amounts of sponsors to supporters shirts isn't something unusual in other parts of the world. England introduced sleeve sponsors a few years ago now, but I can't recall any club charging to have them on the shirt. A clever move on our part perhaps to earn £3 here and there when income is so important. Re: facetious KilmarnockPie.com comments. That comes on the shirt direct from Hummel. The GasSafe logo is added in the shop on purchase. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1981 Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Let's be realistic....its £3, not £30 the club have said the cost will be. Plenty of folk on a daily basis waste £3 on pointless stuff like takeaway coffee. If you don't want it, don't pay for it but it improves the strip and gives the club some extra cash. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen fair enough, I’m not disputing that one bit. My issue is, and has always been the manner in which information like that is conveyed. I appreciate that the club isn’t a huge retail giant so things will naturally move a bit slower. But it’s like you’re asking for the answer to the secrets of the universe when you ask basic questions at times. Folk want to spend their money and at times it’s as if they don’t want to take it. It’s not a personal slant on any of them who work in the shop but surely there must be questions asked by fans so that the whole experience can be a more enjoyable one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're clearly more "in the know" about stock management at the club shop than me, given that you know things "for a fact". But I might content that its sensible to do what the club have in seeking air freight delivery of the most popular sizes to try and expedite delivery, given the pandemic, its not unreasonable to not know exactly when deliveries might arrive. Describing it as a total disaster is unfair in my opinion Fair enough, that’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it. As I am mine. ✌️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Customers will be able to select whether they would like to collect from the shop or have these delivered to their home address. Tuesday / Wednesday of next week is.....oh wait, precisely what is in the information provided by the club about the pre-order. I've been critical of the club myself in the past, But i don't see any reason to be critical of them in this case Again, that’s fair enough. No need to start lighting the fires and looking out the pitchforks here. I commented on my experience today and for many years previous. I, like everyone else will give credit where it’s due when it’s due. But every single time you ask a question it’s met with either a snarky reply or a blank expression. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I also recognise that being asked the same question numerous times per day gets annoying and frustrating, particularly when you don't know anything more that the information also put out there by the club on their website. As came up on the other thread about the shop closing 2 mins before the listed closing time, people in retail jobs are expected to deal with this kind of thing, the club could and should do better, but perhaps a bit more understanding from us is needed as well. It is lovely. Fair enough on all points. Appreciate that retail workers get a raw deal at times and especially just now. No offence meant during this exchange.
