real Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Didn’t Huddersfield release a pink kit to buy with the proceeds going to charity (either this season or last) although i dont think they ever played in it! Bristol Rovers had one. Not sure if they wore it for a charity game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millsy82 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Didn't Spurs play in a home kit which was half blue and half white for an anniversary game last year. I don't think that got registered at the start of the season, and I don't think the rules have changed since Man U introduced their third kit (yellow and green one) halfway through a season once in the 90s. Plus, haven't us (and probably some other teams as well) played in third kits which have only been needed due to a cup game so I would wager the kit wasn't registered at the start of the season then. I like the pink kit idea but then again I had the idea as our 'permanent' away kit a few months back. Also the anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster last season. Both M*nch*st*r clubs wore the old fashioned shirts to commemerate the anniversary of the event, did they the authoroties approve this before the season started or whe they was told to by United?

Guest sheridans_world Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Just by the way, didnt Huddersfield have a pink kit? Thus breaking the 'breaking new ground' clause.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yard Dog Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Personally I hope they've agreed with the football league to test safe standing when they build the new Broadway stand, however this is highly unlikely! God knows what it is but I imagine it won't be as good as we all think. I'm with you fella, bollocks to these shiny, soulless, characterless, clone-like plastic stadiums........let's get a jock-off standing terrace back at Latics and start enjoying watching football again...that'll do more to get the crowds back than any discount ST initiative.

Guest sheridans_world Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Yeah, standing is a good shout, apart from the fact it already exists. Totally think its a good idea though, but it doesnt make history....... Puzzled... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally think its a good idea though, but it doesnt make history....... Puzzled... There's still the old style of terracing but 'Safe Standing' is new and is currently being used successfully in Germany. There's no chance of the old terracing coming back but the modern terracing is a must for future development in football stadia. I would be very impressed with the FA and football league if they agreed to a trial but I just can't see them making an effort to bring it back.

jsslatic Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Bristol Rovers had one. Not sure if they wore it for a charity game. They announced it as an April Fool, and when all the fans said they actually liked it, it was chosen as their third strip. IIRC they wanted to wear it at Shrewsbury away a couple of seasons back, but there was some kerfuffle with them wanting to wear pink and people complaining it was offensive as it was at Gay Meadow and like they were taking the pish. Just writing that out, I'm not sure where I've got it from or if it's even correct. Will google and see what I can find. In fact, it does seem like a load of tosh...

Soccer AM did a piece on it a couple of seasons ago, but I'm sure the problem was that if you sell a kit it has to be played in a certain number of times.

ste1987 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Is it to play with a pink ball to be auctioned off for charidee? Good shout. Or, maybe something technology trial based whereby "treading on new ground" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticsrblue Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 First club to have a charity as sponsor but still charge them for the privelege? Mr Moore already did this. I reckon it's the tie up with the Hungarian club. Prem clubs have deals with foreign clubs, but probably no league clubs do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
