millsy82 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 They listened to the fans Hopefully they will raise a lot more money now then they previously would have done. 2000 shirts with £10 going to charity is £20 grand which is a very good start.

You think we'll sell 2,000 shirts?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millsy82 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 You think we'll sell 2,000 shirts?!?! Yeah, why not? The ladies will most likely get in on the act as well as the blokes. A hardcore fan base of 4000ish (turn up whatever) and then probably around another 4-6000 fair weather fans (turn up when it suits/live miles away (myself included)). So I see no reason why we couldn't sell around 2000 shirts. Plus with it being for charity and a limited edition shirt it makes it even more collectable. I'm glad they are only taking pre-orders though. It would be a shame if we bought a load in and had surplus stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you take your (exaggerated in my view) number of potential customers.... 2000 shirts 4000 hardcore 6000 fair weather 2000 shirts shared by 10000 people would mean that 20% of these people would have a Limited Edition shirt that is every fifth person! BTW, there is no way they'll sell that many Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, there is no way they'll sell that many Yes it is a limited edition. Why? Because only a limited number will be made, thus making it a limited edition. I didn't think that would have been hard to grasp. Who's to say that 1 in 5 people (oh and now they have kids shirts as well, so that means I'll get one for me the wife and my daughter) won't buy one. This kit has had a lot of positive feedback for the club and has made news all over the world (New York Times). Even my mum said it would be a nice way of donating some money to charity and she doesn't even like football. When Hudderfield had a pink shirt a few season ago they sold out and had to make extra. Because it is different it caputres peoples imagination and they will want to buy it. Its not like this kit is just another kit, it is a one off and never to be worn again and something that will go down in the history of our club. For all those reason I would expect us to sell around about 2000 shirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing tonight would have an effect on the sales as would winning. So for charity's sake I think Leeds should roll over for us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad that there has been a lot of profile around this and that people want to buy them. I am not one of those people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millsy82 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) If they sold 2000 and still had demand then they'd make more so they could make more money for charity. I am glad that there has been a lot of profile around this and that people want to buy them. I am not one of those people. Yes if 2000 people bought a shirt and more wanted one they would make more. But they are making them to order. This is the reason it is a limited edition. They are not making 5000 shirts in the hope that they will sell all of them and being left with surplus stock. Every shirt made will have an owner. There has to be a cut off point with the chairty, they can't be giving cheques for £10 here and £30 there in 18 months time. All the money will likely be donated in a few months in a one off payment. After that there would be no need to make any more pink shirts ever again. Edit: It would also seem that even Leeds fans appreciate what our club is trying to achieve. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/F12777517?thr...588&show=50 Edited March 2, 2009 by millsy82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
