a lot like the training gear, like bench coats, body warmers, polo shirts etc what could take us to 25k
I'd like to think that the club would be bringing out centenary merchandise in addition to the other items that they usually stock anyway, regardless of the campaign.
I think the crowdfunding initiative in general is a great idea, fair play to the club and in particular the commercial manager for trying something new - and at nearly £19k already it is working...…. but..... as most of the pledges so far are to pre-order shirts, is this really additional income for the club?
Its great for cashflow now, but unless people are buying shirts that ordinarily wouldn't have done so, when you look at the overall picture a large portion of the proceeds from this appeal will not represent additional funds for the club in the long-term IMO.
