JD Sports stock them too. £1 extra.



yes but the club do not then get the profit..which i think is Tontegs point...

I don’t think he has a point. Just likes to moan an let us all know how shit Cardiff City are as a football club.

When you compare life or death situations too having to wait a week or two for a tshirt you need to have a word with yourself.

I can almost guarantee you as well that if we had bought plenty of stock of all the sizes in of the new kit and had some left over at the end of the season he’d be the first person on here to complain about how ridiculous it is that the club are wasting money over stocking shirts.

Some people were just put on this earth to walk around and act like Victor Meldrew



no its not life or death...
its a football messageboard not the emergency services switchboard..where a poster thinks the club have missed out on a bit of a bonanza..
he gives a shit....then enter the meldrews {~correct } to moan their tits off about someone because he cares..

What’s running a business got to do with us selling a record amount of shirts.

Or would you of predicted this with your amazing business skills and ordered the exact amount of stock needed and made sure that we wouldn’t of been left with a huge amount of overstock at the end of the season that you couldn’t shift and lost money on?

Because the club could of easily predicted that we would sell a record amount of shirts at the start of the season couldn’t they?

It's a shambles because it's clearly a distinct lack of planning and organisation on the prediction of future sales.

If you was a patient in a hospital and the department said they don't have your treatment in stock because they have run out, meaning your health and life would be put at risk, would you think that department are doing their job well?


Ross, all a bit harsh there, surely? :?

The club estimated shirt sales (possibly based on previous seasons plus an expected uptake) and bought accordingly. The fans came, they saw, they liked and they bought...early!

Club sells out, orders more to meet increased demand and those who delayed their purchase have to wait a little...

Exciting season ahead for the Bluebirds and people want to show their association. It's not been like that for some years and (all joking about bandwagon jumpers apart) I'm actually happy to see it...

Hopefully, you'll get one before the season starts and all will be good in the world :thumbright: :ayatollah:


I'm not bothered if I get my shirt before the season starts, I'm bothered about how amateurish this is. I doubt any other Premiership club has ever run out of shirts to this extent and let's be honest, this isn't the first time something like this has happened at the club.

I've said how positive it is shirts are selling, but the club clearly haven't planned ahead properly. Early indications showed the kit would be popular before the kit launch weekend. We are now back in the Premiership. There is the feel good factor with promotion and Warnock bringing the club back together. Season ticket sales have gone through the roof. It was pretty obvious we would sell a lot more shirts than previous seasons.

I'm stunned the club haven't played safe and ordered more than enough not to run out. The club could have easily slashed the price of the shirts later in the season to sell off any leftovers. I find it totally incredible to be honest.


Do you still doubt any other premiership club has ever run out to this extent?

is it a record?
lets be honest, it should be a record by some margin..first prem season in blue and by adidas..
pretty sure if it were a record it would have been announced as the first day sales record was.
