| Am shocked at the lack of new gear! What are they doing? They are losing out on a lot of money at xmas. Very disappointed here. | |

| I tried to buy 2 fleeces in adult sizes for Christmas presents, but NONE were available in either shop. As far as I remember there were no sweatshirts/jackets/coats either. Wouldn't these winter items have been good to have in the shops for Christmas? It's not as if the design changes year by year...just claret with the club badge, and they'd sell every year ....or am I expecting too much? | |

| Each year leading up to Christmas I go in the club shops for ideas for presents and come out disappointed or at best with a mouse mat. It is an area the club need to improve on, yet it is better than it was, not saying much though. If we have ambitions of being as big as the likes of Leeds then we need to act like it in as many ways as possible. The club have lost out on revenue due to not getting merchandise out early enough, not having enough to choose from or even not properly stocking familiar items and the sad thing is they do this nearly every year. | |

I think this is a lot of the problem 2 shops and because there is a lot more town merchandise it takes over (or appears to) leaving less room for any new Giants lines they may be looking at. Maybe the answer is one of the shops sells town merchandise with a minimal Giants stock (as both shops are now)and the other shop is primarily a Giants superstore with a lot more lines in (If anybody from the club shop is reading this go scout other club shops you can get nearly anything in a clubs colours these days)that has a minimal town section | |

| I was in the town shop the other week when a couple came in looking at Town gear...they said they were disappointed with the range!!!
If they feel that way with the 3/4 of a shop space they take up then how must they think we feel!
I agree this year our shop has been very sparce of gift ideas. I ended up buying Eorl Testimonial Merchandise as presents instead. | |

| Yes this is a gripe with Town fans as well even though their range covers more of the shops which in their narrow mindedness is catered for the larger and more money generating following.
I agree though that the giants merchandise is pathetic, I didn't even bother with the shop for christmas presents and remember with the Wembley appearance there was nothing other than t shirts and overpriced flags.
The thing is both clubs are reluctant to bring in merchandise as they are uncertain what will be popular so don't want to make the initial outlay if they may not sell. | |

| Perhaps the clubs ought to do a survey of fans asking them what items they would buy and /or like to see for sale, at least that way they could cater for the masses?? Just a thought. | |

| i can understand the club not wanting to risknew items and making a loss, but to delay selling stuff like away shirts is just stupid, or is it just to prove that the new home shirt is so popular because it has sold well.. but people have had to buy the home shirt rather than the away shirt so sales would automaticall be higher because of lack of choice?
i havnt received them yet, but the players training vests from last season would sell great in the summmer, people going abroad would buy them to wear on beach and as they are only vests they would not cost too much | |
