Dull, badly designed. Like a Coldplay cover version of Merch Labs merch, and therefore inherently worse than Merch Labs merch.

I think one of the key takeaways is that while the club were banning the trust from selling anything other than mugs on the corner, they were inviting Irish iron in to sell all their merch in the iron bar…

Just seems to me that the supporters clubs that have supported the club are not being treated fairly or equal…

Short memory’s…

Are you copyrighting any of these designs to ensure there’s no reproductions by other sellers?

No, end of the day we are working with the Trust to raise money for the club, and we believe if the fans want Merch they are most likely gonna buy via the Club or the Trust and 9 times out of 10 we produce items cheaper than the likes of Sellers on Etsy…

Thats why you will never see us do any of these two things:
1) Sell an identical product to the Club Shop.
2) Use the official current club badge (The Iron one not the 125)

We are not here to take sales away from the club, but either way the money will end up in the clubs pocket.

After everything that has happened, we are still wanting to support the community, even if that’s via the Trust, Bru or even what we are doing in connection with the Weekender. The Club are a key aspect of the community and we all need to help support it in its journey to sustainability.

It’s one that we had been working on and off for a while :)
The Subbuteo one is in progress, it’s a time-consuming one! So it might be a week or two

That Subbuteo is actually class…
End of the day we want to give fans what they want, and frankly we don’t want to be remembered for tat haha

Im open to suggestions…

I can only speak on behalf of the Merch Labs, but we are charging to produce the merch, the same cost the club and any of the businesses that come to us would get.

And we also get the gateway fee, which partially covers the card fees and fulfilment.

Nearly went a full week without a sideshow; feel sorry for Andy and the players who must be wondering what else is around the corner.

It’s the timing the board chooses to make these decisions which is the sickener, why couldn’t Goat/Merch labs be given the boot at the end of the year? Why was the FC100000 planned to be announced 6 weeks before the season end? Why has a festival been announced with 3 month notice ?

Some odd decisions/timings and all doesn’t appear well.

Yet, they manage to run their own businesses.
Why do they collectively appear to be so naive & incompetent running a FC?

Well they aren’t the first people in football club history to do that are they TBF, not exactly unique to our club is it?

No, but that doesn’t make it any better.

Historically the online shop is more active during a match, that being said we didn’t want people wondering what was going on and a influx of messages about the site not being live, also we had been seen by a large number of people loading vehicles up as we cleared the office.

We spoke to a number of people at the club regarding us putting a statement out on Friday afternoon, no one at the club objected.

If they had, and asked us to hold off till say Monday, we would have done so out of respect to the members of staff at the club that we still have a good relationship with
