Why cant have shirt for mencap that supports people with learning differcults into work place. That just as worthy as breast cancer. There's millions of charities out there, the club have chosen a cancer charity to support for a season by donating kit sales. Great move from the club If you don't like it, just don't buy it and save your money for next years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B4, we all love you and appreciate the difficulties you have to go through. But the kit is for a very worthwhile cause, and we've got a 100% record in it so far. Let's try and keep it going. COYR.

Millenniumram Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 To be fair, I’m surprised Mel hasn’t thought of it as a way to raise some extra funds towards FFP. Maybe we should have a different shirt every week, with a different sponsor each time ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible to select every one. We should support this charity and the club. It's a cool shirt, very different. Not everyone will like it but at least it helps a good cause.

Van der MoodHoover Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 B4 - can always suggest a different charity for supporting learning difficulties next season. Even better if there's a local one in the Derby area. I'm a trustee of a Hampshire charity that supports disabled people into the workplace. So I know and agree with you that organisations providing that sort of support are a vital part of our civic society. I'd buy such a shirt if you proposed it to the club - but we should support all charities and I'll be getting my pink soon. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITSD Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I'd love our third kits every season to be charity themed, with a proportion of the sales going to the chosen charity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could consider not buying any kits and donating all the money saved to mencap instead. im lucky if I can get one kit every couple of seasons. I suggest you just be happy with the two youve already got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s probably the basis for another one of your really easy quiz questions. ”List the full names and DOBs of all eight trustees of the Hampshire-based charity that aims to help disabled people in the workplace”.

Then consider it’s raising awareness, funds for a worthy cause, and a lot of others like it. Pretend it’s a balloon and let it go mate, we’re not going to introduce a 4th kit just to keep you sweet. Please never let balloons go! Even for charity..... wildlife and domestic life can choke on them, and they can take centuries to decompose. Today is World Animal Day. ?

Well you'd get a point for correctly guessing there are 8........bravo! The usual standard of clue required would be something like " How many trustees (between 7 and 9) are on the Board of Yateley Industries for the Disabled?". And @richinspain would still moan at the difficulty.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best not do that then, it was just the nicest way I could think of saying for goodness sake we get that you don’t like pink and there won’t be a 4th shirt.

Serious point, kit sales must be through the floor at the moment - I'm not a replica kit kinda fan but I would assume the fact you don't have match day means that many won't see the need for one, or am I missing the point? So maybe instead of saying there will be money from the third kit (nice gesture but, honestly, feels a bit like it will actually result in a few hundred quid being donated - and, yes, I do get that the major benefit is exposure, not kit sales) it might have been nice to say that for this season we will contribute a donation from every shirt. Unless the whole thing is a bit of a ploy to get those (with some obvious exceptions) to buy yet another shirt. Surely not???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
