I suppose you could by it at the end of the season for £10 and know the Allams have made a loss on it ??
New kit...

I’m missing it but why aren’t people buying it??
Cos the allams are still here?
Same reason as me. No matter who the owners are I've stood firm.
Nasty, stinky, sweaty polyester. Besides, I think the new shirt is ****. Never buy one either. I did like the amber jersey with the two black horizontal chest hoops back in the sixties. I remember buying city stuff from a shop in town but the name eludes me. I think it started with A ... possibly Asbestos or something like that. Anyone remember?
On the corner opposite Dram shop, on the corner of Jameson Street and Bond street. I got my first football boots here.
Dunlop green flash in my case.
The Shop was called "Asbestos" and later changed to ARCO, fancy calling a shop Asbestos.
It had very steep narrow stairs to the upper floor, I know this well because in 1972 or 1973, I fell down them whilst carrying my daughter, I managed to go down on my back whilst holding her on my chest, she was OK, I eventually had an operation on my knee, which was dicky through a motor bike accident, hence the fall. Happy days.

I got my first cricket bat at Asbestos back in the early 70s, a reward for getting into the school team. A Gray Nicholls. It lasted forever, school, through Uni and into a few seasons of club cricket. No bat I have had since has matched its longevity, or its six-hitting capability.
Ditto, but mine was a Duncan Fearnley with a weird plastic coating on it....... I think it's still in the garage
I think buying boots from Asbestos was a rite of passage - spent 3 weeks paper round & pocket money on my first ever 'good pair' of Adidas Inter boots.
