    Could maybe attach a tiny helium balloon to take the weight off.

    Don't like the badge on that kit (from that limited picture at least). Would preger just the emblem element sewn in like that, not a weird crest around it.

    Other than that... take my money. WIll be the first home shirt I buy in at least 10 years.

    Hopefully the shorts will have chevrons down the side.

    Your stock is rising, off the field operations.....

    I think a lot of manufacturers have moved away from the direct embroidery, like you used to get, for complex designs like our badge. They tend to go for a woven patch, like in the picture, or a rubberised application. Or if you're being really cheap, the heat transferred things that Nike have been using for us. The woven patch and the rubberised application are more robust.

    KLD's cut his teeth, seen the potential,getting his act together.
    Next,on the pitch,because none of this stuff exists without that.
    If we can enter into off-field deals going into 2034,let's do the same with our primary business.

    I'd have to disagree mate.

    None of what's happening is recently decided upon, its been planned from day one imo. It's only our impatience that makes it seem like it's taking forever. The club has reappraised feasibility studies from the 'Dell' period, taken advice on certain aspects and invited tenders to do the various projects. I posted about this last year.

    It looks like the club wanted out of L1 before spending millions on infrastructure, imagine if we'd spent on hospitality, bars, etc, and failed to go up.

    Hopefully this will calm people down and quash these ludicrous claims that KLD is desperate to get out and sell the club to anyone meeting his price.

    We'll see ....

    I'm not ITK,so I can only post on what I hear. The craic is that KLD has recently taken over the head coach appt.,and,if so,may indicate this had not been previously planned.
