What the is all that about? It's especially ironic considering the $FA are continually looking for more cash and usually it's by fleecing Scotland fans. Yet, they have opportunities to generate revenue willingly from supporters but can't provide the products to meet demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmcca5 Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Read something about unprecedented demand for Wales kits and that JD had totally sold out of them and had no idea when they would get more. So it's not just us that are getting piss poor service. Looks like they have sorted that as there available on the JD Site now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I thought about getting the wee fella the away strip for on holiday and his football class, but it's still full price and it's due to be changed soon, so just left it. As someone said, seems a bit of a cartel with only JD selling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmcca5 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 The last home top came out on the 11th of November so I guess they will start to get teasers etc for the new kit quite soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McToot Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 How long was the JD deal for? Will we be stuck with this ridiculous situation for another 2 years? And has anyone actually heard if there is a new top coming out in November? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joecraigfanclub Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Is that a definite two years? I have exchanged emails with Jules McGeever over this and she has been very good at replying and providing updates. They are building a shop at Hampden to sell Scotland gear so hopefully this will mean the demise of the JD Sports agreement. They have also appointed a new merchandise manager, a guy called Steve Romeo and will have an online shop up and running by the end of the year. At least that is what I am told Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joecraigfanclub Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 me, just read the text with the link. Planet Regan is clearly in a different galaxy to our own Stewart Regan, Scottish FA Chief Executive: “We are delighted to announce these sponsorship agreements with two of the leading sports brand manufacturers and retailers in the United Kingdom.“They have shown their commitment to Scottish football by investing in the game and with the upturn in fortunes of all our national teams, we are sure the partnerships will be mutually beneficial.“By confirming these contracts, we feel that we are continuing to elevate the profile of our national teams and ensuring that our supporters around the world have access to the very best merchandise and replica kits. The money that we generate through this partnership continues to support our strategic objectives, particularly in the Performance and Grassroots areas.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been one of the worst deals yet, for the fans that is. They have had not one penny from me for merchandise from this latest kit deal, and unless they sort things out for the last 2 years with the new kit i won't be getting that either.
