Good point actually. I'm low on gym tops so I'd definitely invest. I imagine the cost to send shirts abroad out-weight any income they'd receive, especially if they were discounted too. Would you like a Pompey top?
If the sold them for a cheaper price here then it'd be worth it and it also expands their marketing and we could do the same with them.
Nah Pompey Top is the name of the beer. If you did for some reason want a top, you'd ask for a Pompey Top top. And if Leicester City chairman Top Srivaddhanaprabha was serving you, you'd ask for a Pompey Top top, Top.
Players in the Hornet Shop Anyone been to one of these? I'm down for half term and my two, 5yo & 9yo, desperately want to go and meet Ighalo. I'm guessing they're busy but is it ridiculously busy and a bit of a scrum? Can anyone share previous experiences?
Not usually that bad tbh mate. Took my brother to a couple of them and it's not been crazy busy. Half term might be a different kettle of fish though....
'Course you don't get wafers with it,it's a ******* seabird*' etc etc etc * Watford goalscoring genius.
Do they do a Stormy Petrel and a Gannet ripple flavour? If there aren't enough flavours it'll be Layun's fault.
That was chaos, much busier than they expected. A queueing system that was only organised by those attending which broke down immediately. It was not helped by Ighalo turning up 30 mins late. There eventually was some semblance of order instigated by a club employee who eventually goot a decent system in place. My kids didn't care though, they got a hat and a scarf, got to meet Ighalo & Connor Smith, got photos with them and autographs. So they're happy as can be. The best news is that nobody bought the players while I was there, might have been due to their lack of barcodes though
God knows what it was like for the Layun & Fessi session, I saw about 10, 000 blokes in sombreros making their way down Vicarage Road* * this is blatantly untrue
I wonder if I could get Lloyd Doyley on loan to dig my flowerbeds ready for the spring? I shan't pay his wages, but I'll give the lad a tenner if he can do a few days labouring on the building job I'm on at the moment. Just don't tell Ed Balls.
Well, my youngest lad is now at the football academy on a Thursday night, on the astroturf under the lights. He is doing very well. He is tall for his age, fast, strong, left footed and is a ninja made entirely from titanium. Currently he has no football shirt, because it is too expensive. Instead he has an England rugby world cup shirt that we got from the petrol station reduced to £1.49 after the tournament was finished and they were reduced to clear. The other boys have liverpool, arsenhole or barcelona shirts and there is even a derby bloody county one. There are one or two Oxford United shirts too, but then we are living in Oxford so that it OK. I would like my lad, 'Four Cyclones' as he is nicknamed, to have a Watford shirt, but you will know that is a very expensive business and not usually for the likes of us benefits underclass. I have searched for a long time for a cheap way to get one for his age, but there is nothing at all on EBay or second hand anywhere. The only solution has been to save a little for some months and sell some things and now we have enough to get him a shirt for Xmas! It will have his name and a number and even the premier league patches! Fifty four of yer English pounds in total though....Enough to make your head spin! The problem I have is that when I was ordering it, I thought to be economical I would get age 7/8 even though he is only 5, because then it will last for a longer time. However, on consideration, after I'd put the order in, I think it may be better to have got age 5/6 because otherwise it is going to be like a little dress on him. He won't even be able to wear it until he grows to fit it and then it will be out of date. So I emailed the Hornet shop to tell them I had changed my mind and I want age 5/6. But there was no answer. I tried calling them many times and the only thing you can speak to is a 'nobody available' answering machine lady. Then I got an email saying they were very busy because of the blasted black Friday foolishness. I put the order in on Monday when I got paid and today is Thursday and still I have not heard anything from them to confirm the change in size and still I cannot speak to them on the telephone. If they just send me the age 7 to 8 one, would I be in my rights to send it back to them and say I wanted age 5 to 6?
Not if it has his name on it, obviously. Edit: Is there anyway you can prove you tried to contact them? Did you email them (which would have been sensible). You could probably get Mrs Kremlin to take it in a the sides and hem and let it out when he is older.
Yeah but I've clearly told them only about 3 hours after I put the order in. I ordered it at like 6 in the morning and I emailed them at 9 the same morning to say I wanted to change the size. Surely there's a cooling off period on these things? Surely I can change my order? It's their own fault if they haven't read my email and their own fault they're not answering their phone.
I think that consumer rights change when an item has been "personalised". Therefore, they may not be willing to refund or even exchange it....
