THE TIGER DEN HAS GONE MAD

Sale, Sale, Sale. For those who are interested I happen to pop in to the TIGER DEN this morning and saw they are currently having a end of year sale. There are some great bargins and I picked myself up a 2005 Team Polo for $35. So go on - treat yourself - you know you have been wanting one all year.

I also asked the lady behind the counter and she said that she is pretty sure Concept Sports have the merchandise contract next season, so the rumours of us having a new jumper sponsor next seem to be false.
 
Bought my 4 yo daughter a new jumper there yesterday $30.
Also bought both daughters (4 & 2.5) Richo badges.

A lot of bargains to be had.
 
as i dont know of any changes in sponsorship and guernsey design for next year i would suggest they are having a clearance and selling up all the old stock to make way for a new supplier next year. hopefully nike or puma

the woman behind the counter would not say anything because she is an employee of concept sports and not the RFC because the club contracted the tiger den out to concept
 
While the gear this year is a vast improvement on the previous season, I still think by and large the standard of merchandise isnt anywhere near the quality of our previous supplier - Nike. I wouldnt have a clue about the sales figures but surely we sold more gear when the little tick was on our gear.

But I guess at the end of the day I'm still happy with my $35 polo.
 
I believe that Concept Sports do have the contract for next season.

However, they wont be making the merchandise and guernseys themselves, and are having them made by an overseas company who supply many of the EPL clubs.

Any idea the actual name of this new supplier???? 

Can't help with the actual name Jimmy.

Agree that our sales must be down from when we were supplied by Nike. Seeing some of the stuff that Port and Carlton continue to have available, our gear of the last few years has been total crap.

What happened with Nike? Was it an Ian Campbell decision to dump them?

Yeah and I bet the manufacturers of that little tick didn't make as much money as the Brand !!!
