This seems like the old stick their heads in the sand and hope it all goes away, why are we being run so badly ?

blaudrup 5,579 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Castore from the beginning have given off an air of being chancing bullshit artists. It's such a clearly derivative brand, with thesaurus-heavy press releases. (Most sportswear brands feature a lot of bullshit, even if they are better known, to be fair. I'm not going to get to the pie shop any faster in this shirt, whether Usain Bolt wore it or not) But I fear this could get a lot worse. What happens if this fledgling business has cash flow problems, goes under, disappears, and the club doesn't even get paid - or customers out of pocket? It's very high risk for embarrassment, and given the last eight years, what a risk to the fan's pride. I think that's been a concerning Board choice. Everyone has had enough of this kind of shit. This is the easy stuff. OhW 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While he is right that 10 is a standard number for a focus group, you should run multiple groups to collect reliable information on any given topic.

Clemdog 39,389 Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 'Another couple of days with the tin hats on and we'll get through this' Definitely the approach taken by Castore... Absolute silence apart from some tinpot template that they're sending out in emails. We can only hope that the 10 fans selected make our opinion clear. We want truths and honesty. But I sadly expect some fluffy shite about how great the demand has been. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyboyblue 226 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Sad as it is, they won’t be getting another penny off me until they sort out the fiasco with my pre ordered top.

This. Come out and say you've fucked up and how you are going to fix it then work with the club and fans. What they done with that fucking disaster iPad statement was just pour a shitload of lighter fluid on the fire. Screams of unprofessional cunts who don't know what they are doing and are well out of their depth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
