Street sellers also selling Leeds colours. Wonder if Leeds shop carries no stock either. Street sellers selling burgers, wonder if Macdonalds had no stock?

When I first posted this, when I was saying bigger sponsors I meant sponsors with more money and NEW sponsors.i was meaning the commercial department don’t seem to be performing as good as the team did on the park. For cas not to have corporate sell outs every game is baffling. They way we performed I would have thought sponsors would have been clambering over them selfs to get down the lane.

Our corporate facilities are inadequate that’s why they don’t sell out. New stadia would sort that out.

Well cas lad 69 I've never eaten in the hospitality or had hospitality either, but I've heard the food is good and everyone enjoys it , just a thought do you think Thursday nights could have an impact on it ?

To see people selling GF merchandise outside the ground and in the town before the final was embarrassing. How do these people get shirts, scarves, flags etc made so quickly yet the club do nothing? Thks happened in 2014 for Wembley and again in 2017 for GF. Why? Leeds have a plan for when they get to finals. Why dont ee?
To be fair there is nothing to stop anyone getting merchandise made and selling on probably at a lower price than the shop but also probably inferior quality.

I went into the shop last Friday an half heard a conversation between a potential customer and one of the staff. If I heard correctly the guy was trying to buy a large number of something but he was trying to barter. I heard the shop staff member say 'thats the price do you want them or not' at which the guy walked out without purchasing. The staff member said to someone else 'he would have been selling them on'.

Not much the club can do about this type of thing there will always be people trying to make a few bob for themselves on the back of the clubs success.
I remember when we played at Wembley I got a official t shirt but it was made by isc,maybe xblades aren’t able to have such a quick turnaround

Dont care what other teams or nasty burger joints do. Just be nice to see our club make the most of every opportunity. It has been said many times that our marketing team could do better.

The street sellers took a opertunaty just as leeds did with one day less to organise grand final related merchandise
Castleford wasted the opertunaty instead brought forward next years shirt to sell
The marketing team should look at our merchandise before coming out with the slogan for season ticket renewals it would be nice to play in Black & Amber

Wasn't a lover of the new colours but they have grown on me, I think the marketing team do a fantastic job and have really lifted the clubs profile, the last 4 years , as our CEO said at the last AGM mark Grattan has done a great job in this area ,

It’s all about opinions and whilst I’m not really a Queen fan, I thought Bulsara was very good!

I was in the shop last week and guess what, there were flags, tee shirts , hats, scarfs , new away shirts , polos , in fact as much official merchandise you could wish for , you know the type of stuff if their is a fault with you can return, the stuff that helps generate enough money so we have a great team to watch, and pay their wages , oh and not forgating the VAT the club have to pay. But an interesting point is maybe the club knew that their was over 8000 free flags for all the cas fans on their seats at the GF when they got there, maybe just maybe !
we were half way up the Stretford end and only the seats below us seemed to have the free cas flags and yet all the leeds fans at the opposite end seemed to have flags.
