Yesss ! Mine just arrived ! Happy Chappy ! Its really nice too, like it better than last years. The collar is kind of tight if i was being really picky... And generally if you dont stretch the shirt after its been washed and leave it to dry naturally it doesnt crack. I never had a problem anyway.

Very nice mate, just did 9 months round SE Asia myself and visited all of them countries (been to Thailand a couple of times before as well) so if you need any pointers give us a shout.

As for Malaria tablets, I didn't bother and my missus paid £70 odd quid and then didn't bother taking them either. Much more chance of getting dengue fever which is a big problem now than malaria.

You'll have the time of your life though, you lucky bastard. :claping hands:

Well my bloody shirt still isn't here. It's not as if Weymouth is in a different country FFS. They took my money on the 16th (which should have been a good omen). Bstrds.

Yeah and went on a few Thai forums before we left that basically said they just aren't worth it and can even hinder your recovery if you do catch it as you have already built up your immune system.

The key is just not to get bitten, in every 7/11 they sell mozzie cream called sofitel or something and it's ridiculously cheap (don't bother buying the expensive stuff here from boots etc.) and keep using that.

I get hammered by mozzies but I did the 2 day trip down the mekong into Laos, lived in Chiang Mai for 2 months, did a trek, went up to the Golden Triangle etc. etc. and didn't speak to anyone who had caught it and the ones who had took the tablets said it knocked them about for a bit. Up to you but you'd have to be very unlucky to catch it unless you're looking to live in the jungle for the whole 3 months!

Maybe we should take this to off topic ha ha!

Cheers man, you wouldn't believe how helpful that is! Maybe a little black market mozzie tablet selling's in order then!

Erm yeah, back to topic! My shirt's too small so going to have to swap it but I think it looks ace! My sponsors logo never cracks when it's like this either.

Shirt is very nice altho the arms are a little loose, but i think a smaller size wud be tight around the stomach so i think i cope with baggy arms

Is the shirt a different sizing to last year then? ie a medium last year was baggier than a medium this year? If so that is going to seriously piss me off because I've got mine printed which means they won't replace it with a different size. FFS!

Nah, don't worry it was my mistake. 2 seasons ago I got a small (I'm only a little man!) and it was a little snug so last season I got medium and it was fine, but I forgot that and got a damn small again this season!

Got mine just. Love it! Very sky blue! Neck nice and tight. Piece of advice, if you want the arms to fit buy the right size or grow some biceps

I'm a medium in t shirts but the CCFC mediums usually drown me! This years is no exception so I've gone for a small, slightly tight around the gut but fits well. Depends whether you like it baggy? Personally I'd rather have it slim fitted. Hope this helps?

I normally wear them over a hoody to games, that's why small's are a little too small! Be fine if I was just wearing the shirt.

If mine doesnt come tomorrow I want my delivery fee back. I don't want to pre-order it and expect a delivery on the 26th May, for it to come on the 3rd June. Piss take. Not only are the owners a joke, but so are the shop and the Sponsors.

Mine still isn't here. Starting to get seriously hacked off now. I can't even tell from my online account whether they've dispatched it yet. Are City Link delivering them all?

Just phoned the club. Any shirts with printing on will be sent out today, although some went yesterday. Not sure what the point was of pre-ordering it then...

I know someone that ordered it with a print on, and they shipped it to him without it on, because they didn't have the numbers or letters yet.

I'm going to swap my M for a L. It fits fine although perhaps a little snug round the arms, but if I'm playing football in it or wearing it over something in winter games I need it more roomy.

Still not got mine although it is one of the printed ones. What are the chances bloody Keogh changes his number or gets sold before the season starts !

You've given them an address which they've tried to deliver to twice, what else would you like them to do? You could have given them a work address if you knew you weren't going to be at home during the day, or it probably would have been better to just not pre-order and go buy it at your convenience.
