Home Shirt Delays - someone else to blame (1 Viewer)

Everyone has been going on at the club over the delays to our shirts. But has anyone taken a second to consider the delays may be far enough back along the process to not be the clubs fault ? I know (and others have also said) that this forum likes to apportion blame and prepares the pitchforks and torches whenever it's able but this tweet may point to another step in the chain.

Not so much the tweet, check the number of clubs mentioned in the replies, all complaining about shirt delays. Mostly us but not everyone

Think the club has been fobbed off somewhat by the "retail partner"
With the messages that the club had had from the supporters, they must have gone to to the retail partner to see what was going on.....
Probably told, yeah, we'll be ok, nothing to see here....
More and more messages come through and the club probably said, hold on a minute here, what is going on....
By the sounds of it, that went on over the weekend, the club were chasing the "retail partner" all day yesterday, who clearly have fu**ked things up, and they eventually got back to them with the "truck" story....
Shit-show, but guessing the logistics all to do with retail partner bulshitting the club ...

Shep, where are you getting all your club responses from
'must' have gone to the retail partner
chasing the retail partner 'all day yesterday'
I haven't really seen any of these things reported, unless you actually work for the club

I was a nightshift prouction manager at an engineering Co on Bayton road.
I was told that we had a new supplier delivering some castings from Poland that night this job ran 24/7 and we had run out.

Cut a long story short 3 nights later after the ferry and then the lorry broke down, trouble at customs, they had to admit they had quality problems and hadn't actually sent any.
Moved on not long after and always wondered if they ever caught up.
