Do they realise who you are........................not good enough Loyal, get them told.

 

Why would we get a discount on it if it was only available to us? That would just be the price. I'm pretty sure, despite the bit you quote later in this thread, that it is available to all but by being a 1903 Club member you get your name on it and, it turns out, a fiver off the price non-members will pay.

"On top of this, 1903 Club members’ names will be displayed on a limited-edition fourth shirt - to be worn by the Bantams during the 2021/22 season - and available to purchase with a members-only in-store discount." This is from the original 1903 Club blurb. Apart from being "limited-edition" it doesn't say it's exclusive to purchase by 1903 Club members.

For reference, the 2017 4th shirt was available to all, not just those who paid to get their name on it.

Perhaps one for the club to clarify?

 

I paid my tenner deposit - but I'm not hopeful! Still haven't got my scarf tube, and no one is answering my emails!

 

Has anyone seen the template for this yet or are we waiting for later this week for the launch? It sounds nice from the description here to be fair and thanks @Offcomedun for getting us this info!

 

Yes and they said cos I’m abroad it may take a bit longer. That was a month ago. I mailed them back last week informing them it’s not arrived, and haven’t had a response.
Will email Sparks tomorrow morning . It’s all a bit of a shambles imo. Was a great initiative, but seems to have been managed really poorly. The strange thing about the “tube”, is that I paid the standard £10 postage fee. I emailed the club to say I’m over here in Estonia, asking what additional postage I should pay. They responded they’ll be in touch for extra payment once they’re ready to send out international orders. Didn’t hear anything for a month. Went i wrote them back, they told me it’s been posted out. All very fragmented. If I’d had known it was going to be such a hassle, despite being highlighted on the promotion “a way for international fans to support their club”, I wouldn’t have signed up. Glutton for punishment as I am, I’m expecting the same situation with the shirt.

 

I finally received a response from my email from "BCAFC RECEPTION". I wrote that I want to cancel my membership, as I haven't received what was promised, and I'm not happy with the lack of communication:

"I have just had correspondence that we have sent out 1903 packs in batches, the last batch of international packs were posted out on the 15th of September. Due to some confusion with the post office sending us back international packs, your pack was posted out on the 15th of September and not during August. I can only apologise for the misinformation"

I've also been told that if I cancel my membership, then that means they'll refund my £10 deposit for the 4th shirt, as this is only allowed to be purchased by members. I'm not sure what they mean by "confusion with the post office sending us back international packs". No idea why they didn't communicate this directly to all international members, rather than me spending a month emailing them. I'm going to give it another week or so, but I'm not holding out much hope. When was this scheme launched - March/April I think? Half a year to send out stuff people have signed up and paid is terrible service.

Apparently, all the income they received from membership sign ups, was going towards transfers. No wonder we got Robinson!

I'm really not holding up much hope for the 4th shirt ever materialising. And if it does, maybe we'll get it in time for next season.

Footnote: they still haven't contacted me for additional overseas postage payment like they said they would. TBH, makes me think they still haven't posted it.

 

Having worked in the clothing industry for may years previously I think we're looking at a 3 month lead time (maybe more with the shipping issues going on) for this. Assuming they didn't confirm the order until start of Sept then we might get it in Dec but this is just an educated guess. Can't see City paying for air freight to get it in sooner!

 

Can't use it for cup games then like the last one given that we will likely be knocked out in november

 

Not sure if this is the norm but sent a parcel to Germany and took 2 minutes to fill out a customs declaration and stick it on the outside of the parcel next to the Address label, Collected Sat morning by Royal Mail and delivered Wednesday by GLS ( a Royal Mail International parcel service.) to Cologne

 

I’m guessing that isn’t the case with the 1903 club tat

 

Woo hoo! Got my tax free books from the post office today.

 

My guess is that not enough have committed to it to make it a worthwhile venture. Given the timing of the sale I expect it to go on general sale

 

I hope they aim better than our forwards.

 

Just seen this on the Supporters Board Facebook page

We have received several queries about when we can expect to see the "4th Shirt" that a lot of supporters have ordered. Due to the volume of queries, rather than wait until the next supporters Board meeting we have been in touch with the club and have received the following response:
"Unfortunately there has been a manufacturing delay which resulted in the shirt not reaching us during December. We have been informed by Just Sport (AVEC) that the stock is due to hit us at the end of January / beginning of February.
The EFL and FA have approved the use of the shirt and we’ll be wearing it a home game prior to the end of the season.
The club is currently working on the back-end logistics so when this stock hits we can make it available to all those that have pre-ordered a shirt straight away."
We trust that this answers your queries regarding this matter

 

Last week was told the shirt is due within a week to 10 days and would be requesting payment shortly
Well Mr Sparks I for one will not buy it whilst Adams is the Manager
