If we have had kit supply problems with; Le Coq Sportif, Nike and Umbro, isn't it possible that these problems don't stem from the kit manufacturers? but actually from our own club, the rubbish commercial side and this "deal" with kitbag.
The same thing happens every year, our kits arrive late and often we don't have enough. I think this is because all of the kits are made in the same factories in the Far East, in May, when the rest of the premier league are getting their kits made, it's a busy time and the factories put their prices up. Our club wait, until it's not so busy and get them made cheaper. This means that we get our kits in late August / early September ( or in some cases December) but the club and kit bag save on manufacturing costs, so make more per shirt.
