there's no news from the club about the 25/26 kits. 

They've only just started to try sell off 24/25 stock at 50% reduced prices (you might ask why they didn't do this before the last home game as it's their last chance of significant footfall but it brfc marketing we're dealing with). 

It's the last year of Macron making the kit but no news as who will be the 'main' sponsors. 

Expect news about the new kit no earlier than July. 

Proper astute business approach as usual then.

Macron have been fantastic as manufacturers imo.

Isn't it a 5 year deal from 21/22 ending the season after next?

The Macron deal finishes after next season. The tender for the next contract is out (or was at the last Forum, might have completed by now). Macron will have the right to continue if willing to match the price of the winning bid.

Correct. There's plenty to be disgruntled about but if we are going to hit the club with sticks let's make sure they are accurate ones, eh?

Sad that after 15 years of Venkys the only thing I can be positive about is who might be designing a football kit, but the Macron kits have been good quality and nice designs.

So many football clubs have delays waiting for their new kits - you'd think the suppliers would produce some in advance, rather than try to make them all over the summer?!

I would Imagine Rovers will get the new home kits within the next 2 weeks. I would imagine they will be on sale end of June/start of July

Just caved in and bought the away shirt, now it's 50% off. 

[LWX]

I like both of this season gone's shirts, but couldn't bring myself to buy/wear anything with Venkys on the shoulder.

Roverstore is closed this afternoon for a 'club event'.

It's almost like they want to drive people away.

Oh wait a minute............

 

[JHRover]

Broadcast that season tickets are back on sale one day and the next close the club shop at short notice for an "event".

They just don't take this seriously.

[Wheelton Blue]

The cynic in me would ask why they just say 'club event' rather than any specifics.

[MarkBRFC]

When is the next one of these?

You would think they would be desperate for some good publicity before the next one, be it a signing or whatever but I don't think anyone cares.

Good luck with Pasha/Gestede and co, if they even bother showing up.

Can they get away with just sending Lynsey Talbot to field questions and then they will "get back to you"?

Was meant to be June, but a new date of mid July has been proposed.

Aware there are loads of views that people should boycott, but if Pasha is cutting off all other communication with fans, I think it’s a meeting that should go ahead, tbh.

Boycotting would give the club an excuse to downplay its importance…go, ask the awkward Q’s, keep shining a bright light into dark corners…

…just don’t get sidetracked by the trivia of what flavour pies will be trialled next season 😉

Port Vale releasing a 150th anniversary kit. Looks a beauty. 

[Lancaster Rover]

Great kit, horrendous marketing shots. Looks like it’s taken in someone’s garden, wearing trainers as well. Terrible 

[Mattyblue]

‘Lads, quick before you go to Marbs!’

Bit like that time we launched our kit on a manky coat hanger hung up on a rusty gantry.

And if there are missing attendees from the club, then this should be high-lighted in the minutes with the response from the club representatives that are there.

I mean, it always is- you must feel differently if it’s something you’re highlighting?

They’ll want the new Chief Exec in before the next meeting so he can be another one to say “Happened before my time, fresh start, I’ll look into it, blah blah blah”
