Stoke’s attitude to playing us is bizarre, they don’t give a fuck about playing us away, yet when the home game rolls round you’d think it was the rivalry to end all rivalries. For them anyway.
should be rotating for the cup final here. Running the risk of injury in this fixture. Rotate in the next 3 and be as refreshed for wembley. Chelsea going to be now. Need to be at least as ready as them for the final.
I wasn’t being serious but I would imagine being associated with a shirt, worn in the game where we lost our record of being in the CL for more than two decades, isn’t going to increase sales that much.
Also, kits are very much bought on stats.
The more wins, the more successful the club, the more shirt sales.
I get that a club’s overall shirt sales might increase with success. But, for me personally, if i’m buying a team’s shirt, I don’t think “oh I’ll go for the third kit because we won more games in that one” or to use your example “oh I can’t buy that one because we wore that in 6 games during the season we didn’t qualify for the Champions League”. That just doesn’t happen! I buy the one I like the look of and I think that is probably true of most people unless they are really odd…
