I agree Waddy-Fax, if the club want to see a sea of blue and white they need to help or tell everyone to go to the beach and have look there (though it is usually more of a brown colour).

Cheap tat is the order of the day and any profit is a profit.

The stuff they have is Tat and just plain Naff, The club have at least got the Special One off Final Shirt which is woirth keeping for future and holding onto, I got one of the One off player shirts from the Game with Batley at the beginining of the season, I will be getting one of these replica's too, they are worth keeping hold of, Unlike some tatty wig and hooter.



Well Done halifax for the X-blades shirts and the polo shirts, Some on here always moan the club don't do enough then when they do get polo shirts sorted and replica shirts etc you moan at the quality and would prefer to put the money into a National chain who sell tat thats made in china or Taiwan, not into the club pockets, do you think they have time in a month to get cheap tat merchandise that if didn't sell would sit in the store cupboards until next time we get to a final. Its dead money, they are getting stock that is and has sold out thus making profit without leaving money in stock sitting there.

Will always be Thurstons for me.

Are the club bringing out any more final merchandise other than the t shirt and the final shirt?

Faxhali sorry I disagree, so only those who can afford a £45 shirt can buy something purely for the final, hey its a great shirt I love it but im sure not everyone can afford that. We arent on about polo shirts or regular season stuff, its a 1 off final and im pretty sure you dont have to order thousands of each item. Kids love wigs, hats, scarves, pom poms stuff like that, think your being a bit blind tbh, its a 1 off special event, a final, surely offering items that the majority of fans can affors and to show their support of the fax is nt too much to ask. Also with regards to your do they have time in a month comment, if thats the case then stop getting to finals, this is all part of getting to a final, anticipation, celebration, if thats te case get more staff in, designate a membe rof staff the job of merchandise organiser, im sure we will all have a great time anyway but I just feel we missed an opportunity to do a bit more and make a few bob. Theres kids in my group im going with and they want hats, scarves, wigs, pom poms, flags etc, its hardly moaning is it, this helps in securing the future fax fans.



Look at Leighs attempt then ours, cant argue that case tbh. I'm sure the club will think oh we cant do owt right but its major thing I feel, a massive sea of blue and white, a carnival atmosphere, theres thousands of fax fans going, surely a lost opportunity to make a few bob and let the fax fans show off.

Quote Waddy-Fax="Waddy-Fax"TBH its all a bit poor I feel so far, I looked at the final T-shirts in Harveys and for £13 they are pretty poor so think our group are getting some printed ourselves, and please no directors start ringing round the printing shops again telling us we cant use the fax logo or crest, we arent so save yourself a call lol. Just been on the Leigh clubs site and have you seen all their finals merchandise!! Blimey, well done to them looks good. Scrap that, it makes our effort embarassing. leighrl.rlstore.co.uk/category/blackpool'" Fans at Leigh too are coming up with their own ideas and just geting on with it , I particularly like the knotted hanky idea . A fan is producing them at £3 each and giving the money to their club which I think is a good idea. It`s cheap it`s tacky and everyone would buy one which just typifies Blackpool but they have 2 differant Leigh badges on theirs wheras I would have had FAX MAKES BLACKPOOL ROCK. and our Halifax badge. It`s understandable the Club wants to make as much as possible out of this final but also people want to buy something daft as well it is Blackpool after all . I understand the Club are going to be selling things like that too so maybe leting people know when they are coming in would be enough to stop people buying elsewhere.

I was hoping for coaches tops and training tops like the Grand Final ones.

I agree, its a final in Blackpool, city of tatt. People are doing their own thing too. The we dont have time or a £45 shirt is good enough attitude doesn't sit. We should be going all out, its Wednesday now so only 10 days to go so if anythings going to happen it needs to be quick so people can get down to the shop and buy them. I know people in my group have asked me to try find scarves and hats and theres 15 of us going, flags too, Leigh have shown us how its done and good on them, Im sure an hours googling can bring in all this tatt in bulk that the club can make a small profit from, just spent 5 minutes looking myself and found plenty of options.

Leigh have got it spot on in regards to available merchandise and availability of it. Even if it's 'just tat' it sends out the right message that they want fans in loads of Red and White gear.

But in a similar vein I wish we had a limited edition shirt for the final like 'Fax have.

our car flags have the old badge on, probably from 2004 or 2006. but then again who cares! can't wait for blackpool!!!

i wouldnt mind a limited edition shirt but the club doesnt have the money so maybe next year ....
