Jimatno9 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I visited the store last week seeking a 14/15 year old away strip as a Christmas present - like everyone else was told no chance no stock and none till next year. Went online and the strip was available on line so purchased it not in any real hope of getting it but i picked it up today. Maybe i was lucky but i would suggest you try on line. The whole thing smacks of incompetence though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dredd Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 The clubs been reluctant to sell off large amounts of kit at the end of the season for a long time now. I remember the days when you could pick up a shirt in April for £15. There’s obviously a balance to be found in order to not have loads left over to sell, but ordering enough to get to at least February. If there’s no Christmas stock then that’s a big fail on the clubs part 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess any issues regarding stock in the clubs shop was beyond the clubs control after all? Just saw that on Twitter, anyone know how our supplies/distribution is set up ? I see Everton are unaffected due to their set up. EDIT To partly answer my own question; From the OS: Mark Underwood, Managing Director of Elite Group UK, hummel’s exclusive brand partner, said: “Following an incredible three-year partnership, we are delighted to extend our agreement with Bristol City. The football club is one of the most forward-thinking clubs in the country, we love and value the partnership highly, and are looking forward to the next six years working together.” While other clubs : "Southampton and Coventry City, who have hummel kit partnerships, were forced to temporarily close both their online and physical retail outlets citing 'significant operating issues' facing Elite Sports Group," Elite are trying to claim £10m from Rangers in Court, but I don't think the two things are linked. They were fined £500k along with Rangers and Sports Direct a while back for price fixing. I can't find to many details other than this above. Though Oldham have taken steps away from Elite; "Elite are also the company who have been responsible for managing our retail store since 2018.As a result of issues the club has had with Elite over a number of months, which appear to be similar to those issues Southampton have referred to, the arrangement for Elite to manage our retail store was terminated by the club on Tuesday 22 November 2022." This could be why there have been problems with our shirts, time may tell. Edited November 24, 2022 by 1960maaan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Aside from exemplary retail management, one of the Club’s strengths is the transparency and ease of flow of communication with their customers.

t_b Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Why do we need a U.K. distributor? Everything we ship is sent out via the store. We just do a deal with Hummel, say we want X amount of kit. They produce it, ship it to us and we process it locally. Cut that needless link out of the supply chain and save money. Simple.

This is not only bad PR, but it 's costing the club a lot of monry. It's a strange one. Clubs notified Thursday, Southampton ended their Partnership Monday. Oldham took control of their shop the other day. Elite Sports were fined £5ook in a case against them, Rangers and JD Sports and went in to Admin the day after their Court case against Rangers was announced. I'm have no idea how it works, or how will Admin pay for a Court case that could be worth around £10m . I guess that now Elite has broken their Contracts, so it allows clubs to make new deals elsewhere . None of this explains why City couldn't have mentioned problems with supply. At least then any anger would be aimed at Elite and not the Club, not really the time to be keeping things close to the chest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon79 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Am I missing something? Have just seen this on Bristol live & a statement from the club! Because I’m fairly confident that the retail offering up to Christmas has been affected. I’ve had an email saying my order which was made & paid for last week (Christmas present ) is out of stock! COYR Home shirts remain in limited stock and there are no available sizes above a large online. There are only small and medium sizes in the adult goalkeeper jersey but the club say they have received stock for the 2022/23 season. In a statement, the club told Bristol Live: "We can confirm that Elite Sports Group, Bristol City’s kit supplier and UK distributor for hummel has gone into administration. We’ve received our stock for the 22/23 season and can reassure fans that our retail offering in the run-up to Christmas will not be affected.

Elite have been involved in a lot of litigation, and were being sued for withholding monies owed (by Rangers) as long ago as 2020. It seems to be a company that has grown out of a sports shop in Hatfield. TBH Hummel should've had a clause allowing it to ditch what looks like a highly dodgy partnership proposition. The company does have its own direct merchandising department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
