You obviously don't have children!

Just put the home and away shirt in the wash together on a very hot temperature. Bob's your uncle...

Of course you are entitled to your opinion, its just that I am surprised at your views on the subject. I had you down as a When Saturday Comes type of supporter and all that normally entails. My error.

 

"Older"? Is it really an age thing? How many years separate us anyway? I am certainly not old enough to be your father! Whether I would personally buy the kit isn't the issue. I think that it is more of a moral issue anyway. A chance to take corporate responsibility.

 

And yes, surely everyone knows it will be the white kit that is selected, which potentially means that a third kit will be required when we play at Stevenage, Alty, etc. Can't see them switching to their away strips to play at home in can you?

 

Meanwhile back to the "jumble sale"!

Sorry kmj didn't mean to imply you were 'proper' old even though you could actually be my dad. I am speaking from a personal point of view. Many people spend 40 pounds on a casual shirt to wear on a saturday night. IMHO 40 pounds on a football shirt that will last 12 months is good value. I actually enjoy buying the football shirts and still at my ripe old age get excited when a new one is released (sad i know). Perhaps my enthusiasm will wane when my kids want them.

If the "away" kit clashes with the opposition's "home" kit, presumably the Fleet play in the "home" kit so a third kit is unnecessary. What was worn when we were away to Torquay last year?

[eufckev]

We wore red at Torquay.

 

What's trying to be answer is that when we play away at teams like Stevenage and Altrincham (whose home kit is red and white), we will need an alternative kit.

[DA11]

Don't forget Woking with red and white halves.

[Jeff]

Grr to Woking, their Argie away kit and to Guiseppe Sole.

 

Their fans are an alright bunch though.

Thanks, eufckev, point taken. Having just had a look at the Stevenage and Altrincham shirts on their websites, I think it would be a question of how much red there would be on our white shirts. The Stevenage shirt seems to be almost completely white with red flashes so we could wear our home kit without a clash, but it is difficult to tell whether Altrincham's are white with wide red stripes or red with wide white stripes! To have an additional kit for only two matches does seem an expensive option (unless they could be signed by the players and sold to fans afterwards to offset the cost!)

That wouldn't be a bad idea. Something MyFC can take a look at if a third kit were to come into place.

Or (I'm not sure if this can be been done of not) if Stevenage, Altrincham or Woking play in their away kit at their home ground and we wear our home/away kit; this may well be a solution, pending if these clubs agree to do this or not. I'm sure this has been done a few times before (not involving Ebbsfleet Utd/Gravesend & Northfleet).

There was a match a couple of seasons ago on the tele where Woking (I think) had to wear an old Aldershot away kit.

[David Holden]

Actually it was Aldershot wearing an old Woking strip.

[Jeff]

Ah, I was in the right ballpark. :-)

 

I remember turning it on halfway through the first half and being somewhat confused.

[eufckev]

I would've felt sorry for Woking, not ALdersh1t though

[Harry J Allstars]

That was hilarious.

 

Aldershot played Woking away but Shots forgot their kit so had to wear a Woking away kit. Wouldn't have been tood bad but or the fact that the game was televised live on Sky.

 

Chelsea did a Similar thing about ten years ago when they went to Conventry but then if Sky blue clashes with both Royal Blue and white then what could they do?

[Slartibartfast]

Imagine if it happened with us and Dartford and we had to wear their shirts!!!!

 

Our players would be swamped in those XXXL's.
