Dear God Nic, it is wasn't a bloody lease mate. You have to have regard to the relative bargaining positions of the parties, what was on offer at the time, and our financials. You have no idea about any of these things, save for the term and the disclosed fact it was the best financial sponsorship deal we have ever had. I agree, the kit is poo, but your hypothesising over contractual matters if nonsensical. Nigel Short is no idiot, and people speculating wildy about our shortcomings in the negotiation of this deal are fanciful in the extreme. |

My problem with Macron isn't the brand per se, I don't really care who it is made by. It would be lovely to have Adidas, Nike or UnderArmour, but not many sides get that privilege. My problem is firstly the quality of the shirts. Last year I loved the design of that away shirt but as soon as I picked it up I put it down, quality is just awful. And secondly the distribution, to limit sales to internet and club shop is mind blowingly dumb. I can walk in to any number of sports shops in Pembrokeshire and pick up a Ospreys shirt, not one sells Scarlets apparel. If they are going down the web route they should be on ebay, amazon etc etc. One click platforms that people have accounts on. One brand webshops have had their day, they don't pull in the casual buyer. Once again this region does some things fantastically well, unfortunately their marketing and branding is still 10 years behind where it should be.

Yeah our kit and merch is made by Macron southwest based in devon and bristol, which makes all the the kit ‘off the peg’ for the scarlets, its exactly the same products as my club kit (tracksuit top identical), only double the price.
Macron don’t pay us to make our kit as some might think, and I reiterate, smaller clubs have adidas and nike made by adidas and nike etc not always a secondary supplier. And I agree with Diego getting our stock in sports shops would help sales no end. |

The shop are selling Scarlets Oddballs hats. I thought " I'll have me one of those". £16.50 seems a reasonable price, until you click on the post and packing. £4.50 for a bloody hat!! I don't think so, daylight robbery.

Sadly that’s about right Neyland, postage would be about £3 plus the labour and packing. When you think of it that’s 4 pints at the stadium.ish. And they look good quality. |
