Please, please, Mr Ashton, NO we are in the FA Cup Semi Final caps, t-shirts, etc etc. So negative and defeatist. Not worked in three seasons where we have put out such tat- we lost them all with "its our cup final" thinking. Look at Plymouth with their "we are in the sixth round" tat and learn. Whaddyasay??
Well it's not every day you're in the semi-final of any competition, let alone this one. I'm sure a few scarves, caps, pennants and t-shirts won't hurt.
It worked for the Play Off final, people went mad for that tat. Just do T-Shirts, shirts etc in kids sizes. Then that will leave the adults to be free to engage in Tinsel wigs, jester hats and rosettes etc.
Am sure the full range of merchandise will be available - think this is best left for the final. Thought the Plymouth fans looked ridiculous with their half Plymouth, half Watford scarves.
Don't be surprised with both the home and away shirt changing next season to see some semi final embroidered shirts appear in the next few weeks to help clear the stocks of this years kit.
Although I agree with the sentiment of the first poster I have to say there are plenty of fools out there who will lap that stuff up, so I'd rather they did it officially through Watford than some dodgy geezer outside the ground!
I tend to agree with UEA, people are always going to want merchandise to commemorate what could turn out to be a momentous day in our history. Nothing wrong with the club making a few quid out of those who wish to deck themselves out in semi-final gear. Yes, the majority of it looks a bit stupid, especially considering it's just a semi, but the chances of us making the final are fairly slim should we end up with United so we might as well cash in whilst we can.
They will sell semi final stock... am I the only one who saw the quarter final mugs in the rookery store? The club won't miss out on the chance to sell fa merchandise, wether we like it or not.
The effect on players from the club releasing merchandise should be minmal, lets face it, if we get Manure (which based on the refereeing in the first game we will) then our chances are slim (But don't get me wrong, it's a hell of a chance for us compared to Chelski) At the end of the day it's up to you whether you buy it or not, I may get a flag for 50p or something in the pre-season sale, just to remember the day...
Fair enough, I know what it feels like to be a skint student (assuming you are by your uni pic) But I would rather buy merchandise in full rather than sales, as im thinking that wfc would get more profit from me. Do you think they would have them official merchandise stalls like they did at cardiffas its on neutral grounds?
maybe they'll sell clown noses so we can all remember richards lee clown like performnce (sorry couldn't resist)
why thank you jobr, or maybe we should all just buy this years red nose (which looks like a clown nose) and we'll be doing our bit for charity as well!
