I would like to see a tshirt made with Castleford Tigers LLS winners 2017.
I would really like one, preferably with a v neck, not round.

Why not.
Thought a tshirt would be cheaper.
More people would buy it.
I really think we should do something while there is all this eothopia in the town.

I would like to think the club have some plans in place.

A DVD of the tries/highlights of the season would be a sure fire sales winner,not sure if it would be in co-operation with Sky though?

Not convinced
Programmes sold out an hour before kick off on the biggest home game in 91 years
What's that about?

my son and I have noticed the programs have been sold out on a number of match days this year we always arrive half an hour before KO, RE merchandising I have brought it up many times that the club should try to cater for us old fans besides the young

Surely pictures of the team lifting the LLS or electronic versions for fans to get printed up themselves would be an easy win.

Or a 2017 image book (bit old school I know but brings back some nice memories)

A commerative (sp) playing shirt at the end of the season would be nice.

Also as we have won the league now, do we get the option of putting a star above the logo next season. Think wakey have two which I assume is for winning the league

Pretty sure if there was sufficient demand the club could get another batch printed.

I guess it comes down to the retail method of selling out of them and managing demand rather than having too many and wasting money on programmes people never buy.

They really should have started getting merchandise ordered 6-7 week ago when it was already clear Cas were going to finish top.

A team like Leeds would have done this and it would have meant having things available to buy on Friday.

Possibly but my understanding has always been that the real costs of printing are more in setup than run size.
To run out an hour before ko for the biggest home game for years was not great merchandising in my view and only the second time I haven't been able to get one at a game in all the years I've been watching

And the cost for printing that extra thousand on the initial print run is a fraction of a reprint. Big opportunity missed

I'm planning on having a Canvas printed of the team lifting the shield. I worked in the print industry for a while and I have a good relationship with a quality screen printer

Probably either full colour or Black White and Orange (picking out the players shirts etc. Size will be around 2x3' or 606mm x909mm

If a fancy one PM me and I will add you in the print run and let you know what the costs are.

I will load up the images in the next few days

Cheers

Got to admit the biggest weakness at castleford is the merchandising. Surely we going to see summet to buy both logical and memorabilia for winning the league
