Mega Thread The Port Store Mega Thread Part 2

If it was limited to membership, they could have confirmed that before actually selling them. It's a sacred representation of our club, why give scalpers any chance to profit?

Richardson has outright lied, again. How do you think nearly 2000 jumpers are "produced by mistake"? They didn't just slip on a button. When he says mistake, what we should actually hear is incompetence.

Coffee and donut lol. How easily the sins of the past and present are forgiven.

They could give every member a free jumper and people like you would still complain. Saying that this particular situation was handled well isn’t erasing the “sins” of the past. People who are so negative all the time are worse than the happy clappers.

The reality is you have NFI why or how we got the jumpers. Everyone who wants one will get one.

It was a bloody nice coffee as well.

The last thing i bought was the black Macron zip-up hoodie with the PA on the left tit, back in 2021. I reckon it's arguably the finest piece of club kit they've done. I just looked on the website and the pickings these days look rather slim. The caps are still good though.

While nice in theory, giving a free jumper to every member would be absolutely negligent.

There are PBs on eBay for nearly double the price of what they would have been sold in store. Some of these listings were posted in this thread. They have enabled scalping of a currently very limited jumper. One that is being worn for the first time in a few years. One that is a key part of the identity of the club. It would have taken a one minute brainstorm session to come up with a way to prevent this.

There PBs are being worn in round 3. Is everyone that wants one going to get one prior to this?

It is another example of a lack of forward thinking by the club that has yet again impacted supporters. This is what I was referencing being forgiven.

I note you didn't see fit to address the other points in my post.

I'll dunk on the club for a lot but this seems like a reach. If we've just got approval, which is sudden and weird announcement suggests is the case, then they can only wait on Macron to produce more. 5 cap is fine, gotta buy for family and friends if they can't queue on one specific day and time. Can't avoid scalpers.

Dunno. Chill.

Nah 5 per person was just dumb considering the limited stock. Online only, one per member barcode would’ve been a lot fairer for everyone and kept scalping to an absolute minimum.

I understand why the available number was so limited. That is more reason to require a membership per jumper. It would be easily to verify people buying for family members with memberships.

I dislike Richardson lying about the reason for the jumpers being produced in the first. To swallow it between mouthfuls of donut and coffee seems an apt representation where a majority of supporters are at with the club.

Sometimes gotta suck it up for the greater good if you miss out. Can't get your second cousin to buy you a guernsey in his limit of one or two? Deal with it.

 

[Jonts]

june PBs will have red MG logos. Apparently the pi’s also have MG in red for Rd 3

Already got your hands on a couple mate?

$500. What a bargain!....

If I didn't get the peter ladams guernsey I would riot

 

[Rising Power]

Yeah nah. I'll take my chances in June.

 

[El_Scorcho]

I'd love a PI Prison Bar guernsey, i'd buy one if they made them to that spec as a pre-order, but i'm now 36 and there are less than 10 players on our list that wear a size that wouldn't look painted on.

If they did a made to order, pick your number PI run for say, $250, i'd snap one up very quickly.

 

[Willsy10]

$500 for a guernsey lol. Nuts.

MYSTERY SALE!

Yes, very mysterious indeed.

Yes, very mysterious indeed.

You pay $500 and you don't even know what size guernsey you're going to get. That's about the only mystery.

 

[Visenfest]

Anyone who ordered the PB on the day that the online release came out (Sat 11 March) heard or received anything? They were meant to be dispatched from Monday 20th, but haven't heard a thing.

Scrap that, forgot I got it sent to a relative's PO Box - email from the club has confirmed delivered.

I'm 32 and I'm certain there wouldn't be a single PI guernsey that doesn't make me look like I'm a kid wearing my dad's clothes.
