wanna try buying one in the shop . they aint got any that fits anyone but giants or babies and they aren't getting any more .. blessing really , as the quality of the macron gear is rubbish , adidas wasn't cheap but it was half decent . 50 quid for a shirt now and its crap .. hard to accept that we play in the macron but you cant get macron gear if you want it.

Interesting first post.

I've actually found the quality of this season's shirts to be pretty good. Don't understand the hating - or is it just because it's not a "Big Name Brand" (otherwise known as Cheap Stuff That Eschews Originality) like Adidas or Nike?

Cos, y'know, that stuff's cool with the yoof.

[backtoburnden]

no its not the brand its the fact that they couldnt meet demand for their goods . no point having a rack full of things if they don't fit anyone. xxxxl are readily available. the staff fseem helpless when asked if they are getting any more stuff in . not good from a massive sports goods maker

I think you'll find that in any retail store, the medium and large clothing is always the first to go. Why do you think it's only XXL's left over when you get to the sale rack?

I can't wait for my shirt to arrive in the mail. Curse the exchange rate though.

Vertigo, did you find the shipping to Oz to be too high? I've gone to buy off the club shop before and pulled out once they freight was calculated.

Might be worth seeing if Shop and Ship goes to Australia. I use it to shop in the UK all the time and is often cheaper than buying the same thing here, even with VAT and shipping!

Absolutely. 20 pounds, effectively $40 AUD. Outrageous. No VAT thankfully, but still so so much when the price is converted.

Really wanted a home shirt this season, and pulled out myself a few times when I already had it in my cart. Thankfully I'll be getting it as a Christmas gift now

Never heard of that and they don't ship to Australia. Is it basically a third party shipping company? Sounds like a good idea.

It is. They give me a shipping address in loads of different countries and then forward on to me received stuff to my door in Dubai. I thought they'd added Australia not long ago, but I imagined it! Borderlinx and Mybox are 2 others you could check, though they work on that daft volumetric weight calculation, making it impossible to price up in advance. Shop and Ship go by weight only. As an example I can get a 1kg package delivered from the UK/US for about £13. Hate to think how much DHL would charge for the same.

is there no possible way of obtaining one without the sponsor on? are the sponsors logo not printed in store?

i would definitely buy a current away shirt of so...

[General Mannerheim]

apparently not as the logos are put on by the manufacturer. so i thought id go direct to Macron, but it appears we dont exist.... charming!?

That's our commercial teams fault.. You can't buy the kit ANYWHERE other than Bolton central

[Vertigo]

Hurry up and get back in the prem. I want a Chinese version that is easier on my wallet.

Here's a proper Bolton badge for you, elephant and all. 1923 mind, but a cracker.
