I wondered if anyone had any good ideas with regards merchandise you might like to see made available in the club shop for the 125th anniversary? A shirt is an obvious one but what else? Have you seen anything in other club shops and wished Barnsley would do it?
So. the club have no idea but to ask the fans That's ok, but we were asking for £125 season tickets. not happening then?
How about some enamel pin badges (Not the plastic coated type that the club seem to favour at the moment). Something along these lines...
Well the club aren' asking the fans, I was but we see some belting ideas on here from time to time so why not ask? As for 125 quid tickets, I don't think the club have looked at pricing yet for next season but bear in mind that if tickets were 125 quid without any concessions we would probably have to sell all the seats in the stadium (inc away) to generate the same ticket income as this season (if my maths are correct) and it seems unlikely we would be able to do that. A sliding scale pledge affair might be a better option e.g. £125 if 22,000 pledge to buy, £150 for 19,000 pledge to buy, £180 for 15,000 etc etc etc (havent done the maths but you get the idea). It would be an ambitous way to reenergise our support in the Quasquicentennial year and its worked for other clubs.
Make the 125th kit the same colours and style as when the team first played. Also rename the club Barnsley St Peters for 1 season (was that the original name?).
Anniversary Russian Imperial Barnsley St Petersburg Stout.........sod it I'm going to open a bottle of Gorlovka
good idea a set of them in a quality commemorative case and each badge depicting a highlight of one of the clubs memorable achievements over the 125years limited edition of course
