    Ben Mansford mentioned in his interview the fact that they are looking at the possibility of bringing some of these back in house. First thing that springs to mind is Lindleys, this seems a really great idea especially if rugby is coming to Oakwell another stream of revenue coming into the club rather than lining the pockets of a company who seems not to care a toss about customer service. This has to be a positive move we might also be able to influence the kind of goods on offer.

    I think others know more but I think the contracts for a while longer.

    The club shop isn't though.

    Does that mean we're going to have shirts made by some random entity in a warehouse on a local industrial estate? I know the kits we've had the last few years are just off-the-shelf jobs with our logos and sponsor stitched on but I've kind of liked having a actual well-known sportswear manufacturers logo on our shirts than 'Red Flag' or whatever we've had in the past, I'm sure it's helped sales to some extent as well.

    Doesn't mean it can't be broken or terminated early. Offer them a deal and get shut. The quality of produce and customer service is appalling, I wouldn't be surprised if having their 'service' was damaging sales.
