a4poster 82 Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Following on from the success of TeamGB in the Speedway of Nations I visited the TeamGB website in a view to purchasing some merchandise - http:// https://shop.gbspeedwayteam.com/ - I was surprised that most of the items were/are out of stock. On the Monday following the on track success I contacted them via email to see if they would be having any new stock in? To date I have had no response. I keep checking online to see if the shop has been updated but alas no. Surely following the on-track success the people involved in running TeamGB are missing a trick by not trying to cash in.

uk_martin 1,606 Posted November 9, 2021 I guess that most of the stuff is sold out because it was the 2020 range. Daft as it seems, (and even more unbelievably) there doesn't seem to be a 2021 range, let alone a SoN Winners range. Still, this is British Speedway, what do you expect?

I did look at buying some merchandise to wear when attending the SoN, it was sold out then, I didn't comment on it but am now... so you can make that 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SharpenRake 1,505 Posted November 10, 2021 Wanting to buy something at a match is different from setting up a mail order system for a team that only has a few outings a year. Poland v GB scarves sold very well at Glasgow but that was a souvenir of attending the event. I can't see them being worn at league matches. A market was identified, a supply made available, they were sold and presumably a profit made. Job done until the next one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You think a a mug and some reduced stock they couldn't shift in 2020 is 'getting it right'? With it being nearly Christmas and them being crowned World Champions I was looking for some present ideas but sadly not. They are seriously missing a trick here.

Not at all I'm sure a Glasgow fan would be only too happy to purchase a scarf on your behalf and post it to you, obviously with an administrative/finders fee + p&p 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Point me in the right direction then, if you can find me someone who does metre square printed canvases for under 20 quid I'll send you a tenner for everyone we sell as you'll be saving us a fortune.

Why does the Peterborough canvas have neither Ulrich or the Premiership trophy in it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
