They were delivered to the club today so will start being posted out early next week. We ended with just under 300 orders in total which is great and means we’ll be donating nearly £600 to the Countess!

Are they still available to purchase from club shop 😷 I think they were made to order? could be wrong but i think that was the general idea at the time. However i've a strong feeling we may end up re visiting this when we are allowed back into grounds, i think it will be mandatory. So maybe the club could relaunch this.

I missed the boat on these regretfully. Now the wearing of them is becoming mandatory I hope we do another run.

The shop has ordered 100 more masks which should be in stock within the next fortnight and will be sold on a first come first served basis. Please follow @shop_chester on Twitter and @chesterfcretail on Instagram for updates.
The club have chased delivery on the Ribero shirts and will be updating later via email and social media I believe.
All stock items can be purchased via the website chesterfcretail.com

I don't have twitter is there no way we can just order one ? thinking about that some years ago the club shop had a stainless steel watch for purchase and I never got my hands on one. I would love to see the club bring that idea back or if anyone has an old one for sale let me know.

I would love to see the club bring that idea back or if anyone has an old one for sale let me know. Watches seem a great idea, but currently we are constrained by cash flow. To go out and spend £500 on watches for stock currently is something we are unable to do. We will add it to the list though for when money becomes available. When the face masks come into stock they will go live on the souvenirs page at chesterfcretail.com . I will comment on this thread to let you know when this happens.

Regarding stock & cashflow, is the issue due to us needing to order large quantities to keep costs down that would then tie up funds? If so what do other clubs do about this? There must be some way round it.

Yes to buy bespoke stuff you have to factor in design and tooling costs so its better to buy in bulk. The problem is worse at the moment because presently we have no other income. When the season is up and running and the club has other revenue coming in we will be a bit freer to take chances on stock. The other problem is you buy a load of stock in and it doesn't sell and you are lumbered with it and end off selling it off as a loss. Some things are no-brainer stock lines (scarves, hats, caps, button badges, key rings etc) that don't have an expiry date, some are essentials (shirts, kit, training kit) which does have an expiry but properly managed is profitable; and some stuff you take a chance when you can and see if they fly (beach towels - flew; hip flasks - not so much, etc). Striking that balance is key. The people who run the shop are now very experienced and have a good idea of what sells and what doesn't. The shop has consistently made decent profit every year, regardless of performance on the pitch.

I was gutted to have lost the detachable faux fur bobble off my black bobble hat with the golden wolf crest - I now have a bobble hat with a button on the top and nothing to attach. Don’t suppose there’s any loose faux fur bobbles knocking about in the corridors for a fiver?! 🤣

I get that and understand the risk the club takes with merchandise and appreciate the effort people put in, like you say it maybe something for the future with the new crest on 👍
