Our Merchandise
The club aim to provide a range of quality merchandise for the benefit of all supporters:
- The Club will introduce a new home replica strip design and a new away replica strip design each season.
- The length of sponsorship contracts may not always make this possible. In the instance of either a new shirt sponsor or kit manufacturer the club reserve the right to launch new replica kits before the existing kit lifespan has expired.
- Details of intended change of strips will be available from the Club retail outlets and on the web site as soon as they are known
Returns & Refunds: The Club offer refunds on merchandise, deemed to be defective, purchased in its official retail outlets in accordance with its legal obligations.
Merchandise returned for other reasons will receive a full refund if:
