Des the self-styled "King of the Casuals" sweeps the board as far as "RLFans Made Up Fact of the Day" goes for the forseeable future with this beauty of a statement.

Do we have to have a thread like this every year when the shirts get reduced?

No, it isn't. No-one is forcing you to buy them! Alot of fans love getting the new shirts, certainly they provoke plenty of discussion on here! And enough fans buy them to make it worthwhile

Indeed. Part of the excitement for the new season for me is when the 'new kits' thread appears on the Virtual Terrace!

It’s a total rip off the way that RL clubs change their tops every season. They should at least do what Soccer clubs do and keep them for two years minimum. The problem is that RL clubs need the annual income but what they fail to realise is that the fans don’t have the wonga to splash out on a new home shirt that is in fashion for 12 months then gets reduced after 6 months!!!

Its crazy!

I believe we should change the kit every two years but stagger it so one year the home shirt is changed and the following year the away kit is changed.

A novel idea would be that the away kit on year one becomes the home kit in year two. especially this year as many people said the away kit should have been used for the home one.

I think thats a great idea, Paul Younane has suggested something similar in the past.

Do you believe this approach would be revenue neutral/increase revenue to the club?
