I am getting CASTORS on the front.
They have to be publicly held to account by the club at this stageIt’s all been said before, but there really isn’t any excusing stuff like this. This is a company that’s representing a football club with a turnover in the tens of millions and they are making these mistakes. The marketing has to be on the ball, JD every mistake will be jumped upon.
When I send a Mailchimp to my 500-odd subscribers, I triple check every section on the email to make sure there aren’t mistakes.
Why have I got higher standards than the kit manufacturer to one of the biggest football clubs in Europe? Realistically, what avenues of complaint do we have with Castore, and what contract breaks are there in place? There hasn’t been a single month in the relationship with Castore that has been free from shocking product quality, withholding refunds or some other nonsense that you’d expect from a stall in the Forge.
I haven’t and won’t give that outfit a penny. I’ve never been impressed with their products and this just confirms how half-arsed they really are. If this happened at the other place, we’d be laughing our heads off.Castore being Castore again.
Yet we’ll still have people defending them and making excuses…
I'm assuming those calling Castore cowboys, amateurs, wideos, chancers etc that need binned asap for this (plus throw in Bisgrove and the board too) share the same opinion on Jimmy Bell for his Roofe/Roffe error last season ..?
Seriously, the reaction to this is far more embarrassing than the actual error itself.
I'm so glad the rest of the support aren't as gutter level as you are when it comes to basic expectations.I'm assuming those calling Castore cowboys, amateurs, wideos, chancers etc that need binned asap for this (plus throw in Bisgrove and the board too) share the same opinion on Jimmy Bell for his Roofe/Roffe error last season ..?

So Jimmy Bell out then?
Jimmy Bell making one mistake (that I'm aware of) isn't the same as Castore's continual mistakes.
I agree but the thread/op is literally about a spelling mistake on a shirt though mate. Just trying to point out the overreaction.
Both are mistakes - Bell's is actually worse if you think about it as he sent a player on the pitch with it - but In reality theyre both nothing more than small errors, both slightly amusing, although I wouldnt say that to Jimmy's face haha and genuinely not worth getting worked up about.
But guess that's just my gutter low standards as I've been politely informed.
Such an angry forum at times over the most minuscule things.

I think the point is that it’s the umpteenth mistake they’ve made. There’s no point in gauging the reaction to the latest one as though it’s an isolated incident.
And the issue is, Bisgrove doesn’t care about the issues with Castore because his eyes have turned into pound signs. Not a problem the majority of the time and it’s great money is coming in but you can’t let the quality of products turn into a farce and believe me, it is a farce. Even at club level.
On the deal as well it should have never been agreed as long as it was. Especially when we are very possibly going to be playing Champions League football two seasons on the bounce. Manufacturers more suited to a club like ours would be throwing themselves at us now.
