If we have to take the large order of strips, then couldn't we find some clever strategies for shifting them. I don't know what the mark up is on a football top but if we were able to see regular offers on items such as Buy One Get One Half Price - say a home and an away top, giving away a free scarf with each top purchased, spend £50 quid and get £5 off, £100 quid and get a tenner off etc. If these offers were for one week only, or for first 50 customers, then people would have to commit that week if they wanted it and it would get people into the shop (where they might spend more money).
A pop up shop (manned by ST volunteers perhaps) in town or up at big Tesco is another idea with Christmas coming.
Wouldn't it be great to see people all over town with ICT shirts on like in 2015.
