LIMITED EDITION SHIRT BREAKS ALL RECORDS

The International break last weekend has put Evertonians into a purple haze following the announcement that the club is to introduce a new, limited edition purple shirt.

The shirt has been introduced by Everton and retail partner Kitbag Limited to help raise over £100,000 for the Club's charitable partner for the 2009/10 season, Liverpool Unites.

Since the announcement last week evertondirect.com has been inundated with pre order requests for the limited edition shirt. Ray Evans, Managing Director of Everton’s retail partner Kitbag said: "When we launched the new Everton Le Coq Sportif home kit in June this year we were delighted to break the Club record for the best selling shirt launch. However, we have been astounded by the response we have had from Evertonians since news of the shirt we have produced for the Club's charity of the season was released. Pre orders are presently running at three times the level of that of the new home strip. This is fantastic news for Everton and its chosen charity.”

The new shirt will be seen for the first time in public at a special charity dinner to be held at Club Everton, Goodison Park on Thursday 29 October 2009 from 7.30pm. The shirt will be available the following day, 30 October from Everton One, Everton Two and evertondirect.com. The last remaining tickets for the exclusive dinner are available from Tom Woolley from Liverpool Unites on 0151285 8400 or tom.woolley@liverpool.com priced at £100 per person or £950 for a table of ten, which includes a three course dinner and complimentary fine wines.

I usually only pass on selected hospitality events because I think these are more of interest than say, "There are still tickets remaining for the Wolves match...."

But I thought it might be an idea for you all to have a say on what you would like me to pass on.

Everton related press releases - yay or nay.

I say all of them, but keep then to a little stickied section or something. Just so we can check shizzle out. Clearly they are selling stuff most of the time, which im sure none of us would mind, as long as the Club makes some cash, well as long as it aint BILL!!!!!

Its up to us if we buy the stuff, sooner or later somebody might pick up something they want.

I will defer to the mods' discretion. It's in your own interest to thin the herd of posts etc...less work. We're all lemmings - we'll read whatever is posted.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

Yeah maybe have 1 stickied thread in here for them and update as and when, if they are only occasional it shouldnt be too much hassle.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Rather keep the stickied threads for match threads and other important stuff though lads, otherwise it can get clogged up there.

 

[Cahill's Metatarsal]

It's up to you but I think you should post them all. They're easily ignored if people feel the need to & I'd have a quick scan through them all to see what they club are doing to try to bring in some funds so you might as well post them

 

[Whitebootman]
