I have just watched Good Morning Britain and they have just done a story on Brentford and them keeping the same shirts to save the enviroment . What do Blackpool do ,they give out free shirts to every School kid around the ages of 6 or 7. The idea is to boost support for the future . It seems that this has not been thought through properly. Some people can't afford to take their kids to matches , some kids already support other teams , some parents support other teams and still won't take their kids to matches.
Why did they not make it a free shirt to everyone willing to go to the shop and collect one. Straight away you have targeted the parents that may be willing to take their kids to matches and why not have made it 5 to 10 year olds. I have a grand daughter who I am desperate to take to matches ,but she shows little interest and I am not willing to gamble on spending money on something that does not mean anything to her. The sad thing is that her step sister will get one and it will end up in a bin as there is no interest from that side of the family.
