Fan base doesn't mean anything in terms of turnover if your 'fans' don't spend money on club products. What proportion of Rag supporters have ever spent money on merchandise that the club receives any cash from, I wonder?

But in this digital age with clubs having Facebook accounts and the like, the more clicks/hits they get on these sites the more revenue will be generated. Fans in Africa or Asia might not buy much official merchandise but they will register and use digital technology

I agree with other posters that Nike is shit and good riddance . Be good if Puma just stick with our iconic red and black stripes and Purple away kits plus obviously a proper upgrade on our laser blue / sky blue whatever its fucking called home kit . Most of them kits Nike came up with were utter dross imho
Not really here
Fuck VAR

I'd settle for something that was unique to City and not, as other people have said, our version of a 'one pattern fits all' template.
Not much to ask really.

I knew that was you before I even looked.
You and I are probably the only two people in the world sad enough to know what Krupps non cemented armour was.

Apparently our Nike contract doesn’t end until 18/19 season. So we’ve got another season of Nike FFS!
