a4poster Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Following on from the success of TeamGB in the Speedway of Nations I visited the TeamGB website in a view to purchasing some merchandise - http:// https://shop.gbspeedwayteam.com/ - I was surprised that most of the items were/are out of stock. On the Monday following the on track success I contacted them via email to see if they would be having any new stock in? To date I have had no response. I keep checking online to see if the shop has been updated but alas no. Surely following the on-track success the people involved in running TeamGB are missing a trick by not trying to cash in.

uk_martin Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 I guess that most of the stuff is sold out because it was the 2020 range. Daft as it seems, (and even more unbelievably) there doesn't seem to be a 2021 range, let alone a SoN Winners range. Still, this is British Speedway, what do you expect?

I did look at buying some merchandise to wear when attending the SoN, it was sold out then, I didn't comment on it but am now... so you can make that 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpenRake Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 Wanting to buy something at a match is different from setting up a mail order system for a team that only has a few outings a year. Poland v GB scarves sold very well at Glasgow but that was a souvenir of attending the event. I can't see them being worn at league matches. A market was identified, a supply made available, they were sold and presumably a profit made. Job done until the next one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think a a mug and some reduced stock they couldn't shift in 2020 is 'getting it right'? With it being nearly Christmas and them being crowned World Champions I was looking for some present ideas but sadly not. They are seriously missing a trick here.

Not at all I'm sure a Glasgow fan would be only too happy to purchase a scarf on your behalf and post it to you, obviously with an administrative/finders fee + p&p 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any canvas can be adapted to your unique design to make them a one off, riders added, removed etc or we can make you your own totally bespoke design.

a4poster Posted November 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 Still nothing. Even items celebrating victory are non existent. You would have thought with Xmas approaching they would have tried to cash in but I fear they have missed the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
