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?

If you had spent thousands on a 2020 range, as most people who run merchandise shops did before covid hit, you would not be prepared to chuck it to one side and spend thousands more on a new range. Come on Martin, you can't keep comparing everything to Poland. If it was your money, you wouldn't do it. But its easy to waste other peoples.

Having been in the printing and sign trade for over 10 years, I’m well clued up on printing costs and materials etc. £99 for something like this isn’t expensive and you won’t be making much on it I doubt. It’s only these large companies who get everything mass produced and printed in China that absolutely kill the canvas market. 

That said, the actual artwork for that canvas looks awful and abit of a mess with everything blurred together.

That's true mate, image wise we can use actual photos as opposed to cartoonising the design if people prefer that.

Starting to sound like that line in the Pink Floyd song "If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding".

So there we have it...no new product ranges until the investment in the 2020 stock has been recouped. It doesn't matter what people want, they'll get what's offered to them, whether they want it or not.

Would there not be a copyright issue using photos?

There was a time when you used to see a photo salesman with a large board outside the turnstiles selling all manner of home and away riders photos, and a selection of rosettes, badges.  sadly don't think any of the current English clubs have enough fans interested in spending money on merchandise to make it a viable proposition. 

What I have seen of "merch" in track shops has generally been pretty poor quality. Have to say I do have a decent baseball cap from Kent Kings track shop.
