Did anyone get a promotion shirt?
I couldn't get on the site and when i did at 19.06 all the large size shirts were sold out.
What a joke. You really couldn’t make it up.

Think I completed my order at 7:03 (3:33am).
Received confirmation email at 7:05 (3:35am).

I know that COWS was crashing but the shop site was working okay for me... I must have been right on it because my confirmation email came at 7:03.
My mate was on two laptops refreshing from 6:55 and had a shirt in the basket, but after he put his payment details in it showed as sold out which is a bit sh*t, given that usually when you have an item in your basket online it usually reserves it while you complete payment.

I was unable to get an XL. I tried at 7:15 but they were all gone.

I got a couple of shirts but I would hope it's quickly established that having as many fans engaged and buying shirts is more important than something being called 'limited'.
Some tweets suggest that the odd fan has bought 'wrong' size shirts just to have one, and that can't be right.
Sure the club will get it sorted.

Maybe good news - Steve Cree said the club are looking at it and it depends on how many Joma can supply..

I've got an XXL spare that I've offered to Duds in PM, but if anyone's interested in case he doesn't want it then please let me know. Sandy kindly ordered one for me then I discovered soon after that my brother had surprised me with one as a belated 50th birthday present.
Assuming mine is delivered and Sandy picks up all the shirts he ordered, then please let me know if you'd be interested in taking it off my hands of Duds doesn't want it.

700 sold out but the club is going to try to ensure no-one is left disappointed by asking Joma about stock, according to COWS, which I'm paraphrasing as best I can as site has since gone down with the traffic once more.

I think it's pretty poor by the club quoting 200 as the figure if 700 or more were available. It just looks to me like they created a panic to ensure they sold all their stock.

Won't link because the website is struggling but this is the release:
Today’s limited amount of 700 Champions shirts sold out in 10 minutes – phenomenal!
The unprecedented demand will take us longer than Friday to fulfil, but rest assured we will be working at it non-stop.
Director, Steve Bellis said, “We are humbled by the level of support that our fantastic supporters continue to show. Rest assured, we will do everything that we can to be sure no supporter is left disappointed. This is just further evidence that we have the best supporters in the country, and another indication of just how special this football club is.”
Because so many fans want to commemorate our success with this shirt, we will be asking JOMA tomorrow about stock availability and making an announcement about further sales in due course.

The club did clarify before they went on sale that the reference to 200 was just an example (they said the shirts would have numbers on, e.g. 2/200) but they could have made it clearer.

How many did you order?!?!?!

No, the club released a statement saying the shirts would each have a limited edition number on, and gave the example 2/200, but everyone assumed that meant they were only making 200 shirts and it kicked off. Turns out they did 700 but they still sold out in around 10 minutes. I bought 4, but one is a size smaller than my brother wanted, and the one I got for Gazz (as he was working and couldn't get online) might now be a duplicate.
Suffice to say, I'll offer my fellow Heaveners first dibs if one or more are surplus to requirements, and won't be looking to make any money on them!

No worries.
With the supply and demand factor, I got on there, straight to my size, ordered, paid, happy. No way I was hanging about ordering for friends and family. It was every man for himself!

It's a good job I didn't ask you then! Some of us couldn't get online as we work nights, but I guess it's only right to say "b*ll*cks" to them, hey. Luckily, I've got a good friend like Sandy to rely on and a brother who loves me enough to want to surprise me with one, because now Duds is going to be getting a shirt too. Thanks again, Sandy and many apologies for any inconvenience this will have caused you. The consolation of course being that I had the money transferred to your bank last night, which you'll be hanging on to until Duds gets his money to you, so you haven't been and won't be left out of pocket. I guess that's what mates do for each other!
