The club’s Head of Marketing, Commercial and Retail Neil Ryan had this to say on the new launch date:

“Having worked hard with our kit manufacturers MiFit we are delighted to have been able to get the new home shirt on sale earlier than first announced.

“We would have much preferred to set an even earlier date but issues out of our control have prevented that, however we anticipate a fantastic response from our loyal fans who have remained patient and supportive during this time.”
