Can I take a moment to address a question that keeps on coming up about why we do what we do.
People ask why we make no profit but make donations and even give things away for free.
My answer is simple.
Why not?
#ItsNiceToBeNice
I have been asked to do this one and I am pleased to say we can.
Like all the other retro shirts these are now on pre-order for mid November delivery
When they are sold out we might do another batch for mid December.
Get in quick if you want one though.
Pop over to @ClubMerchandise for yours and plenty of others too.
'It's a thing of beauty'
'Worth the wait'
'Great fit, incredible quality'
'Best top I've had since the Umbro years'
These are just some of the comments @ClubMerchandise has received about these and other retro tops.
All are now available to pre-ordrer again in support of @MCFCfoodbank
The first of these are going out from @ClubMerchandise tomorrow with more the next day.
Any new orders will be printed and posted from the 15th November.
These awesome shirts have already raised about £70 in support of @MCFCfoodbank
Thank you all for your incredible support ;-)
Whilst you lot are watching City @ClubMerchandise have made a couple of more small donations
The £20 to @TheChristie comes from sales of our Sidebottom / Sievey t-shirts which I reckon would have pleased the man himself.
The £25 donation to @MCFCfoodbank comes from the last sales of the retro tops.
Thank you all for your orders.
Well a review has just landed that all at @ClubMerchandise love
And @liamgallagher should too.
We've quoted his words and people love the t-shirts
And we've donated the profits to @WeAre1894 too
Everyone is a winner

A new product over at @ClubMerchandise in support of the awesome Speak Your MND Foundation
Anna and Martyn are Manchester / Salford legends and I am so pleased to have been working with them for over a year now.

I'm thinking of doing these @Erling t-shirts with all profits going to Manchester Children's Charity
They would be £23 inc' delivery
Would anyone want one?

OK, because of the delays in getting @umbro kit and me not wanting @ClubMerchandise to leave people hanging for retro shirts in the future I used several hundred of my own pounds to order lots of the shirt style in lots of sizes.
A simple plan you would think.
Alas, nobody is ordering them now so, even before I receive those shirts I probably have no need for them!!
I hope you lot rediscover your love for these as otherwise I am in for another telling off.
Sadly it seems that far too many people cannot divorce football from what really matters.
And so @ClubMerchandise is not selling to anyone other than City and Boro fans
I do find that to be such a shame as the whole idea of @ClubMerchandise is to make a difference wherever there is a chance to, in a completely non-partisan way
Your belly isn't empty because of who your team is.
Your cancer does wear a clubs colours.
Your MND diagnosis didn't arrive on a team bus.
So we do what we can when we sell products
@ClubMerchandise is the epitome of a passion project kept going by volunteers, including me, that makes the tiniest of difference but at least it makes that tiny difference
And I bet this post gets almost no views because rival fans don't like anything good about the City fanbase.
