Where is the kit?

The current Supporters' Team kit is the narrow Pink 'n' Blue striped one, based on the Hamlet 1920 Amateur Cup & Isthmian League double winning side from 1920. everyone who has seen it from within the Club has said what a fantastic kit it is. Indeed well done to the former management duo of Lawrence Marsh & Andy Tucker for ordering it!

When it was bought a number of fans took the opportunity to buy there own, which a basic eleven shirts bought for the kitbag. However a few have 'gone missing' over the last year or so, and the gaffer Mick O'Shaughnessy has been posting the following request on team emails;

"And a reminder chaps, we appear to be running very low on the pink "n" blue stripe kit. So if you have mistakenly taken some of the kit home with you, would you be kind enough to return it, when/if you turn up to play for the supporters team again. Or even if you don't turn up to play for the supporters team again."

He has done this a number of times now, which-for me-implies that they have still not been returned. Well I am not as much of a gentleman as mick. So let me be more succinct:

HAVE YOU GOT ONE OF THESE SHIRTS? IF SO PLEASE RETURN IT NOW! THEY ARE NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO TURN OUT FOR US TO STEAL!!!

There! Got the message?

If anyone has one can they please return it to Mick, Hutty or Phil Baker,, no questions asked?

(Paul Griffin is excluded in this. I found out that he has the one worn by one of last summer's touring party guests to Tallinn & Helsinki, Dave O'Shaughnessy's one. He has had this since last July, but hasn't 'got round' to returning it yet! Hope that allays some of the tealeafing fears Mick!)
