How does your club market it's merchandise?
Do they have a big range?
Do they make any money out of it?
Teams such as Connacht Rugby seem to have created a brand for themselves, amazing to think that they nearly went out of existence not so long ago.
Do you think clubs push their merchandise sufficiently?
Does your club have a shop separate to the one in it's ground?
The whole merchandiseing of most clubs in the league is about to be revolutionised!
Watch this space;)
No, sorry, we'll need more than that. PM if neccessaryQuote:

I thought Platinum One had the monopoly on franchise football?
(though they can change Derry's crest all they want, the current one is pants)

I'd imagine in Cork's case it was because Arkaga couldn't get the rights to the original one. And if you don't own the rights to it, you can't make as much money from it. Thats why Pats (and Liverpool) changed theirs a few years agoQuote:

Dublin City had the best deal ever. Selling their jerseys as souvenirs in Carrolls. Genius.Quote:

Still waiting to see those figures... (and even at that Dublin City admitted they didn't get a penny form the jersies sold (bar the sponsorship from Carrolls))Quote:
