When is a statement not a statement ? when its from Southampton FC who have issued the most unhelpful statement in history regarding the new kit.

Saints have just issued a club statement regarding the non appearance of the replica kit in the stores over the past month or so, some Saints fans have been treating this as a disaster tat should be debated in Parliament, although they do have a point about the lack of information given about the situation.

So the emergence of a statement on the club website about the situation initially appeared to be very welcome, however apart from an apology the statement itself tells the supporters absolutely zero other than the club will make another statement sometime next week.

Whether that statement will be built up with a countdown to its issue and perhaps have a funny video alongside it is unknown at present, however in the interests of keeping you up to date we have published the statement below.

"Southampton Football Club would like to apologise to our supporters for the delay in the release of the 2019/20 kit.

We understand your frustration and we’re doing everything in our power to make the kits available to purchase as quickly as possible.

We will give a full update to fans during the week commencing Monday 5th August."

So there you have it, clearly there is going to be a big development in the next few days, so many will not be able to sleep with excitement and anticipation.

LoisDeem added 12:23 - Aug 3 Derek -or was it Clive? Once said: "What a way to run a ballroom." This continual 'stripewash' is obviously what they meant. Other than Ralph, who does clearly have his hands full, the club is clearly falling short on the PR side. They are failing to communicate properly via their usual media outlets, and as a lapsed season ticket holder /member they are now failing to communicate directly with me and mine -pathetic! I am sure they are subscribing to the only communicate when necessary school of thought -but when this relates to match tickets and dates etc they are clearly penny pinching -which many will lazily pin the blame on ex -personnel. There needs to be a thorough cleanse and unsloping of shoulders before it's too late -too many are failing in their duty and not earning their wages -so stop slacking, show your colours /mettle FFS Saints!
