    Away kit!

    Why oh why do we wear a change kit away from home when there is no colour clash? It appears now that it's policy to wear a change kit for every away game. Against Sheffield Utd. there was more of a clash with us wearing the black kit than if we'd worn navy blue and white shirts and white shorts. Both sides were wearing black shorts!

    I realise it's financial but there is absolutely no reason for a third kit either just as long as the change kit is completely different colours to the home kit. I want to see us playing in our club colours as far as possible and please next season can we revert to proper stripes.

    I’ve been moaning about this for a long time; it’s not just us, almost every team does it now, in my opinion, it disrespects the heritage of a club to abandon traditional colours for money. I assume it’s the kit manufacturers that call the tune on this? I find it very annoying and as many of you will know, I am not easily annoyed…….!

    Yeah its ridiculous and an insult that clubs do it more now, just for a few extra quid from sponsors or manufacturers etc.
    We won for the first time in years yesterday lol, but one thing that still bugs me is the opposition wore a different than normal kit for no good reason.
    I always wondered why your team sometimes wore the yellow n green when they visited us, because both of our teams home shirts don't clash at all.
    Just change to navy shorts and theres no problem. And normally we'd change our shorts to red or black when visiting yours. Simples!. 😇

    Fans should boycott third kits and refuse to buy ANY kit that doesn’t adhere to club history.

    Horrible pieces of tat anyway, £3 of garbage sold for £50.

    F u c k I n g rubbish.

    It must just be me but I quite like all three of our current kits. Whilst I would like to see the blue and white more often for away games using the second or third strip in its stead doesn't bring my bladder extract to the boil.

    As for supporters getting ripped off it's quite easy. Keep your money in your pocket. I do. Those away days don't pay for themselves. Millwall on the train was my last one and Hull will be my next one. Both 3pm kick offs on a Saturday, now there's tradition for you.

    COYB 😎 .

    Rest easy everyone. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know we'll be turning out in the blue and white stripes for Saturday's away fixture with Luton Town as confirmed in the pre match notes on the official site 😊 .

    I prefer to lose traditionally.
