I'll have a look for you Grant - I got a load of home gear for one of my nephews, so I'd be surprised if its all gone.

Mmm. WE could only get away kit and training tops; as you say home kit seems thin on the ground. I've got some home kit but it's hand-me-downs from a couple of seasons ago.

SOftie, has your nipper arrived yet?

There was tons of it in the club shops in January. Though maybe with the Tyneside baby boom there's been a run on it? ;-)

Grant,

I'll have a look in tomorrow. Dunc you forgot to mention that it was top quality hand me downs.

Toon baby-gear has been removed from the shelves. Instead, it has been added to the players' bonus scheme. What else can explain the number of players with bairns on the way?

Grant, My latest (grandson) who is 7 months now is decked out in home romper and jim jams, also sent a batch over to Galway two months ago, All my stuff was ordered out of the catologue and the spring edition received a while back is shown as still stocking the items you mention. Buff

"I'll have a look for you" says Softie - classic stuff, [on the pi$$ with Screacher, priorities!] ;-))

I did notice about a week ago the online club shop was still selling the home babygear for babies on sale. Checked today and it is no longer on sale, or indeed for sale. Glad I got the works for my unborn (due July) whilst still available.

Obviously there's been a baby boom on Tyneside! As with Buff, I got my second daughter's sleepsuit via mail order last autumn I think.

Interesting that the baby gear's so popular. Branded from birth, that's us. Actually branding irons might sell quite well too ;-)
