Are they still £4 thoughI don’t use the catering facilities very often at Wolves but I had a sausage roll recently and it was a taste sensation! Like something from those posh services on the M5 at Gloucester!
They deserve to sell **** all of the rubbish....This surely cannot be happening? If it is then wow.
That would be ok..... Looking forward to a purple Wolf...Apparently it’s Nike
Yeah, probably something like that.Are they still £4 though
His profile pic is him getting out of his mini plane. Paid for by ****ty dust filled pie money no doubt. Jesus.
Gloucester Services are amazingAre they still £4 though
Which is weird as the signage in the SBS says PieTanic.There’s a special place in hell for the person that sources our pies.
I’d have taken the fiver, put it in my wallet and when he asked for the £2.50 told him I didn’t know how to do that and anyway it’s only £2.50 mate.Had a weird experience in the North Bank last season. I bought a coffee and they charged me for two. I explained the situation and the lad in the kiosk just shrugged and said, "Sorry we don't do refunds and I don't know how to work it anyway." So I asked to see a manager and the lad replied, "Come on mate, it's only £2.50!" I tried to explain that you can't overcharge people and not give them their money back. A manager came in the end and couldn't work out how to do a refund. So I told him just to give me the cash. Then he pulled a fiver out of his wallet and asked me if I could give him change. I said I'm sure you can get some change from the till and he said, "Oh yes, of course." Felt like I'd wandered into the Twilight Zone!
Can we get the firm that does the pies for Burnley, the meat and potato was gorgeous.There’s a special place in hell for the person that sources our pies.
Sounds like leisurewear but we’re probably daft enough to let them make the shirts too.Levy Ventures into Sports Merchandising Market

Are they actually going to be making the shirts or just the leisurewear? Presumably this is the end of Castore at Wolves?
RumourIs that a rumour or something more firm?
Gloucester Services are amazing
That doesnt explain the lack of moisture inside. My Villa supporting mate reckons its the same supplier for them and they too think they are crapWhich is weird as the signage in the SBS says PieTanic.
Now I've had Pietanic pies at a festival and they are amazing.
Which leads me to believe that our genius catering staff are more of the problem.
Surely it's not impossible to reheat a pie without burning it solid to the tin, completely drying out the pastry...
It sounds like continuing the current model of manufacturing under license.Sounds like leisurewear but we’re probably daft enough to let them make the shirts too.
Bang on.. stinks of “stuff what the fans think”The one where they say they’re going to start making tat to sell in the club shop.
I can’t believe anybody in charge of making decisions at the club have gone “you know what, they’ve done an amazing job with the catering at Molineux, how about we get them to make **** to sell in the club shop”
It is I looked on the levy web siteThat doesnt explain the lack of moisture inside. My Villa supporting mate reckons its the same supplier for them and they too think they are crap
Yeah a nice gold kind black kit, just the badge and maybe the city crest on the back of the collarLevy website is all wolves pictures so this is obviously happening
Whoever posted about Nike is just teasing
Depressing
Only way I’d forgive it was if there was no manufacturer logo on the kit - just club badge
But no chance of that - sigh
In between the corporate and marketing nonsense speak, they mention the ethical nature of their operations, so hopefully not, although ethicality is a fairly subjective topic.People are getting properly confused here over what Levy's roles are. If you take 5 minutes to look at their structure you can see they have a large range of brands in their portfolio including Keith Prowse who I've used for corporate events in the past, and have deals for providing hospitality and catering at all of the top venues in the UK and overseas. They don't just make the pies, in fact they don't make the pies at all which is why you get a different one at Burnley than at molineux. Pietanic supply Wolves and Villa. I imagine Levy try to tailor the product for each club and do bespoke deals with suppliers accordingly. (Hopefully they get the message re the quality of the Pietanic stuff which I agree is poor). This part of the levy group is separate from the merchandising arm which Clarke has been brought in to lead.
Whether the same model will be used by Vinny remains to be seen. The implication from the merchandising section of the website is that they will design, manufacture and supply both pro and replica kit and training wear. They also refer to an established global supply chain, which raises questions. Is this supply chain the low cost sweat shops who will bang out the kit under brand (Levy or other) or is it one of the actual brands. And how is this partnership model "established" if Wolves are the first club to be part of it?
I can see us working with someone like Levy for ‘merchandise’ but it terms of manufacturing the official kit, this would surely be (and should be) a proper brand.Levy website is all wolves pictures so this is obviously happening

Nepotism.How's this slug still got his disgusting mitts on anything to do with this club ?
Oddly as someone who doesn't often eat a pie in a ground these days, I also had a 'meat' and potato pie at Burnley. I can only think you had the meat that was allegedly in mine. I don't think they were Holland's which is my usual motivation for all games NW!Can we get the firm that does the pies for Burnley, the meat and potato was gorgeous.
I think that's what'll happen. Apparently Clark wants to "ensure a partner first approach" which suggests working with another brand.I can see us working with someone like Levy for ‘merchandise’ but it terms of manufacturing the official kit, this would surely be (and should be) a proper brand.
Been saying for ages we should have town crest on collar, Black Country flag would be cool tooFrom my perspective, the merchandise in the club shop is poorly designed. Tops, jackets and hoodies etc, things that the club can control manufacture and distribute fully and therefore probably the gear with the biggest mark up and profitability, they are just not appealing.
It's a right old hodge podge of stuff with little coherent theming. For those that don't like to wear a football kit, I'd start with a set of tees, polo's and hoodies, in a fixed set of colours with just the club badge and a manufacturer logo. Then you could do a set of the same with a graphic twist for a bit of variety.
The club seem to have done some good work on the design of the "One Pack" branding, but there's nothing in the store that you can buy to support this.
Some of the LA Wolves items were quite nice but too overpriced and a bit of a missed opportunity.
Finally, why can't we inject a little originality into the team shirts, we're missing a chance to add either the Black Country Flag or City crest as a detail on the collar. I'd love to see the three leaping wolves sized-up and used on the change shirt (of which we only need one, and in white) and if we ever should need another change shirt it should be the perfect opportunity to do a limited edition,with all proceeds going to charity or the Foundation.
You're spot on about exploiting the brand, but having the three wolves or town crest near the playing kit would confuse the brand. I think there's a place for retro and there's some mileage in things like the surprise collaboration with Umbro, I'd like that extended a little and would definitely buy the 1980 lambswool umbro club jumper if that came out.From my perspective, the merchandise in the club shop is poorly designed.
