Away Kit Vote Axed

Last updated : 04 March 2004 By Jess

According to the club, the decision could not go to a public vote because of the club not being able to announce next seasons sponsors in time. However in the past, this has not proved to be a problem so why it is this year, and if indeed this is the real reason, is open to debate.

Speaking of his chance to choose his sides kit for next season, Royle told the Official Club Website: "Obviously as part of the selection process, we have taken into consideration the heritage of the Club.

"We have an excellent first-team strip and the white kit will remain as our third choice until the end of the 2004/05 campaign.

"I can reveal that the away strip won't be a new colour to Town fans. I can't say more than that at the moment but I can reveal that I have a natural aversion to all things red!"
