Knights grand final merch sells out in minutes

Online Knights merchandise sold out by midday Tuesday, with queues forming at the stadium store.

Knights fans desperate for grand final gear lined up around McDonald Jones Stadium before 9am Tuesday, hunting for red and blue to wear for Sunday's match. The official online store sold out within minutes of opening at 9am, and many fans found their size gone before they could complete their checkout.

By midday, the store went offline with a message saying customers had shown up in a big way but stock was exhausted. The Knights announced a restock of shirts would arrive at the stadium store Wednesday morning.
