The Batman Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 The shop right now is the worst I've ever known it. Was it just a few years ago they sent out a catalogue? It had those onesies in it and a load of leisurewear etc. I always go in when I get to a game, I've got mugs, retro shirts, a dressing gown etc. I'm not alone in that I want to spend money to support the club so will buy this type of stuff. Granted it could be because we've changed the badge and then tweaked that design (the eyes have changed recently), but as others have said, it should have been stocked by now and they're losing out on a fair few sales. Last time I went in it was just the new kit, playoff t shirts and a load of left overs from last season's training wear. Whatever random sizes that were left. I've taken my Nephew in there twice in the past few months and we've left empty handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernOwl24 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 The club shop has been rubbish for ages to be honest. All they need to do is look at what American Sports teams offer and do the same but put SWFC and/ or the badge on it. Even go around meadowhall and take a look at things. They need things that kids will want after every match like bobble heads/ power pods? For SWFC players. Kids would love it and collect. Even some adults would buy them. There are so many things they can chuck the badge on and charge an extra pound or two and fans will buy. Its really not hard to order this stuff in I just think the people in charge of the shop have lost passion and you can tell that by the way it looks. So out of date I rarely go in there.

I'm sure they also know the funds required to establish it so that supporters don't find a need to moan about it. I reckon they're prioritising other things though like the first team. So much will happen should we go up including the shop, it must be difficult as things stand as anything they order has to be sold. SOR doesn't work in the football world and knowing our fanbase as we do we don't like to part with our cash. That is why we still have S4 cases in there etc, it's easy to say give it away when it's not your business Edited August 1, 2016 by Ash76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolsterstone Owl Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Club shop manager needs to spend a day in Man Utd shop. They know how to do it I'm afraid. DC was in shop yesterday so he knows what its like. A good club shop can bring in £2 million a year in profit.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRADDO Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 The shop is a shambles. I'm surprised DC hasn't put someone in charge and be all over it. It's not happening at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew_Owl Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 They should have done something about it over the summer, change how it looks, get new stock in which can have something for everyone, could have done that for the big kick off on Sunday. Opportunity lost for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shirts on the larger side this time round. Last seasons I managed a medium, but this time round I'll definitely be getting a small. Our lass also dropped down a size for first time ever (she always buys mens SWFC shirts) Edited August 1, 2016 by smhouston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the white shirt would be a wearable solution but it's not even on sale. Blatant ploy to inflate sales of the Ipswich kit, to move to it long term.

Southernblues Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 We were up in Sheffield for a funeral last Friday and arrived early, so I popped in to the shop to have a look around, thought I might buy a polo shirt for golf Not a great selection of anything apart from the home kit and on sale items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long have we been saying that the commercial side of the club needs completely re-organising...five years, ten years ? DC has brought a new commercial manager to bring that into fruition so no doubt he realises that too ! How quickly after his appointment do you expect Joe to turn things around given that it's been poo poo for ten years...a month, six weeks...if people think they can do this within a shorter timescale then they are wasted on here and should offer their services to the club...if the club had no intention of revamping the commercial side of the club then there is cause for concern but that clearly is not the case.
