internetjef Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Hello all a friend of mine is in town for weekend and wants to pick up a city scarf as a present for someone. is there anywhere in town they sell City merchandise she could get one? Or will she have to go to stadium? (Or buy online store/eBay of course) ideally she would like to find a shop in the centre (cabot/broadness etc) and pick one up there. i don't think we have a shop anymore, but wondered if anyone new if we had a stand selling stuff in any of the other shops? any help would be appreciated cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never to the dark side Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 You can have one of my scarves if you don't have any luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 No, she will have to go to the City store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 The only thing we’ve had in town for quite a while was the halfnhalf scarf sellers. The shop at the ground is the only place and will be open today and Saturday (match day) but not Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfOfWestStreet Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 You can buy every single premier league/european football strip in Cabot circus but a Bristol city or rovers kit? Good luck. Very sad really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I think it will be something we might do if we ever get to the Prem. Villa used to have an outlet in the centre of Brum but when I was there for the snowy weekend before Xmas it was closed down. I think we like to keep our kits etc exclusively sold at our club shop as that way we can keep all the profit ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disgraceful. Maybe, one by one, day by day, we should go into JD Sports and ask if they stock City scarves and if not why not. Grind the barstewards down. Then again maybe the club doesn’t allow them to be sold in inferior retail outlets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Don’t really understand why we would need a shop these days in the centre. Most people buy online, or if they do want to go to a stores 95% of customers would be visiting Ashton Gate anyway. Would be a loss maker. Shops are very expensive to run, commercially we should be selling shirts to retailers though the likes of JD sports though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 As I've posted before; York Tourist Info Centre (between The Shambles & the Minster) sell York City scarves & shirts. The P'boro' TIC (in the centre of town) sell PUFC scarves & shirts. Does Bristol have a Tourist Info Centre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having our own shop would be expensive, but how about a spot in Sports Direct in Cabot (Is that still there?

Bristol Rob Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 There is probably an argument for a Bristol Sport shop at Bristol Airport. First and last place you visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grab a shirt, four different poses in the passport photo booth, upload using those outdated £20 for 15 minutes Internet PCs. Sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveller Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 The JDSports idea has often occurred to me. Presumably though, it’s all down to negotiating margins and how much profit that nice Mr Ashley would require. Im sure Bristol Sport would rather sell direct and keep the profit, rather than subsidising Newcastle Utd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
