Selred Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 The worst thing is even the Gas has partnered with the Terrace and have a great range for Xmas presents. We really lacked for stocking fillers this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which CEOs would you refer to as examples of your "decent football CEOs" at "successful clubs at this level"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveller Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 This has to be the one main issue that went hopelessly wrong during the redevelopment. The idea that we had no site for a decent shop - when we have huge indoor areas behind three stands - is amazing. Presumably the concourses were left deliberately empty for non football hirings.

I still have my Dziekanowski t-shirt from back in the day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nest Egg Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Bring back the Megastore I'd say! Especially considering all we would need to do so is a lorry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intention was to increase off field and non match day income, biggest conference space in the West Country I believe. Not sure if the plans have changed, but there was talk of a "mega" store on the new Basketball complex. Makes sense all under one roof with one lot of employees.

jambodinho Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 I ordered a training top in the 30% off sale on Monday. This morning I’d still not had an email confirming that my item had been shipped so I emailed them for an update. The response was pretty quick saying “Sorry but we are out of stock in that size, would you like a refund?” Seems they were happy to keep my money in the hope that I’d forgot or something? Poor that I had to contact them at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 My lad wanted a Bears away kit for Christmas, but could only have the shirt as his Grandad was told in the shop “we don’t sell the shorts”. It’s baffling how poor the retail side of things is. I can get a collar for the dog yet I can’t get a branded boot bag for my girl, or a golf umbrella for myself.

Dastardly and Muttley Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Went in for the first time in a while recently, as I was taking my young son and wanted a souvenir. The offering is dire. Nearly all the shop is taken up by shirts, split almost equally between rugby and the women’s team. The “pocket money” items are non existent. Anything smaller, eg caps and bottles, are placed in the queue, so you have to push past people to look. As someone else said, this is the one thing that the Gas have better than us. Their partnership with The Terrace looks great. We really need to be exploring avenues like that too, although The Terrace probably take a hefty percentage.
