What would people want to see in the club shop?

One thing I’ve noticed when going to games in Germany, even at smaller clubs, is the range of T=shirts, hoodies & jackets available in the club shop. All in a variety of designs, featuring the badge, famous moments in club history or famous things about their town or local culture. Much more interesting than just sewing or ironing a badge onto a generic polo top.

Apparently, Borussia Dortmund sells a toaster which toasts the club crest into the bread and plays the club anthem when the toast is ready. Now I would definitely be interested in a Scunny version of one of those!

I don’t think that’s fair, if you recruit properly, by advertising the position, interviewing a broad range of candidates and having a clear idea of what you want from them and what you’re going to do to help them achieve that.

What’s the crack with the terrace? I can’t imagine that will be opening in the early post-Covid stages, are they selling season tickets for that part of the ground?

As I said in my first message, it might be difficult for the club to react quickly given the staffing situation but I get the general impression that these sort of opportunities have been passing us by for some time.

Shirts not available early enough, a tired-looking range of souvenirs in the shop. I’m hopeful though that the Macron gear will be an upgrade, not just the shirts but the other clothing.

Fans are always keen to hand over their hard-earned, just give them an excuse!

Good stuff Porthleven, shame that the club isn’t taking advantage of what seems to be a gap in the market!

“You’re excluding The Iron from that generalisation of course?”

Depends. 2009 wasn’t bad, nor was 2014, other examples are however available!

“Not fussed, the downs make the ups all the better, when they eventually arrive. :-)”

Agree with that, relegation is massively overrated in football. The following season is almost always more fun.

I would say if you sack a manager within the first one-two years, that’s generally the fault of the person hiring that manager.
