I normally get a couple of items but think ill give it a miss this season! £32 for a training top - no thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be prepared to pay some more for having paid a lot already during the past dour seasons, now the board will try to squeeze the pips. The PR department is sooo on the ball.

Daphne 0 Posted July 4, 2011 When I went and picked up my shirt order, I was told they are cutting down on the counter area as it takes up too much room. Also they are changing everything to promote Errea - they aren''t allowed to sell last season''s out of date kit in the same shop! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or that only the Polish and Germans are efficient workers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keep The Faith 0 Posted July 4, 2011 Does anybody else out there think the same as me? ie. The premier badges for the shirt sleeves that the club shop are selling are smaller than the ones that the players wear? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was saying if they did, the queuing to get into the bloody shop would take longer because the window shoppers would hang around more.Apart from that I haven''t a clue what you''re babbling on about? Polish & Germans???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I take your point that some might "loiter", but surely some of the loiterers will then spend some dosh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know modern shops use air con, but most don''t have chuffing great queues of people trying to navigate through them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harry 0 Posted July 5, 2011 Modern shops may have air con but they are busy 6 or 7 days a week whereas the Canary Store is only busy for a few hours on match days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
