LaticAttack Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Have I missed something? What is happening with the club shop? I know they have had a sale on but I thought that is all it was but its nearly empty. I enquired about whether they were waiting for new stock and was told its shutting down (and she had been made redundant!). I would have to wait for an announcement of some sort and she did not want to talk about it. I wasn't aware of it going into the new stand and if it was surely stock would transfer and there wouldn't be redundancies. I am confused!!!

Gaz_Oafc Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Supposedly sports direct taking over the running of club shop and opening a unit in the new stand. Part of the new sponsorship deal that includes shirt sponsorship and manufacturer, possible stadium renaming ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeroyboy Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) If memory serves me correctly the present deal runs out at the end of June, hence the run down of stock. I expect there will be a fanfare when the new sponsor is announced, especially if it is linked to a sports retail unit in the new stand. Don't press the panic button yet - but by all means keep it handy. Edited June 14, 2014 by mikeroyboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShireBlue Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Looking forward to seeing the new shirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyGortonsMatches Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I popped in mid week and was surprised to see such scant stock. I had money to spend, but ending up spending just £2 on a old junior kit that theyve dug out from 2005/6 !! If there is a new shop in the stand surely that is months away, in the meantime they are going to attract next to zero income from merchandise. I wont be back again till a matchday.

Magic Mikey Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) The worst thing this club ever did was drop the name 'Latique'. Woof. Who's going to set up the poll? Worst thing Latics ever did: Dropping the name Latique ⊙ Not providing bacon butties for the Liverpool ticket queue ⊙ Any other heinous club crimes that need to be added?

broady 29 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Why redundancies? The staff have been great in there for years. Especially Michelle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsPete Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Why redundancies? The staff have been great in there for years. Especially Michelle. I think it will be because the club ie their current employer , is closing its shop. Therefore their role no longer exists. The new shop is being run by another company.

ghostofcecere Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I don't suppose there's anything stopping the current employees applying for jobs in the new shop, and I'd like to think they'd be looked favourably upon. Whatever happens, I hope they all find work again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SavageTheBeast Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Set to close and move to the north stand whenever that will be. Still no mention of a new kit. This club is a farce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostofcecere Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 We've heard this week that the new stand probably won't be finished for a while, so what will happen to the shop between now and then? I guess Sports Direct will just use the existing shop for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddySmoker Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Set to close and move to the north stand whenever that will be. And there will be a £30 admin fee to go in in because the facilities are so much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
