Tinternetman Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Just got the Oldham v Liverpool scarf for Sunday from the shop. It looks great and the shop is open from 9:00 to 15:00 on Saturday, Spotted they have special mugs on sale as well. Quote

The club have 27 official coaches going on Sunday if you can't buy merchandise on Sunday, the club and especially the marketing and commercial dynamic duo need their heads looking at. Quote
OAFC_Ryan Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 The club have 27 official coaches going on Sunday if you can't buy merchandise on Sunday, the club and especially the marketing and commercial dynamic duo need their heads looking at. So basically people who have just found out have from 9-12 tomorrow to buy merchandise? Our marketing department baffle me at times. Quote
rudemedic Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 So basically people who have just found out have from 9-12 tomorrow to buy merchandise? Our marketing department baffle me at times. They might but I'm not certain hence the use of the word if Quote
LaticsPete Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 So basically people who have just found out have from 9-12 tomorrow to buy merchandise? Our marketing department baffle me at times. They were both on sale on New Years Day at the Shrewsbury game ....... Quote
dec666 Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 I would be amazed if the shop isn't open before the coaches set off on Sunday. There will be 1500 people getting on coaches, massive opportunity to shift a few of those scarves. Quote

RoyleArmy1994 Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Been some time since I got a coach to a latics away game. Are they still behind the chaddy on that gravel? Quote
RobOAFC Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Been some time since I got a coach to a latics away game. Are they still behind the chaddy on that gravel? Houses there now. Last time we went to Anfield they left from the car park Quote

There will be 1500 people getting on coaches, massive opportunity to shift a few of those scarves. After telling people they will be able to book til midday today without fear of coaches selling out (this was implied by being told they would just keep booking coaches till the deadline and have one coach left for any surplus) sure enough midway through the morning they sell out and can't order any more. I'm not one to have a go at the club but this has pissed a fair few off having to make last minute arrangements. Not the end of the world but better communication along the lines of 'we might sell out so get here earlier/book sooner/get back up plans' rather than make it seem so cast iron coach spaces would be available. In relation to your post i wouldn't hold your breath. We are so :censored: in customer service at times it's laughable. Quote

But surely people have had long enough to book their seat on a coach? Quote

Oh definitely but as i say when you have been assured not to worry you will get seats, coaches will be put on till the deadline regardless of how many are needed, it shouldn't matter when you book? If you set a deadline, by its very nature, some people will book near to it. Quote
laticsmarra Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 However, today is the first day any publicity has appeared about them. They were announced and shown at half time at the Shrewsbury game but I suppose everyone that is going to Anfield couldn't get to the Shrewsbury game. Quote

yarddogs Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 I was in the club shop the other day providing your size small or medium you should be reet Quote

astottie Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 The extra coach has never been to accommodate booked fans. It's there in case of breakdown and follows the last coach. Against Everton it was summoned on the slipway of Jn 20! Quote
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Just got the Oldham v Liverpool scarf for Sunday from the shop. It looks great and the shop is open from 9:00 to 15:00 on Saturday, Spotted they have special mugs on sale as well. I'm really sorry, and I mean you no personal insult at all. But if it's one of those 'half and half' scarves you really need to be tarred, feathered, chucked in a barrel and rolled off the Civic centre. A blight on modern football. At least tin foil FA Cups and :censored:ing huge stovepipe hats have a sort of cheap charm about them. Quote

It's quite similar to the ones they were selling last year if you are on twitter or Instagram there is a picture knocking about of it. Quote
