Just been down to the club shop to try the new home shirt on for size. I say shop, the actual shop is shut for renovations. I thought the temporary shop might be the old portacabin but now it’s basically the size of little more than a small outbuilding of about 12ft by about 8ft.
Anyway I asked to try a shirt on, guy in front had just tried one on and was trying a different size, I asked what size the one they were putting back away was and was told it was a 2XL. I said can I try that on and was told no, you have to buy before you can try…ridiculous if you ask me. On further discussion the lad said because of the ‘shop’ layout ( or lack of) the insurance wouldn’t cover me trying the shirt on in that location.
Asked if I had a season card, produced it on my google wallet….no good, have you got your client reference number.
Wasn’t the greatest shopping experience, never before anywhere been asked to pay for stuff before trying things on.
My point being that shirt launches/sales usually occur at the same time of year each pre season, which idiots decided it was a good idea to sell shirts out of little more than a hut and shut the shop without having a decent back up plan in place. It’s obvious people want to try things on, it’ll be chaos on Saturday pre game if they continue with the palarva we went through today.
About as organised our our tactics from January onwards last season
