Quote: Yob "I don't think the limited shop space is as much of a problem as the limited number of fans.
I think there may be a minimum order quantity that the suppliers will be asking for and if you want more than one style of shirt/jacket/vest/pole, that's when the problem of cashflow pops up.
IMO we aren't seen as a big enough club these days to be able to call the shots with the suppliers.'"
I was more referring to the lack of space, things cant displayed to the best or have space to walk around and therefore an uninspiring place where people tend not to look around to see whats new. I have to admit i have only been in the shop once and that was recently, due to getting my shirts for christmas, it just has never drawn me in.
I understand everything you said regarding min orders/cashflow etc... and it is a problem with every small retailer, having been involved in a small retail shop for the past 17 years.
We do need more supporters that may buy stuff from the shop, and with things that are happening with regard to the offers and season ticket sales maybe thing are looking up.
