Quote: Sporties "You don't a year round shop in the town centre anymore with the new club shop.
But it would make sense for saints to do a few deals with retailers to sell match day tickets.
Even tickets sold from the bus station info office or the lottery kiosk in the hardshaw would be helpful in the week of the match.
However a pop up shop just for December and maybe Jan sales stocking the brand new kit and last years over stock would make sense especially with the number of empty shops currently available.
Outside of match days it is now destination shop like the old club shop. And on foot its a trek. Outside of the season there is much less need to go.
A peppercorn rent in return for Player PAs, joint marketing etc around xmas could be mutally beneficial for whichever arcade let them set up shop.
There are a number of pop up retailers in the town centre this xmas taking advantage of the empty premises and increased footfall.'"
One of the pop up shops 'The Calendar' shop in Church Street were selling Saints official Calendar in the build up to Christmas. I bought one from there to save me trailing over to the Stadium shop.
