There's an article on the club site about the winner of the name the nag contest and it quotes the winner as saying that there will be a new club shop open next month.

This true does anyone know? and where will it be?

exciting times hopefully it will be on the salford precient but i wouldnt be unhappy if it was at the stadium

Why? I've never been there and it doesn't look inviting so whats the attraction. Do you have to pay to park there?

Doubt the shop will be anywhere other than the new stadium, would be a good idea if though the club did from time to time went out into different communities with a supply of stock and maybe players and tried to sell them to a new audience.

I'd personally like to see the club work on the association with ASDA Trafford Park and the Weatherspoon outlet next to Chill Factoré. Both have heavy footfall and I'd guess the club would have nothing to lose and only things to gain from trying to promote themselves more.

I couldn’t think of a worse place to have a club shop.

I use to love going in that small shop when i was a kid. I use to beg my parent to take me on Salford so could visit that every week.
It would be good in some regards to have a shop presence like that somwehre but on Salford maybe not these day. It would be much better if they could get a deal done with a supermarket to stock or even better a small shop in the trafford centre.
could you imagine the foot through from not only our fans, but you often see other rugby jerseys floating about in there so you would attract other fans who would nosey just out of interest. You also have prime positioning within one of the biggest centres to advertise the club to death if so chosing too. If ever money should be thrown at something this would be the best way.

the club also need to get better merchandise on offer. One of the main draws of that old shop was the variety on offer. Posters, cards, sticker albums, different tops, even other items such as shoulder pads. You offer the same things like that and it will sell. I know because my son has already put on his Christmas list to santa that he wants these very such items.

It'd be great if we could have a section in a few supermarkets, and of course a place at the stadium. The Trafford Centre would be great too, but also super-expensive I imagine.

Of course it will be at the stadium, vast majority of sales are on match day. On line purchase (if we can sort it out) is the way forward. The club are now firmly based at the stadium with training and players facilities all based there, so makes sense to have your retail outlet there.

How about taking advantage of our business partner, Peel, and opening a place at the Lowry Outlet? I say that every time I'm in there. In terms of generating a positive image, surely an increasingly popular outlet situated at the increasingly popular Quays is something the club could benefit from?

Meh, I'm no expert on such matters so happy to be told why not.

What's the foot fall like in there these days? Does it get busy? Not been in for years.

It looked at one point like a massive white elephant but when you go now it's very busy.

Did think the other day if the club could maybe look at trying to get the RFL to part fund an outlet in say the Trafford Centre? they can peddle all things RL in general, tickets and promote the game and we can have all our gear and with the Docs smarts I'm sure that would bring in new bums for the empty seats but also maybe attract some corporate interest too.

Far busier than it was but I wouldn't describe it as busy, per se. With continuing development in the area, surely it can only get busier?

I've always thought if it lost its 'outlet' tag it would be more successful.

I'd go with that.
