That all seems a bit odd. Rangers signed a contract with Elite / Hummel but the court sacked it off saying it 'was undertaken without giving Sports Direct a chance to match it' so Rangers then went off and signed a deal with Castore which is apparently fine.

Feel like there's some details missing there.

There’s too much non football stuff going on for me to care about this one if I’m honest.

Edit: the details and court cases and due diligence wash your face circle back follow up on Monday bollocks.

Obviously it’s a shit one for anyone who’s ordered stuff.

 

[skybluelee]

Not surprised

GK kits went out of stock in June and still had fuck all back in. Along with some sizes of the home and away

Piss poor really

Yeah, I've been trying to get my girls' shirts printed since August and still being told they don't have any print in stock. Shambles.

So is the club shop at the CBS now closed??

Yes

Elite Sports Group have called in Administers, looking for a buyer.
Store will be closed until a buyer is found.

Looks like Close bothers finances have called int he admin today. Last week one of the directors also filed for it

Hopefully the club shops are in the club's name and not theirs.

Although, the stock might not be.

 

[JAM See]

Does this mean that people who don't use the internet can't buy tickets?

I've been down there a few times to get tickets for away games and it's always been busy.

Not according to Westendlad who went down today.

I'll have a mooch tomorrow, as I'm down that way anyway.

Will also give an update to @shmmeee on the sign situation.

 

[Nick]

You would think they can just open the ticket bit on it's own.

don't think they run the ticketing side do they, just happens to be in the same place. Might take the club a few days to get something sorted but sure they can get tickets back on sale soon and I doubt there's going to be a queue of people with games weeks away.

 

[shepardo01]

More lost revenue for the club!!?
All the potential Christmas purchases gone......

My boys are going to be gutted- numerous kit items on birthday and Christmas lists.

 

[Sick Boy]

It's still possible to buy tickets for games, isn't it?

 

[Tile Hill Phil]

I got two tickets for Reading this afternoon on line would think you can still buy tickets over the counter its not merchandise you’re buying.

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

I was there this morning,bought tickets and a shirt. Ticket office and shop open,no one said anything about closing.
Think it will come as a unpleasant surprise for the staff.

 

[shepardo01]

If you could let us know the state of goings on, that would be great!
Cheers!

This is my @Otis train tickets isn’t it? It’s never going away.

The badge and certificate is in the post.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Let's hope we get a new broom in charge of merchandise. Its been awful for years. Literally 10 times more items for babies and dogs than for womem.

Never hear anything about womem - this group always miss out.

We went late yesterday morning, the ticket collection window was open to purchase tickets but the shutters were down on the shop. The person at the ticket office said the shop staff had been told to shut immediately but no idea why. Feel for those working in the shop it must be a worry!

So yes you can still get tickets at the ground.

 

[chiefdave]

Hope we don't end up with Fanatics, the most consistently shit service I've ever known.

Lack of stock and when they do have stock the prices and shipping are way too high. not to mention it's a gamble if anything will actually turn up after you've ordered it. On more than one occasion I've ordered something that is on their site as new and in stock only to get a mail 2 - 4 weeks later saying they can't fulfil the order. Pre-ordered some of the England cricket World Cup gear the tournament was virtually over by the time they got round to emailing to say I'd never get it as they hadn't manufacturered enough.

To give you an idea of just how bad they are they have the license for the hockey team I support. Currently I can only buy a jersey that they no longer wear with a team logo that was changed 2 years ago. But at least I have a choice of two players who both left in 2020.

To try and be positive we will have a shop open again at some point so you'd think the same people would be employed but obviously they'll be worried about getting any pay owed and losing hours while the shop is shut.

 

[larry_david]

Thought it was utterly bizarre they've had no away shirts in stock for weeks now

 

[Saddlebrains]

Feel for the staff at the club shop, they're always happy to help and polite, and they always stop and talk City. Seems like they are genuine fans of the club aswell, and an awful time to lose a job 1 month before Christmas.

I hope the club can keep them on in some capacity even if its some admin work or something just to get through to the new year at least

 

[Seamus1]

Is the shop at West Orchards also closed?

They took over the NFL Europe/UK store and I swear the prices doubled instantly on most things there

Same with the NBA Europe stuff. Prices hiked, Old jerseys stocked with players that have since left.

What a clog and a pump setup. Ffs does anything work properly for us?
