Planning application has been put in. Looks like it will be replacing the Anecdote.


Wow!

Have you got a link?

Looks a big, expensive job!

Because of the position (next to the away end) it isn’t as usable on matchday as it would be by the casino

 

[pusbccfc]

The reflection in the window shows the casino but the location on the map is where the current shop is.

Looks like they'll be doubling the size of the current one?

Is this the one? It looks like the location is the same place.

 

[Domo]

Althought i do like the idea of a retro section

Yeah i was thinking the same thing as you can see the steps.

 

[rexo87]

it looks terrible and temporary where it is at the moment. This proposed one looks quality and exactly like a championship club's one should

 

[SBT]

Hope they’re not losing The Anecdote, probably the best option for a pint outside the ground. (No complaints if they get rid of all the rugby branding in there of course)

 

[pusbccfc]

Almost certain it's in the same position, just a lazy drawing!

 

[Alkhen]

Fancy, needs doing, the current offering is very poor.


fecking hope they're not planning to combine the ticket office with the shop tills as suggested in above. that would be chaos of match days

 

[Nick]

The permission is only for the signage etc rather than anything else?

 

[pusbccfc]

I see they've used pictures of Hamer throughout

 

[ccfcricoh]

Hamer on the posters in the planning pics - he must've signed already!

 

[ccfcricoh]

beat me to it!

Annoying they only appear to stock one size though

The render shows glazing above the new frontage so can't be same location.

Looks like it is being moved to where the wasps shop was?

 

[fernandopartridge]

The permission is only for the signage etc rather than anything else?

It might be the only bit they need permission for, if the work is happening within the existing unit. It's already got permission for use as a retail outlet.

 

[Ashdown]

When is the new away kit being released ?

 

[fernandopartridge]

The map does appear to show it in the South East corner, l have a feeling there is an error on the visual tbqh

 

[Frostie]

The permission is only for the signage etc rather than anything else?

Yes. It's the existing store just being refitted. Think some people have the wrong end of the stick.

 

[pusbccfc]

Yes. It's the existing store just being refitted. Think some people have the wrong end of the stick.

It's clearly twice the size?

 

[fernandopartridge]

It's clearly twice the size?

Some of the existing unit is behind a blank wall i think? So they're installing some glazing there instead?

 

[San Francisco]

So they're replacing the Anecdote then. Is it because there's nowhere else to put it or because the Anecdote doesn't make any money?

 

[Saddlebrains]

Yea we need a new superstore to stock all the new home and away shirts that weve got in stock.......................

 

[Saddlebrains]

All seriousness though its another step in the right direction, fair play Doug

 

[sotvtoday]

Fitz Hall?

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Starting to feel like a properly run club.

 

[San Francisco]

And the retro section is full of last years kit. Hardly "retro" mind you.

 

[Frostie]

It's clearly twice the size?

The application also calls it a 'refit'.

If it was replacing The Anecdote it would need a change of use application rather than just a change of signage.

 

[skybluepm2]

Extending the existing - if possible - would make far more sense. I can’t imagine Fraser’s would be happy to sacrifice the Anecdote unless it’s losing its arse, which given the price they charge for a pint, I doubt. It’s a great spot on match days, especially in winter to escape the cold

Did the Wasps ‘superstore’ ever open its doors before they went Kaput? Is that now just redundant space? Could also be the alternative.

that location plan is the existing place where the shop and ticket office is at present
its not the anecdote
