Went into the club shop today to buy lad some city training gear and a hoody as part of his Christmas only to see there is nothing in there unles your xxxl I asked and got told they won't be getting anything else in this side of Christmas. Don't these arse holes want to make any money.

they still haven't paid incester for the last lot of training gear, you know the ones they steamed the king power logo off

So 17 weeks after the break in at the shop there is still little or no stock?

Surely as a matter of business they would have reorder levels etc and would have placed an order for Xmas stock some time in August given such lead times before the break in?. Surely they didn't buy a whole seasons stock in one go?

There is no need to produce or agree designs those will already be with the suppliers you would think?

Never mind about shipping in by sea as part of a larger container what about air freight in an "urgent" situation?

Doubt the club would even have to pay for the stock or any associated costs - wouldn't the insurance pick up the tab?

There are always round it.

what has happened to all this stock that was nicked - because it is a limited market for any stolen goods especially for CCFC branded goods?. Has anyone been caught and charged?

It's poor, isn't it. Anyone involved in business knows how hard it is to make sales even when you've got everything right - to have people wanting to buy things but not have the stock in place is just about criminal.

My gut feel is that like a lot of hedge funds, SISU took a battering in 2007/08, and have been on the ropes ever since. OSB, I don't know if the books can prove or disprove this, but it seems to me that this is when they started to change tack in terms of investing for success, and suddenly started to look at running the club on a shoestring (and perhaps leveraging the arena as a get out).

I don't know what Mr Fisher thinks - but the bottom of the cycle seems to get lower and lower with every week that passes. How much further can we fall?

As worrying as anything about the future of the club, if they can't afford to restock for a captive market.

Oh I think we can fall a lot further in fact I'm sure we can.

I was hoping that a few of the missing items would turn up for sale in one of the less salubrious local pubs I frequent but no such luck.

Terry Gibson's perm · Dec 15, 2014

If they wanted to get the stock or could afford to buy it they could have got it in easily there are loads of places that could have made it locally or in the UK they would have made a bit less but it would be better than nothing. I wanted 3 shirts for my kids but they are not having white ones and the home shirt doesn't look great so will wait for next season's kit to come out just before Xmas next year. As for Scope and the marketing types they must be wearing a mask when they collect their wages as it is daylight robbery!

ollyservetta · Dec 15, 2014

had a email from the club over the weekend about new tshirts and hoodies, shocking situation the shop being empty ,but if they are saying they hav new stock but when you get there it is not on the racks ,well that's just down right ignorant ,how low can this shower of shite get

wal3590 · Dec 15, 2014

Was down at the Academy yesterday and it seems they have had lads who signed weeks/months ago who are still waiting for gear from the club shop. I think somebody is hiding something.

squeeam · Dec 15, 2014

I tried to order kit for my 8 year old son. All that was left in the tops was aged 5-6 years. Was going to drive to the store tonight in case they may have had stock at the store but after reading this I shan't bother.
That is at least £50.00 that the club have missed out on from myself. Can't imagine how much they will have lost altogether.

Terry Gibson's perm · Dec 15, 2014

All Sisu do is moan about lack of income from pies etc and here they have a load of people who are trying to give them money and they have no stock. What a total shambles it is time for Waggot to go and take the rest of the idiots with him.

It was time to go the minute these arseholes moved us to Northampton.

The day they do fuck off will be up there with Wembley, WHL 97 and beating the great Liverpool 4-0, as one of the happiest days of my life following City.

dongonzalos · Dec 15, 2014

I was going to get my nephew a full kit.

He is now getting Barcelona stuff instead
Nike have just made a small fortune out of me. There is a lot of money not getting made here by the sounds of it.

Considering the carnage that has been caused over gaining access to 'revenues' everyday of the year. I find it little short of incredible that the one area where do have full control of access to revenues everyday of the year. We screw it up big-time.

richnrg · Dec 15, 2014

just wait until the new stadium is built. We can sell f*ck-all 365 days a year then.

Malaka · Dec 15, 2014

I had this problem my little un wanted a Cov City bedroom, it is now Barca. Couldn't get nothing for his bedroom. I think that the problem is that you have to pay up front for your merchandise. With a credit rating like we have, would you supply SISU with 10 Grands worth of credit? I wouldn't

wal3590 · Dec 15, 2014

Maybe we add up what we probably would have spent in the shop over xmas and send it over to Mr fisher, I have his working email, my guess it would be thousands as a replica shirt on its own is £35? I guess a few of you have kids you would have spent a small fortune on in there. Instead people are buying kits for the kids of other clubs. They could miss another generation of fans!

Mr Fisher couldn't give a flying fuck though, mate, so why bother?

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Dec 15, 2014

Another massive OG from the club, maybe they are waiting for another load of Leicester tops being returned after Christmas?

I thought making money was one thing they did give a fuck about, obviously not. I've emailed the fat faced frog anyway.

I hope u toad him a few home truths

Terry Gibson's perm · Dec 15, 2014

I guess that I would have spent between £150 and £200 in there on kits and bits for my dad, but never mind the kids can have what they want now instead of what I wanted to get them!

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Dec 23, 2014

Who says they don't listen to fans?

In response to recent criticism about lack of stock and merchandise in the club shop, the club have moved quickly to rectify this.

I've just bought a bottle for my 6 year old nephew as a Christmas present, he's gonna love it.

Nick · Dec 23, 2014

That's a stroke of genius, they have nipped over the pound shop and got a color printer

If it's anything like our defence I'd want a refund as it'll clear f**k all.

Coventry City are today promoting branded screenwash but are out of home shirts. A new merch low, even for us!

skybluetony176 · Dec 23, 2014

Well that explains why Tim was quite for so long. Someone obviously put a sample on his desk for approval and he just couldn't stop staring at it.

Nick · Dec 23, 2014

I don't get why the players were there today, yes is good to have them.meet fans but why with no stock?

wingy · Dec 23, 2014

It's the wrong colour .

I prefer my screen wash Skyblue.

Looks suspiciously like rebranded Leicester City Screen wash to me .

Even if Puma can't supply shirts, which I find hard to believe, it can't be hard to find some random Puma stuff that's blue and stick our badge on it. Or even non Puma stuff. Suggests a cashflow / credit problem to me. To be fair I'd want cash up front off SISU!

I'm pretty sure it's pound shop rebranded

wingy · Dec 23, 2014

did anyone get the email the other day offering energy plans through a partner company .

Still got my MBNA credit card I signed up to when we first moved to the Ricoh.

wingy · Dec 23, 2014

Then I thought of this .

The Peckham Spring episode of Only Fools and Horses

I didn't get the email, heard something at the game about somebody sponsoring it to do with energy partners though.

Is there a Halfords nearby? Maybe it came out of their skip!
