Tim Southampton Rover Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 I went into Chelseas shop yesterday (I did the tour of the ground whilst in London) and they have 2 floors of pure Chelsea stuff. From a football fans point of view, it was amazing and only Man Utds megastore is probably more impressive and I know we would never have a massive audience to sell Rovers kits to but we used to have a great store in the 90s which had quite a classy design to it as well. If we can't get the shop back then we need to improve the online shop because it's totally rubbish and doesn't actually sell anything but a few kits and training gear. We need more tackiness and we need more cheesiness! How can I impress the girlfriend without a Rovers double duvet ffs!

MCMC1875 Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 No doubt there's a clause in the contract between Rovers and SWI that prevents this from happening. I can't see why anyone would defend the club shop in its current state. OK, they have some Rovers clothes, but what about the fun stuff you could always buy as gifts? Key chains, mini shirts, car stickers, mugs, DVDs, books and the like? Correct me if I'm wrong but I can't see any of this in the club shop. There are plenty of businesses that wholesale/supply/source promotional products like these eg 4CX.
roversmum Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Oh dear. The old club shop. The thought of it and the dreadful shop/merchandise we are stuck with now brings tears to my eyes
Jan Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Maybe we'll get lucky and it will be hit by a firework and burn down.
CAPT KAYOS Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 His and hers Rovers thermal underwear? Don't know about thermal, but I used to have some boxer shorts and they worked for me ... if you know what I mean
Sandiway Blue Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Dare I ask you to elaborate? Oh dear, as much as I love Rovers, I couldn't bring myself to wear footy underwear! We should have a poll on this... In favour... Especially with a pic of roar on the front of briefs!!

We should have a poll on this... I don't think so .. . In fact coming to think about it could do with trying it on the wife (hasten to add I no longer have the said boxer shorts)

Sandiway Blue Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Just think, if Bumley brought out similar underwear it'd hide skiddies... Back to the club shop issue... come on Williams, get out of this bloody SWI contract! I'm having to cope with a fecking Tesco clubcard keyring here! Could be worse......... it could be a dingle keyring!
yoda Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Could be worse......... it could be a dingle keyring! You mean a NORI
mattjansen Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 If i remember correctly someone set up an unofficial store a while ago but i cant find it, anyone remember?
RoversFanUSA Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 Could be worse......... it could be a dingle keyring! Dont you mean a rock tied to a string?
Manchester Blue Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 My Dad went to the club shop on Saturday all very excited and looking to buy lots of Rovers related baby stuff for my new daughter who was born on Friday, you've got to start them early after all!! Sadly Rovers don't follow this line of theought as there wasn't a single item to be had. I can remember seeing loads of stuff like baby grows, bibs and the like. The staff were very pleasant but said that these days the shop didn't do things like that. What a waste of space that shop is.

Flogging a dead horse I'm affraid, they'd be better turning it into an off licsence so you can buy a few tinnies after the game!
laughatthedingles Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Arty? Someone please find me a picture of Arty, he was brilliant!! He retired I believe after it was discovered he was easily put off balance by kids!

deryck guyler's spoon Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Someone please find me a picture of Arty, he was brilliant!! He retired I believe after it was discovered he was easily put off balance by kids! A walking badge isn't very imaginative. Birmingham however, once had a blue nose on legs! Genius!

Backroom trueblue Posted November 24, 2007 Backroom Posted November 24, 2007 Any news yet on the 'store coming back to Rovers' thingy ? Surely the contract with sportsworld (or whoever) can't be THAT hard to get of ??
roverthemoon Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 The 2008 official rovers calendar selling at play.com for £5.00 post free. clicky
Hannah Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Was watching Soccer Am yesterday and they were showing off different things from different club shops. It really rammed home how awful ours really is! The best thing was the Ipswich Town Toaster! Not only is the casing in Ipswich colours it toasts with the letters ITFC on the bread! How great is that! I may be asking a lot but wouldnt that be great! A rovers toaster!!!
1864roverite Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 I take it then there is only crap on salw in the store at the moment ?
