I suspect online orders go to maximum 50 a day with around three/four hours work. Barcode logistics delivery the Rovers online sales order. It's irrelevant to the shop opening or closing who does the deliveries. Your assumption about numbers of staff picking orders might be right, we don't know but if there are two staff picking orders why not put them behind the counter and serve customers? They still have to heat the place and turn the lights on so there is no energy cost savings. As is usually the case it makes no sense apart from moving to an online ordering service and effectively closing the shop to the general public. 2 Quote

Rovers's online orders won't be massive like hundreds of online orders daily but around new shirts/clothing out on sale, black Friday sale, and Christmas time otherwise I would be shocked if it more than 10 a day in online orders otherwise outside those events above. I'm agreeing the Shop shouldn't be closed on Monday at all Quote

No the complete opposite, I think Club Shop should be open 10am-4pm Monday to Friday, match day at Weekend 10am to 6pm then non match day Saturday 10am to 2pm. I used to go in on Monday once a month. Now can't. I can understand their reasons whilst disagreeing with them and given the shop has a couple of staff in there for online orders and ticket sales, you might aswell open it for their shop opening hours Quote
arbitro Posted December 14, 2024 Posted December 14, 2024 https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2024/december/13/rovers-stars-spread-christmas-cheer-/ Some excellent work here from Rovers staff and players. 3 Quote
Mattyblue Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 £10 a ticket offers for a weekend game work a treat, see Watford last season as the latest of many examples… so the club offer £10 for a Tuesday night in January and you can’t even buy one for yourself. Another masterstroke from the brain trust down there. Quote
JHRover Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 Does this apply to Coventry fans too? If so good news for them, they'll sell loads at that price. Rovers will do well to shift 500. Midweek, TV, loads of other games in the run up to then, and of course the usual strings attached to purchase. Quote
tomphil Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 Surely it shouldn't apply to visiting fans as well if only ST holders can get them for the home sections. After suffering two big Coventry followings in the last 2 seasons and constantly seeing them slagging off our support, seemingly oblivious to the fact they have one of the worst % to population ratios in the country it'll be refreshing to see a more modest number this time. 1 Quote
Penwortham Blue Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 Went to the Rovers shop today specifically to pick up a few things for Xmas. Got there at 14:00 to find the shop in darkness and a sign on door saying, closed at 13:30 today. Just as I was turning around and muttering expletives a lad with his son turned up, he had checked advertised opening hours before setting off from Clitheroe. Typical of Swag’s running of this once proud club 😡 3 Quote
Mattyblue Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 Come on nobody goes to the shop on a Tuesday (even if just before Christmas) Get it closed. 3 Quote
Upside Down Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 They really are as thick as they come down there. Quote
JHRover Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 Apparently the staff Xmas party this afternoon. Would have been nice to tell people the shop was closing before they spent the afternoon driving there/back. Quote
DaveyB Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 In fairness to the club they did announce that they would be closed (I knew and wasn’t planning on going down) This was in an email I got last week And this was on the website yesterday. In a similar vein, I went to a coffee shop earlier today, had arranged to meet someone to talk about something for work, only to find it was closed early because of a private function - it’s frustrating, but I guess it’s something that happens at this time of year (whether it should or not is debatable, I’m just making the case that Rovers aren’t unique in this area) 1 Quote
... Posted December 18, 2024 Posted December 18, 2024 How are people meant to buy a half season ticket and seat when seats are taken up in general ticket sales. Does a half season ticket get you the same seat for all remaining games? If so then how can you choose if all the seats in the preferred areas are gone? Two of my mates looking to grab them together and is proving tricky selecting a seat near my ST when there has been a couple of spare seats most games Quote
Upside Down Posted December 18, 2024 Posted December 18, 2024 You can just post this in the fans forum thread or the season ticket thread. You don't need to start a new thread every single time you want to post something. 2 Quote

Mattyblue Posted December 18, 2024 Posted December 18, 2024 Noticed this thread has now been renamed ‘Half Season Tickets’ from FF. Perhaps it should be renamed ‘Rovers Commercial Thread’ or something as it does seem to cover all sorts. Quote

Two of my mates looking to grab them together and is proving tricky selecting a seat near my ST when there has been a couple of spare seats most games Buying half season tickets will give you specific seats for the rest of the season. Your mates’ situation is clearly an issue which we will not have had for many years. One, because half season ticket sales have been mostly poor for a good while. And two, this year we have particularly the Burnley game but also the Sunderland game where one off sales will have already filled lots of seats in the Blackburn End and the JW. I would speak to the club and explain the issue. They will be able to see what seats are routinely available near you even if not for the 2 games above. They can also sort out seats for you altogether for the 2 games if that’s what you want. 2 Quote
scotchrover Posted December 25, 2024 Posted December 25, 2024 Apologies if this has already been posted, but I’ve recently bought an 1875 ST club membership. Does anyone know how to get to the points (from the purchase) added onto your account? Quote
