Is this your 'subtle' way of suggesting the club should use your store as a merchandise outlet???
Nope, already been made clear we aren't suitable

Common sense still seems to be in short supply wi some things sherry.

You're "not suitable"? Can't think of any outlet in town which would be MORE suitable. A well-run, attractive outlet staffed by a diehard Stanley fan and another person who is sympathetic to the cause...already proved their worth by what they did in the SOS campaign... a prime town centre location, right by the bus stop for the service up to the ground. It's perfect!
Which numpty made this decision?
kind of odd , its obvious Lancsdave has a working internet connection , and he seems to have more of a business accumen than the site shop .........two years later after my original post on this site about on-line sales I would still like to buy a "replica shirt " and have it shipped to my grandson in Germany and pay for it with a visa/mastercard card issued in the US ........why is this so difficult ?

does anybody know if the store is open today?
Brilliant. Absolutely soddin' brilliant. Closed on Christmas Eve, at the time when shops are full of people looking for gifts. And they can't even buy any Stanley stuff in town because Dave and Stanleymad's store (which I'm sure was open today like any reasonably run retailing outlet) is deemed "not suitable".
Things are improving at Stanley, but they've still got a long way to go!

Sorry if my statement was misleading, we have never been officially told that, we are working on assumptions. Offering the club free space, free staff and and a no-commision sale basis with no take up can only lead to one assumption. Strangely enough the club were more than happy to have conversations about it when we had something they wanted earlier in the season.
We are but a minnow in the world of corporate relationships. We couldn't even afford to sponsor a match. However I can assure you that if we ever get big enough to do that it's not the first place we will go to. I know there's a history of bad form between the club and local businesses.I can see why now.
Some people will be reading this and calling me bitter but as the person who was working until 11pm on the Friday night before the first game of the season to make sure the team had the correct kit to play in, I do feel a tad annoyed at being used.
It annoys me even more when I see lost income to the club ( even if it's only a couple of quid ) yet thousands of people made every effort possible to make sure those odd few quid helped save the club. If the club doesn't want every penny it can earn then all that effort by all those people was wasted.
We were one of the later shops to close at 4pm, been very busy, only a couple of requests for Stanley stuff today though

Noooooo, she just had to go and get her own because I was busy. I was thinking of buying her a new shirt but couldn't find anywhere to get one today

...which isn't surprising, as now that Ossy Mills Broadway branch don't have a Stanley section, there's absolutely nowhere to buy our stuff in town. Unbelievable!
In all seriousness, Dave, I think your longer post above well illustrates the lack of commercial acumen that still persists at the club. I hope Ilyas reads this and kicks some backsides!
Dave, great post! You and your good lady, did plenty in our "Hour of need" yet this seems to have been forgotten??? Thanks for what you have done and I hope to see the club, take on board your offer!!!Sorry if my statement was misleading, we have never been officially told that, we are working on assumptions.

We don't want singling out, my good lady especially ( I think you meant Mel but I was confused by the term lady
) just wants to see the club do well.

Although the club shop was closed to day,Mick Schultz has been running round like a blue arsed fly today between the club and the Embroiders to make sure orders have been met ie jr kits and adults replica shirts.and other stuff.. Mick has many rolls to play in stanley and this is just anotherone of them!when i asked him why you and not someone else at the club doing this today ,he said its for Stanley!! this guy is an unsung hero in my book well done mick and thanks pal
Quiet day for Mick if he was only running around doing one job
You would think the sportswear companies would have in-house or sub contract the embroidery to make sure it reaches the club in a finished condition.
