Their's actually very little in either shop, unless you are looking for triple xxxx, stock hasn't been arriving for months prior to administration.
Sportingtouch a Nuneaton company who supply SBTC with Hummel kits have been struggling to supply many order's for months.
Read the club post
No, not yet... wondering if we will actually get one??Anybody had a dispatch e mail regarding there orders ?
Oh great all mine are Xmas PresentsThe deal for the stock is still being finalised as far as im aware
You may not get a dispatch email. The online shop is probably an Elite Sports system the club don't have access to. Good chance they've just been given a printed list of orders and are working off that.Just hoping I get a dispatch e mail later or overnight
they've had to put in a new payment system as Elite Sports were running the shop and its not working at the moment, being sorted 'as soon as possible'Any explanation of why it's cash only?
Any explanation of why it's cash only?
If you still want one you can order them online:I was going to go into the shop after the game today as I wanted to buy a programme as there is an article in there today on walking football. I forgot to buy one before the game but didn’t envisage a problem with the shop. Unfortunately, the shop was out of bounds straight after the game as the infamous barrier was in place and you couldn’t get through. I spoke to the stewards manning the barrier and was told there was no access until the away fans were away from the stadium. I took this to mean, at least on their coaches.
I understand safety has to be the primary concern at any event. I also understand that the morons who don’t know how to behave properly have caused measures to be taken. (Whether the ‘measures’ are correct or over the top is another matter).
It seems that the club is being forced to take actions that cause it to economically shoot itself in the foot. I’ve never seen another club where you can’t get into the shop immediately after a game. We waited for a few minutes but with no sign of the barrier being moved, we gave up and started for home. How many other people will do exactly the same, head for home instead of spending money on the club.? There has to be a better system surely?

They could fence off the bottom part of the ramp and put in another one at the Exit allowing fans to enter the shop from the stairs.I was going to go into the shop after the game today as I wanted to buy a programme as there is an article in there today on walking football.

Ah, didn’t know this. Seems a bit strange, Coventry City shop doesn’t sell Coventry City programmes.Every point you raise is totally valid
FYI moving forward, the shop doesn’t sell the programmes so its probably a good job that you didn’t continue to wait.
Not surprising though - it is Coventry City after allAh, didn’t know this. Seems a bit strange, Coventry City shop doesn’t sell Coventry City programmes.
We've had this discussion before but it seems everyone but the safety group can see the stupid fence causes more problems than it solves.They could fence off the bottom part of the ramp and put in another one at the Exit allowing fans to enter the shop from the stairs.
There is always a way if you really what one.
Just move the existing fencing they already have, would cost you nothing but might get you an extra few quid.
They really have no clue how to try and make some money.
Even before all this the choice in the shop was very poor, The one they had in Gallagher retail park was by far the worst.
When I used to get a programme ever game I found it was surprising tricky if you forgot to get one from one of the sellers outside, or as often happened they'd run out. You'd think it was a pretty basic thing to make them easier to purchase, even the little shop on the concourses didn't sell themAh, didn’t know this.

Is 50/50 still a thing?When I used to get a programme ever game I found it was surprising tricky if you forgot to get one from one of the sellers outside, or as often happened they'd run out.

Probably because the shop is outsourced to one company and the programmes to another but you wouldn't think that was a problem that was impossible to sell. Sometimes it seems like the club don't want our money, how often have you seen a 50/50 ticket seller for example
I only realised it still existed when there was a post on the website that they were changing the way the tickets were sold. I kept an eye open at the next few games and never saw a single ticket seller. Also looked for the results and judging by the prize amount they sell about a quarter of the tickets Blaze do despite having a crowd about 10 times the sizeIs 50/50 still a thing?
Got two orders outstanding. No despatch email yet. Emailed club yesterday and reply stated that despatches were taking place yesterday and today to get items out by Christmas.Anyone seen anything of their orders yet. Bit concerned mine went out to EVRI and got spun around three times before being sent back to the retailer (allegedly)
