Was in there yesterday, pretty sparse in terms of stock and very quiet. Only highlight was the retro tracksuit top from the wallace & fergie era in the late 70s. It was better than the barrow in the Tesco Arena but on the whole awful. This is not being anti sisu nor a retail expert is was just so cold and empty like sixfields.

Perhaps they should go and have a look at the Wolves shop. That was pretty impressive for stock range and quality of the goods.

I don't think the site is very good for the Coventry shop. I never have a reason to go to that retail park.

Well its not surprising is it. None of you bigmouth NOPM types will buy anything from it. Still, it helps your masterplan of bringing the club to its knees doesnt it?

What about the 45 per cent Grendel says blames the council?

Andreas you can try and point score all you like...but the fact remains the quality and choice of product is poor and it has been for years. Having a lot of retail experience myself, I can tell you the location is poor.

It's like going into a train station and telling the Guard "See that Train I ain't getting on"

The point is if people go in and the stock and price is right they will buy something NOPM or not!

My daughter went to get my Grandson the 'new' kit, guess what it was not in stock and has to be ordered... If they can't get the kids stuff in stock for Christmas, that is really poor.

Timewasters - just like those that ask you to get a valuation of something when they have no intention of buying it.

I've been in there for away tickets and it always seems dead. Last week the stock did seem very limited too. However you can kinda see why it's poor. If so few people are willing to buy why fully stock it?

But if your not going to stock it why have a shop.

Got to be honest have been in once I have no problem with buying anything if I like it but they simply have nothing.

Went to brum last week and dare I say it the Vile shop was full of stuff(mostly shite) but they were doing a roaring trade.

I too find that it is a trek to get to and wrong side of the town for me.

It does look a bit odd on the outside, like its part of Maplins.

You see that attitude is commercial suicide....the stock has to come in before you can ever generate sales!!

"The wrong side of town" like the Ricoh then. If ONLY there was a way of making stock from the shop get sent to your house without actually going there.

Sorry but don't buy anything without trying it on first call me old fashioned but that's me. as for the Ricoh as I was there for the game it was in the right location as was the one in the City Centre.

I do get car spares and the like off the internet but hay ho don't wear those.

Should be part CCFC Museum and part shop.

How good would it be to have Houchen's shirt, or Oggy's gloves decorate the place?
