Club Shop Fiasco

[irishfoxkev]

Anyone thinking of getting down early to get new kits ?Don't rush...got to ground at 9.30 after early morning flight expecting to be able to collect my tickets and have leisurely browse in shop as per usual Club site says open at 9 on match days...but it is closed till 12??? Loads of people here early very annoyed..reason for late opening apparently only licensed to trade for 6 hours on Sunday and as shop is open for  45 mins after match that is 6 pm approx hence can't open till 12..gonna be very busy come 12 to 3

Not really the shops fault is it?

 

Blame the Victorian Sunday trading laws.

The Club would like to apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. As part of Friday’s exciting reveal, the City Fanstore will also be revising its hours over the weekend to the following: 

 

- Friday - 9am – 8pm 

- Saturday - 9am – 8pm 

- Sunday - 12pm – 6pm 

 

Normal opening hours will resume as of Monday morning, while supporters looking to purchase official Leicester City merchandise can do so online at LCFCDirect.com.

what's the fiasco?

 

that trade license affects pretty much every retail store in the country.

I'm in for the sale. See you at 12.

[deccers]

'Fiasco' boils down to not checking opening hours. Can hammer the club shop/ticket sales about many things, but probably not this.

Loads of old laws this great country of ours needs to review and change !!

[irishfoxkev]

Ok we did go onto club website and went to club shop opening hours which says 9 for match days....didn't see this notice and as live in Ireland ain't aware of the Sunday trading laws ...would feel foolish if we were the only ones here early but there are loads of others...many who have ordered stuff online and got email confirming ready for collection at 10.....gonna park up the car and stroll around enjoying the luvly sunshine ☀️ ??

Maybe after Brexit we won't have jonney foreigner coming into our country telling us our sunday trading laws are wrong. ( thats a joke by the way)

So the club shop is shut. It's a beautiful morning. Take a wander down the cut to castle gardens. Take in the beauty of our fair city. Pop into Newark houses or Jewry wall museum.Reflect on 2 eventful seasons.Have a jar or two. Then after we've beat Bournemouth you'll still have an hour to spend your hard earned in the club shop.

Would luv to find nice beer garden but I am designated driver today ??

We do whinge

When I was a kid I pestered my dad for weeks to buy me a shirt and get Iwan Roberts name on the back. So eventually we went to Filbert Street, picked out the shirt and took it up to the counter. They'd run out of R's. So they rang up the shop that used to be on Churchgate, and confirmed that they had them in stock. So we drove round, parked up, walked round to the shop. 

 

No O's.

 

Eventually they managed to sort it out and I got it printed the next day; 3 weeks later O'Neill sold him to Wolves.

People being so precious and never in the wrong. Just check before arriving. 

 

It's your own fault for not doing your research

Apologies if wrong... Someone who doesn't work in retail then??

Who is shopping while the game is on? Could they close for the 90 mins of the game + half time and open at 10:00?

[EGBFitness]

Went down this morning and was shut. 

 

Just released a new kit, last game of the season and they open at 12. There was a few down there aswell. 

 

Website says 10am on Sundays or 9am on match days. 

[Livid]

They announced the opening times on Thursday night, the issue is with the website not the shop.

like germany, where absolutely everything is shut the whole day on sundays? 

[Leicesterpool]

In my opinion they shouldn't sell the new shirt on the same day as the last game of the season causes as expected cahos, alot of people go in on the last day of the season as it is to pick up some end of season bargians. I never get the urgency to buy the new kit straight away it's released, you can get it anytime in the summer.
