whats happening at St Davids Cardiff City shop?

Mon Feb 17, 2014 6:06 pm

I have always walked past the shop in St Davids centre as I just don't recognise all the Red stuff on show in there - however, when I walked past on Saturday morning - I was very pleased to see a sea of Blue gear on sale in there - not just the official Blue away kit, but casual blue shirts with the old bluebird badge on, coffee mugs with the old bluebird badge on!!!

I actually bought some blue gear from there

How come the "official" shop is now selling this proper "old blue" stuff???? -

Wez, As u will be prob aware their merchandise sales are at there lowest for years, yet were in the Prem and they should be record breaking sales. The demand for BLUE is massive. I spoke to someone today and they needed their targets/sales to improve and 2 months ago they ordered all the BLUE, it was to late for Xmas and it all arrived 2 weeks ago.

Common Sense prevails :thumbup:

I have a feeling you could be right, if they did it now it would give the club the most massive lift, and could help keep us up, the effects could be massive financially for that reason.....

Faze it back in and give us all a lift for next season. Premiership or not. 'Build it and they will come' 33000 state of the art stadium, world class training ground and back in blue. Oh and debt converted. It's going to happen. What will we have to moan about then? Back to blue its on the cards. :ole:

If there is blue with the proper badge then everyone should snap it up, even the cheap shit. That way tan will get a message that the proper colour and badge =profit (possibly the only thing tan will listen to) I'll pop in tomorrow but if it's blue with the wrong badge then no thanks.

I don't know how you can justify giving that man a penny ? There's plenty of blue to be had on amazon or eBay. Perhaps tan is happier flogging blue than nothing at all ?

I went in the one in the St Davids Centre, people often moaned there was nothing in there at all but that was a load of tosh, not a lot of blue but a few bits and the shop is tiny anyway so not much merchandise.

Got a garden gnome in there a blue retro one which is in my room as it does look pretty decent. :ayatollah:

Marketing both red & blue is a retail success for both outlets.

Whilst the blue merchandise tends to be more favorable with the middle aged end consumer, the red merchandise is highly demanded by the younger generation end consumer or parent.

All sales are analyzed on a monthly basis and reported back to suppliers for them to fulfill their contractual obligations.

Meanwhile the experienced store retail staff are requested to report feed back from consumers to future requirements and choice.

Both outlets are a retail success and all clients are thanked greatly for their business now and in the future.

In my opinion it's obvious why the shops are now selling loads of blue. Season ticket sales are low and putting blue in the shops is a desperate attempt from Tan to trick fans into thinking we might be going back to blue, so they renew their season tickets. Guaranteed, once Tan is happy with the number of season tickets sold, there will be red in the club shops again. I think Tan is once again, being cunning and deceitful to try and manipulate the fans.

I suppose if I was Tan, I would think I've done a good job conning the majority of fans so far, so why not try this latest stunt? The majority of us are daft, gullable and will roll over for Tan without a fight after all. :(

Tan doesn't have a clue about what the shops are selling - it's not like the club shop manager answers directly to tan :lol:

His rebrand is for the international market - nothing to do with us in Cardiff

The blue in the shops is down to low sales and that is the only reason

So Tan didn't realise the club shop was selling the red merchandise either?

Come on, the timing of the blue appearing in the club shops is awfully coincidental.
