whats happening at St Davids Cardiff City shop?

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???? -

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

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.

Get real - Tan has NOTHING to do with the running of the small Cardiff City shop - it's something called man management

A sales manager or someone slightly higher up was sweating due to low sales and made a call to but blue in the front window - that is as exiting as this situation could possibly get

If tan issues a public statement explaining that the layout of the shop front window was a pinnacle point to his rebrand then I will send you a written apology

So you're saying Tan has nothing to do with what's sold in the club shop and nothing to do with the blue shirts being late coming out this season. Everyone wanting this seasons shirt at the start of the season had to buy the red shirt as that was the only shirt initially available, but you're saying that was nothing to do with Tan? fair enough!

m saying that Vincent Tan Billionaire club owner doesn't pop down to the Cardiff City Club Shop and reorganise the front window

I'm saying that no one came to him with a permission form as to how they wanted to dress the dummies

I'm saying that the blue in the front of the window has NOTHING to do with Vincent Tan

I worked in a shop before - I dressed the models in the Tommy Hilfiger shop and I didn't have to contact him in the USA in order to do so

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.

what a load of bollocks like your posts in general

get back in your box retard,you'd never understand it!

retard???? Understand what?

It's obvious that neither retail outfits are succesful...every 50@ £5 offers are for red reubbish which has not sold

I worked in a shop before - I dressed the models in the Tommy Hilfiger shop and I didn't have to contact him in the USA in order to do so

But Tommy Hilfiger decides what clothing is brought in to his stores for you to dress the models, just like Tan decides whether to have red or blue merchandise brought in to the club shop. A poster above in this thread has gone on about all the retro blue shirts in the St Davids club shop that have appeared out of nowhere. This wasn't available to buy at the start of the season.

It doesn't take a genius to work out the club shop management know a large percentage of City fans would have wanted to buy these retro blue shirts, so where have they been all season? They've obviously been under orders from above to sell as much red as possible and now we are struggling on the pitch and are struggling to sell season tickets, all this blue merchandise coincidentally appears. I have my suspicions.

The Cardiff City Store has three main shirts (core product) to sell

A red shirt

A yellow shirt

A blue shirt

Right now the store manager or a shop assistant has put blue shirts in the shop window... Again that is as far as this conspiracy goes

Now we can both appreciate that this conversation has journeyed into the realms of the ridiculous so I'm going to leave it there

Try reading the OP again and you will see extra blue merchandise has been put in the St Davids shop, including lots of retro blue gear which wasn't previously there. Blue shirts are now in the shop window because as the OP has stated, there is a lot more blue merchandise than red merchandise available in the shops. Considering there was initially only a limited supply of blue shirts on sale when they finally came out, it's quite a sudden turnaround. To me, this smacks of desperation to win back fans, coinciding with our current season ticket sales.
