The Moonster Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The cost of a shop in the High Street would 100% far outweigh any sort of profit. We also don't have any form of local sports shop we could tie in with to sell our merchandise. The interest simply isn't there and a club shop in the High St will do nothing to change that. I'd imagine the online thing would cost a bit as well as we'd need someone down there packing orders and shipping them out. If only we had a member of staff who had plenty of spare time on their hands to do this sort of thing... He canny work the tape gun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 He canny work the tape gun. And it's unfair of us to complain that he canny as it was thrust upon him by staff illness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I think we'd be better letting him go to a full time team and learn something different, I might be totally wrong though. And yeah Graham signed for us, but Kane is still probably third choice after that. Our managers said we're looking at getting another attacking player in, which will pretty much cement Kane going out on loan, but I don't think we'll let him leave if we don't get another in Fair enough, just thought the set up last season was good for both clubs and player. Wouldn't be surprised if full-time teams are in for him too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) From the Match preview: Manager Ian Murray, boosted by two loan signings during the past week, is looking to get off the mark with a league win and build on a decent midweek performance against Hibs. Two...have I forgotten someone? Also Joe is away on loan to Kilbirnie again. E.T.A And now it's been edited....

Must have been a lightning quick edit, I was on the the OS pretty much as that was posted and it just said "boosted by Kieran MacDonald loan signing". Still, if that was there then we're definitely in for someone else... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a proper looking shop in the stadium, either reception or concourse areas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 How many people do you think are looking for Dumbarton merchandise on a daily basis? I reckon you'll be lucky if there are 5 items bought in a week (start of the season aside). What we have now is more than enough, although I agree that it would be better if the online shop was able to sell all of our merchandise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be we only sell a few items at the present moment a week, but I'm pretty confident we'd sell more if it was seen in a shop window, plenty mum's and dads go shopping in the high street, or Asda or morrisons, someone from the club should be making this a possibility and contacting these stores 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWL Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 If you look on the Total Teamwear website, who we get out kit through, you'll see they have online stores there already for other clubs they supply. I appreceiate they are bigger clubs supporter number wise than us and the company will take a cut for doing it. However even a percentage of whatever is sold to DFC is better than the current precentage of zero. http://www.teamwearscotland.com/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 BBPF posts and its not the Kane/Kano photo. Disappointing. Delighted to have him back. Hopefully this will coincide with a change in tactics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
