Merchandise - here's how to do it

[Schumi]

Sure even Leinster rugby dont have a city center shop.They don't need one. Leinster jerseys are sold in every sports shop in Dublin and tickets in some too, not a similar situation to EL clubs.

You'll find the jersies of Pats, Bohs, Rovers and Shels in vast majority of sports shops in Dublin

This is an area that Linfield have been very successful in. Don't know exact figures but there is a club shop at Windsor Park, an official outlet on the Shankill Road which is owned by a member of the board as well as an online shop. When a new shirt is brought out there is a kit launch and these have proved to be very successful. It is great to see the number of people runnning about in Linfield gear. The range of stuff available from Umbro is also a massive help.

where on earth do you get the idea that tourists would want to buy eircom league football jersies?!?! Crazy talk.

BTW Ronan Seery also claimed that he was building a club to represent Dublin in any future european football league.......
Tourists buy GAA and Rugby merchandise, so why not Football shirts?

And yes, I know that Seery talked mostly ********, but regarding the shirt sales I actually belive him. The shirt was sold in Carrolls branches throughout the city centre, all of them geared towards selling the most useless tat to gullible tourists. They all stocked the Dublin City shirt, and it certainly qualifies as being useless tat..

Umbro have been rubbish with DCFC from a stock replenishment point of view. We didn't have any jersies available for most of 2006 season - particularly for almost all our Euro run, when we could've sold them by the van load... :mad: We're always waiting around for new stock from them - the club shops were half empty in the run-in to Christmas

Though I have a sneaky suspicion a lot of it may be to do with the club not giving them a rocket up the ass often enough.

Because the GAA shirts are something they can bring home and say this is typical Irish ;)

Maybe it helps that they are also our main club sponsor. Also ex Linfield player Philip Mitchell is the Umbro rep and does excellent work in helping keep shops stocked.

Even on Merchandising Steve & David could not agree....

Now now WWS - we're not disagreeing. Just regailing 2 different scenarios at our clubs.

Sounds like we should get Liam Coyle a job as an Umbro rep..... :)
