Fair play, good idea. More clubs should follow suit
Yeah doing well too. Every week there's more stuff for sale and sales are up at "home" games. Merchandise under the old board was, how shall I put it, not done!

What a misleading thread name?
I thought the club was for sale.
That was a couple of months ago. You missed that particular sale I'm afraid.Quote:

Very few actually Dodge, most of us buy stuff at the games. Tends to be exiles and Johnny Foreigners on eBay.Quote:

BTW Best of luck with the Roddy and Mileson show. ;)

Smart move by Rovers - hope it goes well for them.
Will be interesting to see how many other clubs follow suit - I'd love Derry to do similar.
Sadly there's no programme for the Rovers v Derry game on there, or they'd have had a few quid off me :) . Also - I see they're selling a few of the ROI home programmes - for cheaper than they were available at the games themselves !
Good luck with it.
Email the club and they'll get one to you.Quote:

its a great idea if ya ask me, fair play to yiz-a bit of innovation!
why bother developing your own on-line store with the associated security costs etc, when e-bay can do it for you. then simply add a link from your own web.
every club should do it.
now i dont know prices etc., but i'd imagine the security costs associated with storing credit card and banking details would outweigh the % of the e-bay commission. anyway, seeing as it would mainly be exiles that would use the service, i dont think they would mind an extra euro or two added to the p&p. certainly i'd love to see the drogs set up such a shop.Quote:

RT - you would be amazed, nay shocked, at what football stuff gets bought out there.Quote:

We sell loads of shirts to people whose surname is "Monaghan" all over the globe.
It's a great idea and compared to the costs of setting up, running and maintaining an online shop the charge by Ebay is lesser. If you consider you have to pay for the online shop software, someone to install the software/setup the website, pay for webspace, constantly update/maintain the actual site and I'm sure there another couple of things compared with simply placing an item on Ebay, which is efficient and easily done, and losing what I believe is 3-5% per item it makes sense.
Great idea.
