Availability of LOI jersies in your area

I was in a few sports shops in Blanchardstown this morning, and I decided to see what LOI jersies (if any) they had. Went to Lifestyle Sports, a massive store in the retail park. Upstairs is wall-to-wall Rugby, GAA and well-known football jersies. On a small rail beside some Celtic gear, I found a few Pats, Shams, Wexford Youths (surprising!) and Sporting Fingal shirts. All were made by either Umbro or O'Neill's. I wouldn't consider this bad per se, only when you consider the massive amounts of PL jersies on sale, well....
Also checked Elverys: had Bohs and Shels shirts only.
Lifestyle Sports, smaller store in the centre: no LOI jersies.

At this stage, I got bored of it and didn't check any of the other stores. I imagine it's much the same.

I know that in Sligo, the only place to get Rovers gear is either at the ground, or in the Jako Sports shop, which is a bit out of the way.

What are other people's experiences?

You can't get Bray jersey's anywhere. Bohs and Rovers jersey's are available in lifestyle sports though, or they were last time I was there.

There are usually GUFC jerseys in most sports shops around Galway.

They did have them on sale in Tansey's on Quinsboro Road for a bit and, afaik, they were sold in Lifestyle when they first came out last year.

They can still be bought in the club shop, surely.

It's a lot better than the bad old days when adidas wouldn't give us any to sell.

John Kents does have a stock of them as well. Jako not that far out of the way.Hardly expect to find Shams jersey in double more than you would a rovers one in Dublin.Not that kind of demand around,Id say!

Limericks club shop on Davis st has St Pats, Shamrock Rovers, Bray, Galway and Dundalk jerseys for sale along with our own. Its the only place in Limerick (afaik) that has them.

I was in Athlone's spanking new shopping centre last week, Athlone jersey not available anywhere! If we are going to promote this league surely ATFC jersies should be at least available in the SC.:o

Drogs stuff is readily available in the Drogheda shop, in Drogheda (obviously). Plenty of things available as well. Jerseys, hats, scarves, jackets, hoodies as well as other stuff like mugs, DVDs, key rings, lanyards, mouse mats. etc
They are also available from their online store and on match nights in United Park.

In its current location, not many people walk past it. Unlike, say, John Kent, Elverys, Barton Smith, etc.

Very good point. There is only one shop in Athlone which sells them due to agreements apparently which personally I thought was bad enough. That was until I went to Elverys in Athlone's old Shopping Centre where they sell Longford Town shirts :eek:
