No, it will be our retail partners throwing it away, I get it. And how do you think they will cover that wasted expense?It’s not us spending it.

You sound angry that we’re upgrading our facilities?No, it will be our retail partners throwing it away, I get it. And how do you think they will cover that wasted expense?
Schalke have this at the Veltins. Basically the side of a lorry opened up. We all bought tops/scarfs for the game we went to from there and it was constantly busy for the hour before ko we were at the ground having beers (also a pop up stand).Is it possible to also have “pop up” stores at each end of the stadium as well?
Will also encourage sales on match day.
I reckon most big clubs in Europe have stadiums built slap bang in the middle of shiteholes to be fair.
You can obviously exclude the clubs with fairly new stadiums of course.
Will the Elite pop up store be removed from outside of the Louden?
I'm struggling to think of one I've been to recently that's not been in a shitehole/retail or industrial park out of town.
Not angry at all, the new retail set up looks very promising after the years of SD crap. But the shop will not be there in a couple of years and I just feel that wasting £250k is a bit off and could be put to a far better and more permanent use.You sound angry that we’re upgrading our facilities?
I think in a couple of years the megastore as is will not be there, it will never be fit for purpose. £20k to refurbish it short term is enough.
Spending serious cash on the shop at the current time is crazy.
I don’t see the need for as many as 4 portacabins selling merch dotted around the stadium and I doubt it will happen.
What people are forgetting here is that on a match day, we have over 45k season ticket holders. Nearly 90% of the attendance are people who go each week. People aren’t going to buy gear every time they go to Ibrox for a game.
The reason clubs like Chelsea and Arsenal have them is because their home attendance have a lot of tourists going to the games.
Saw an artists impression of the Edmiston House this morning, think it came from that project manager. Looked very impressive.
Looks like it will be called “Rangers Fan Hub”.

If they are smart the tour would leave from and return to the store

Did the guy who leaked the original photos of the megastore refurb get sacked ?If its the PM who got sacked you'd be as well posting them.
If its a new PM then keep them to yourself and let the guy keep his job.
I am willing to bet you it will be there well beyond. It ties in with the new Edminston house build. Both are up there with the best facilities in the UK, and will bring in plenty dough from tourists and supporters alike.Not angry at all, the new retail set up looks very promising after the years of SD crap.

I am willing to bet you it will be there for at up to 10 years. It ties in with the new Edminston house build.
Not really. They just go hand in hand. The new build has retail space too and both are top notch. They aren’t “stop gaps” or temporary builds like this guy seems to thinkInteresting.

That 250k investment will return a profit within a month.I think in a couple of years the megastore as is will not be there, it will never be fit for purpose. £20k to refurbish it short term is enough.

Can you please at least point people in the direction of where they can see it mate?Saw an artists impression of the Edmiston House this morning, think it came from that project manager. Looked very impressive.

Marketing and the point is I don't want to see a design and refit for any level of money. The shop is a red herring, no use nor fit for purpose apart from very, very short term. Spending £250k on it is money flushed down the toilet when we are going to build a new store 100 metres away.20k?
What area do you work in where you think you're getting a design and refit for that level of money?
People spend that on kitchens for a domestic house in an area 1/10th of the size of the Megastore floorplate.
It's quite hilarious to see figures like 20k suggested. You'd be lucky to get the internal and external signage done for that cost before you even touch the fabric of the area.
If you put 4 shop fitters, a spark, a heating engineer and two apprentices in that site for three weeks you'd have blown your budget on labour before you purchase a single item of material or have actually employed anyone to design the new layout.
Clueless.
How is it money flushed down the toilet when it will easily pay for itself in a matter of months?Marketing and the point is I don't want to see a design and refit for any level of money.

Clueless is putting 4 shop fitters, a spark, a heating engineer and two apprentices in that site for three weeks when a few cosmetics and a carpet will do. Clueless is also believing that because Castore is spending it then it will not cost us.
The 80's megastore is dead, put the paddles away and don't try and revive it. Look forward, at least 100m.

Do you know if the building is being knocked down and started from scratch?Saw an artists impression of the Edmiston House this morning, think it came from that project manager. Looked very impressive.

You say 80's megastores are dead yet you want to put a carpet in a new one...Marketing and the point is I don't want to see a design and refit for any level of money.

I don't know what he is whining about, we aren't even paying for it hahaha.By the sounds of things it looks like we may have new retail space on the edmiston house site AND a brand new refurbished club store/shop adjoined to our stadium.
Whats not to like.
I'd build on the Club Deck first.As for not much space I'm no engineer but another floor could easily be built on top and if that's still not enough a second floor on top of that.
Also a basement.
Not really. They just go hand in hand. The new build has retail space too and both are top notch. They aren’t “stop gaps” or temporary builds like this guy seems to think
A popup store outside the Megastore?Is it possible to also have “pop up” stores at each end of the stadium as well?
Will also encourage sales on match day.
I like the idea of selling scarves etc so that the money from these goes to the club instead of the people selling them.Schalke have this at the Veltins. Basically the side of a lorry opened up. We all bought tops/scarfs for the game we went to from there and it was constantly busy for the hour before ko we were at the ground having beers (also a pop up stand).
The only club in Scotland sited in a reasonable area is probably Kilmarnock.I reckon most big clubs in Europe have stadiums built slap bang in the middle of shiteholes to be fair.

They’ll get their money back in about a year.I think in a couple of years the megastore as is will not be there, it will never be fit for purpose. £20k to refurbish it short term is enough.

We should be looking to expand catering aswell see if we can get the big fast food suppliers involved with kiosks around the stadiumOne of the food kiosks in each of the stands, lower and upper decks. Could be utilised as a pop up shop, tbh some of the grub tastes like poly cotton.
I wonder if they’ve thought it through.No, it will be our retail partners throwing it away, I get it. And how do you think they will cover that wasted expense?
