'Limited time only' is such a bullshit response.

I'm telling you it's the sizing. They ended up ordering way too many teal 59s in sizes 7 1/2 plus and couldn't move them, so their solution is scrap 59s altogether for the snapbacks rather than re-jig their order quantities.

It's so bloody lazy.

This. All day this.

It is the single largest heaping pile of steaming crap I've heard come from inside those hallowed walls since i asked what happened to the ribs. I was told, and this is a direct quote "yeh we kept selling out of them and just couldn't keep em in stock all the time, so we just don't do em anymore"

I'm no MBA sure, but cmon PAFC this is not how to run a business!

Yeah, safe to say they're ******* useless.

Have called or been in there every fortnight for the past two months to see if they have the pink PA monogram hats in stock. Have been told two weeks every time. Also left a message last week and didn't even receive a call back.

Went down today to have a look, still not in stock. Asked Dani (who is apparently the manager) why I couldn't just get a straight answer and she gave me some fluff about them having put the order in 3 months ago and they just have to keep waiting.

Asked whether they've ever thought of either ordering larger quantities, or ordering more often. "We're only allowed to order so much."

Store needs fixing, perhaps something to talk to KT about? They must be losing a tonne of sales.

Nothing has changed from 10 years ago when I last dealt with someone behind the counter.

Unacceptable, the supporters deserve better.
 
Pretty sure Dani was the one responsible for the Chokito situation. Not surprising she hasn't been held accountable because the buck would have stopped with her and she quietly swept it under the carpet.

The culture in that place is a ****ing disgrace.

Compare it to the membership department who do an amazing job, and if they knew their hard work was being diminished by these unprofessional hacks - I expect they would be mortified.

Ports cap update!

So it looks like my enquiries have finally gone full circle and ended up back at the store itself. I had a chat with Ben (the manager) today who was very generous with his time and gave me a lot of info, I was pretty impressed actually.

Anyway here's the skinny.

As far as the store itself making Ports merchandise goes, probably not in the immediate future or as a cap, the PA monogram obviously lives in this space right now. However, he did mention quite a few times how much he liked the look of the wordmark on a T-shirt as modelled by our super sexy captain (see earlier ITT) and the historical angle of it too, so he would keep the idea 'on file' so to speak.

With regards to us making Ports caps DIY he confirmed that the Club would have absolutely no issue with it as long as we were only manufacturing them for personal use i.e. not making a profit. He was unsure if the wordmark was still/ever licensed by the Club, but even if it was it would be treated as if you put the Power logo on a birthday cake that you made for your 7 year old. No profit = no issues.

So there we have it. If people are still keen for Ports cap goodness we're cool to proceed.

Now as far as production goes it seems like it takes about 2-3 months to make it all happen, which is a bit awkward for me personally since I'll be going overseas for the China game and a few other places afterwards and won't be back until mid-June. I'd probably have to wait until I get back to start organising everything to make sure that I'm available to be in contact with the supplier (I generally don't take a phone or use computers when I'm O/S) and take delivery as well.

So if people are happy to wait (more!) I'm happy to start organising it all when I get back. But if people wants Ports caps and wants them yesterday then I'll have to handball it.

P.S. Women's magenta PA cap was a massive hit and more are coming in, as are the PA 39THIRTYs and 9FIFTYs, but the 59FIFTYs are deader than a dodo at the disco.
 
Hello again I come in peace :)

Happy to wait...
 
I had a cake maker make me a ports cake one and charge for it. It was for a profit. Should I report her? Or just blackmail?
