I have several times confirmed my support for legitimate protest, but on Saturday upon try to enter the Club Shop we were told by an individual stationed by the entrance door not to spend any money. I object very strongly to his approach, he could easily have caused the Police to become involved, which should not be your aim. As it happens we were there just to look, but as I understand Roland does not get any retail profit from the shop, only rent from the franchisee which am sure he has already pocketed.

Short and fat ? Surely not.

The club do take a percentage of sales from the shop sales as well as the lump sum fee.

I thought the club shop was back to being run by the club now not a franchisee.0

Please don't try to tell me how, or what, to spend my money on. You will be given a right flea in your ear...5 -
No, they extended the deal with Just Sport for another year.MrB said:I thought the club shop was back to being run by the club now not a franchisee.
Roland doesn't like the staff headcount to increase so the prerequisite when talking to suppliers was "will you run the shop for us?"
As Adidas, umbro, Hummel etc sell kit rather than run shops KM only had Just Sport as an option.2 -
If you don't agree, go shop. No one was stopping anyone going in. Enjoy your season ticket.21

Just as well I was at Solihull v Bromley as people might have accused me of being the culprit!ShootersHillGuru said:Granpa said:I have several times confirmed my support for legitimate protest, but on Saturday upon try to enter the Club Shop we were told by an individual stationed by the entrance door not to spend any money.

My understanding is that no one was stopped or "told" how to spend their money.
It was a protest not a blockade.
I saw a few people enter without any sort of barracking or blocking before I retired to the pub.1 -

Message to Granpa: the Police? Really? Someone asks you not to spend money in a shop and you want to get the Old Bill involved?
Sometimes I think we have a large contingent of fans who deserve this lot, really i do.53 -

Wasn't there yesterday, but was told the protesters were recommending people didn't spend their money in the shop not telling them what to do. I''m sure the police would have laughed at you Grandpa if you'd gone crying to them that a naughty protester told you not to go in.3

The other point to raise regarding the franchising of the club shop is that, whilst Roland only makes a percentage of sales, a boycott puts pressure on the franchising relationship. Just Sport are 'paying' the club for access to its supporters. When those supporters aren't delivered because of a poor relationship with the SMT/owner, then Just Sport have a problem they'll want sorted. That's another fire that Katrien has to put out.

Anyway, did you go in to the shop?

Good question @Granpa ? Did you go into the shop after all ? Or did anyone physically prevent you from accessing the shop other than handing you a leaflet and advocating not to shop ? Not having a go, just curious. I understand that you felt a bit uncomfortable and all but you could have gone in no problem ?ricky_otto said:Anyway, did you go in to the shop?
