Guest Tall Striker Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Heard that the NUFC shop at Monument Mall is being shut down by the FCB. Used to work in there back in the day and it was always great craic, and always a standard port of call when you go to Newcastle after a while away. Shame.

Thespence Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 For me it is the better of the two shops in the city centre really handy for getting tickets but I guess kids/parents spunking there money in there when there is a SD near by does not fit into "the model".

Disco Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Whole place is dying a death (Monument Mall), could do with some decent shops in as its a nice little shopping centre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I really wonder if the club shops do great business these days. Every time I pop in they seem nigh on empty, even on match days. Of course it doesn't help that they sell some absolutely terrible and overpriced rubbish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 It would make sense. Not many clubs have 3 club shops, never mind 3 in the city centre alone, plus the one in the MC. Monumant Mall has recently been sold, so maybe the owners have decided to change terms or change the direction the Mall is going. There has been a rumour out for a while that TK Maxx are set to take up the whole basement level, so maybe they want to have a level on the ground floor mainly for a more visible entrance.

Colos Curls Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I would say the one on the front of ES is the worst, it seems like a bargain basement full of old gear. Monument one is the better one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Whole place is dying a death (Monument Mall), could do with some decent shops in as its a nice little shopping centre. The rent is far too high apparently. There was a food court on e on the top level but a lot of the places have shut down. Even Boots moved out to go to the cheaper Eldon Square.

Foluwashola Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Turn it into a KFC. Absolutely, thought they were just just refurbishing the one on Northumberland St, now all of a sudden it doesn't even house food.

I've got to agree with that, but in reality both of them are fairly small and in a weird configuration. I'm surprised NUFC haven't taken advantage of the musical chairs game going on in ES, since ESS opened, having one larger store in the city centre plus the SJP store, while both Monumant Mall and the current ES store closed down.
