Chris L Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 40 minutes ago, patrone said: The new store, at the Gallowgate End of the famous St. James' Park, has been transformed over recent months as part of a significant investment plan, in partnership with adidas. The club's in-house retail and operations teams have worked, together with adidas, to create a new, best-in-class retail experience. The new store will offer supporters the largest range of Newcastle United kit and official product lines anywhere. Its enhanced layout, increased number of till points, new kit customisation area, alongside immersive imagery and video content, will create incredible retail and fan experiences for all fans. A new 'experiential zone' has also been added, with a huge 8K LED screen - weighing 1.5 tonnes - and a ten-metre steel replica of the iconic Tyne Bridge installed to create unique, and shareable, moments for all visitors. The store will open first to The Mags+ membersfrom 2pm-4pm (GMT) on Wednesday. Mags+ members will shortly receive an email with a registration link, and Mags+ members visiting the store will receive a token for a free drink (selected drinks only) to be redeemed at Shearer's Bar. adam P is queuing outside already Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The store itself isn’t as large as some other club stores. Also although they have massively increased what is available (going by online) with New Era, Oddballs, and BRXL, I think we will still be a long way off the merchandise other clubs are offering. Don’t get me wrong, there have been large scale improvements in our merchandise, and I think people going in will be relatively happy with what’s on offer. I just don’t think it would be ‘Best in class’ levels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhog63 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 This is why we got Member+ She's off as well. We're gonna sashay down the red (B&W) carpet, check the goods (she'll not sanction any purchase on account of the extortionate pricing) then grab that sweet free pint (selected drinks only) next door.

OverThere Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 (edited) Well we now have a shop. Now just waiting on the stadium, academy and training ground. Maybe they are doing a feasibility study to find out if a feasibility study is feasible? Edited October 29 by OverThere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry 209 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 To anyone who goes to Stack before the game - does it get so busy before kick off that they stop letting people in, and if so what time would you recommend getting there before tonight's game?

JonBez comesock Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 (edited) Club shop isn’t best in class , far from it Bit of a makeover , but not as expected ? Edit I’ve looked at Borrussia Dortmunds and to be fair ours is probably on par. Not sure how it compares to others (elite clubs) Edited October 30 by JonBez comesock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how it compares to others (elite clubs) Spurs shop is meant to be best in class, but to be fair, its just big, with some video screens and a bit of astroturf. But it mainly consists of racks of shirts and tracksuits, Dad-Wear stuff with the badge on, and general tat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 44 minutes ago, JonBez comesock said: Man City is very similar too Maybe I didn’t realise how average club stores were! From memory, Man City’s was packed with so much stuff it was difficult to manoeuvre around it on match day, like trying to walk around primark the Saturday before Christmas. Liverpool’s is similar in size but more spread out. The 2 club shops that stood out to me are PSG, where you walk through on the astroturf and it was set out like a a changing room, with the personalised shirts of all of the players pre printed. The other was Leicester City, which had various bits scattered around, like the flag Vardy took out with a sliding tackle, as well as having match worn shirts in frames for sale.

nufcjb Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Maybe they had a change of plans. Was goint to go big on it and then decided that we'll redevelop SJP or move somewhere else soon so might saving up on the idea (and cash) for that? Wishful thinking on my part.

I think they are just limited on space really. Unless you extent into Shearers, there isn’t anywhere else to go. They should really have kept one of the containers in the Stack back for a small club kiosk with the best selling items. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE27 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Went in after the game, much needed refresh and think it's perfectly fine for a club store. Limited space in St James to do much more, which is probably another tick in the "New Stadium" column tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Notice they have the kiosk under the stand open after the match now, but sadly it's impossible to browse or shop at because tens of thousands of people are streaming past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 I've been in the stadium store recently for the NY Yankees, Philadelphia Eagles, Phillies, and 76ers, and the Chicago White Sox. From Adam P's video the new one looks to be on par or better than all of those. Tottenham's looks incredible, but considering the restriction of retrofitting an existing space this certainly doesn't seem like anything to complain about.
