Merchandise only available at game?

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Forgive me if this is old news, but what's this I hear about Mariners merchandise ONLY being available at games? Why on earth is this?

 

[Bladesman]

Up until yesterday it looked that way but the online store is now up - http://shop.ccmariners.com.au/ still think only having this option will hit Xmas sales.

But why on earth aren't they available in stores?

Of course it'll hurt Christmas sales, especially given our disappointing lack of pre-christmas home games (one year the FFA will actually do a decent job with the schedule....here's hoping.....).

I'd go even further to suggest that people receiving merchandise for Christmas could perhaps spur their interest in attending games after this. Less merchandise, less fans turning up.

Not to mention the obvious fact that merchandise is advertising that CCM is paid for, rather than them paying to advertise...

Thats the thing, the club make basically nothing off sales from stores like Rebel.

Too true. Maybe Uncle Frank can give us a store rent free at Tuggerah Are they still gonna open one at the COE or has that been scrapped?

. hubby's are large ... he typically wears 32 or 34 (depending on make and model) ... although increasingly 34

boardies arrived today
ordered 17th arivved 21st verhead:
told family to wrap them
so cant tell about them till i get them 4 xmas

 

[Golly]

well,
it got the better of me
so i came up with the idea of my wife blindfolding me and then dressing me in the shorts to see which size fits best so at least i can give the other pair to a skinner mate or a fatter mate depending on which fits me best

well verdict is in
XL was good around legs but required breathing in to do up
2XL perfect fit plenty of room

looks like my skinnier mate is now gunna unwrap shorts as well as me on chrissy day

I emailed the Club to see if there was anywhere to buy gear other than online.

Their reply was prompt, but was just the online link. So I'll take that as a 'No'.

I was hoping that maybe you could buy from their office, Centre of Excellence, etc., as I don't really want to buy clothes online. I always think I'm slimmer than I really am! Looks like I have to wait for New Year's Eve.

agree on going a size above...i just got a yellow training top in XL from the online shop, usually am a L or XL (depending on how much time i've spent on the bike lately).
they are quick had it delivered in two working days.
Might go for the blue matching one eventually. Am starting to have more of these training tops than proper kits.

 

[climbo]

not fussed if Rebel doesn't have stuff but can you buy lettered and numbered jerseys at the game?

 

[dibo]

Yes

 

[style_cafe]

I bought a shirt prior to Xmas.
I went to the office at Tuggerah,they said I could either get one at the game or they could have one there the next day for me,as they didn`t have the size I wanted.
They rang me the next day to confirm that it was ok to call in & pick it up.
The girls at the office are always friendly & follow through with any requests.
I suggest if you want any merchandise,ring them forst to order it ,then just call in & pick it up.

 

[climbo]

awesome, will try on for size Sat night

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Too bad the online store doesn't actually have all the sizes available at the game - GET IT TOGETHER, CENTRAL COAST!!!

I wonder how many christmas sales were lost this season?

 

[dibo]

Blame Hummel?

plenty of stock at games, got one last night out of a huge box of them, surely online should have EVERYTHING all the time? On sale for the next game also I was told for $95 AT the game. Bummer is no names or numbers for a few weeks, machine is broken Gives me a few weeks to work out who goes on the back...
