It was full of kids with their parents who were shelling out on new kit, that's a win
That's the aim. Only shame for me is that the timing of the opening meant that those kids got to meet Brownie instead of a current player. Would have been great to have Godden, Jones or someone there

I'd prefer Matty Godden to be having a well-earned rest on a beach somewhere exotic and Nathan Jones to be sorting out new signings

I meant Lloyd not Nathan but I agree, that's why I mentioned the timing. Give it two weeks and they could have popped down after training

Should’ve got Steve Brown modelling the new kit as well in that case

Was there today, bit disappointed tbh. Had the new kit, a few training tops & shorts. A few bits like mugs, water bottle & one badge & not much else. Can’t see it lasting unfortunately!
What else were you expecting to see being sold in there?
Even if there is a limited amount of time this shop is open I imagine we'll see a noticeable increase in sales of merchandise.
If the shop is not to be a permanent thing hopefully we can have it open until January to take in the Christmas demand.
3 mths only apparently according to earlier posting.
A shame as this has legs to increase merchandise sales dramatically.
Wouldn’t mind betting they will see how busy it is before committing to anything longer. Rent is expensive in Bluewater so it’s only worthwhile having it open when it’s making money - although it’s good for Bluewater as they have a few empty units, so pop-ups give them rent they won’t otherwise get.
Also worth remembering that when we are back in the Prem we’ll likely want a remote shop on a longer term basis, so a lot of detail will be learned about what does and doesn’t work.
And I don’t think it’s a bad thing the assortment of merchandise is limited at the moment. Better to have a smaller assortment and do it well than try and please everyone and screw up. There’s always more of a push on the home kits because it’s what the average fan buys - and is why there’s a wait on away and third kit sales. Makes sense from a retail/commercial angle.
Comments
probably to coincide with away/3rd kit launch
A lot or charlton fans probably live closer to bluewater than the valley club shop.
The home shirt sales rate should likely evidently increase.
I don't care if the shirts are overly expensive. Whatever makes the money.
