The Macron Stadium

Where fellow sufferers gather to share the pain, longing and unrequited transfer requests that make being a Wanderer what it is...

not really sure what difference it makes whose sponsor-name we have on the shirts - or the kit design - or the stadium name - or the nationality of one of our players - or facial hair, for that matter... but - hey! - each to his own! I'd take more notice of how we play, personally...
I'm not sure I'd recommend it!

New Season - same old over priced jumble sale!

Left empty handed
We were down the other week and took a walk around and by Christ they don't half have some crap in there.

My mate used to run the souvenir shop at St Mirren and he said it never ceased to amaze him what junk he could shift as long as he'd sewn a club badge on it.

I think that's the model the Happy Shop has latched on to.

I had money to spend but honestly couldn't even give the weans a fiver each to buy a scarf or a badge or anything it was so poor.

Like the the last days of Primark.

People will always want to buy tack but there also has to be people who want to buy something they wouldn't be embarressed to be seen dead in.

If it's not replica kits or a pennant signed by Mike Salmon you're after forget it.

Come on Happy Shop! Sort it out!
I'm not asking you to 'think outside the box' I just wish you'd have a rummage around in it once in a while.

is this what club shops ARE, though? I mean - seriously - what kind of BWFC brand merchandise would NOT be crappy old tat? what would you WANT to see sold in there?

A guy I know once got involved in supplying the DMBs with sovereign rings, only instead of a sovereign they had the DMB's badge instead. Proper Chavtastic.

He did quite well out of it too.

The guy he was dealing with actually said that they could sell basically anything if it had the club badge on.

some of the stuff is ok, scarfs, pendants, car paraphernalia & I liked the beach towel - but all hideously expensive. what gets me is the 'leisure range', its of a quality that primark would knock back and has been been designed by some one armed blind spaz.

I don't really bother during the close season, let's be honest it's getting harder to give a monkey's DURING the season so I only saw the Muriel yesterday.

I like it.

If I'd have done it I'd have called myself Embanksy.

I've seen it's got mosaics of Ream, SKD, Campo and Nolan on it who else?

Thought I saw Frandsen, Diouf and McGinley on the video.

All that and all I can see is 'X's' in little boxes.

Shame, I bet it looks ace.

That'd be Medo. Anelka is also on the wall as well, next to Diouf...
