WXEn8 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Firstly, huge respect and thanks to all those who give their time so cheaply or freely to E.T.F.C. so that we mere mortals can watch football at the QEII. BUT Why in the name of Town does so much of our merchandise have nothing to do with the colours on the pitch? I fully understand having items in current and former away colours, but why oh why is there so much NAVY blue instead of ROYAL BLUE? Even one of our directors passed comment last night about a new batch of scarves being "The wrong blue"! Is it appease the followers of that team up in N17? Or does nobody actually check what's being ordered? This, surely, is about branding and club identity? Being united in one set of team colours? Not very messianic in my humble opinion. And why I'm at it, if Butler's Bar can sell me beer on a card, why does the club shop only take cash? It's 2020! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the navy things, it.'s what people have asked for as the team have navy tops, gillet's etc. If you' d like more of the lighter Royal Blue more than happy to oblige. In fact we had some of that shade polo shirts in the shop last night. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WXEn8 Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 Arky - Thank you for the information regarding card payments, very useful. Wildlife rescue/72wembleyfinal/old towner - Totally agree, hence my opening sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanners66 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 My ‘agreement’ on the original question was in no way meant as a detriment to the Arky team! I’ve patronised the shop for many years! Just agreeing with the colour issue as a ‘non Spurs’ person (in case you didn’t know!). The card payment issue I would presume is a line / WiFi / issue and certainly not an act of subterfuge from the Politburo! Up the Royal Blue & Whites ?

WXEn8 Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Despite my much misread opening post, which criticized the merchandise, not the personnel, I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to the shop staff who are standing down. Well done, you'll be sadly missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
