Will they really make more money from a 2 storey club shop than they will from an extra bar?

They could have made more money by swapping from Nike to Adidas for all our gear.
(and a two storey shop)

There is a huge marque in Bennets field which I guess is ready for the shop. Would be nice to put a bar in there as well. Perhaps someone cleverer than me could check if a licence has been approved for there.
Another point with the moved shop is that it will be easier to get to on non game days. No walking all around the ground, just step out of the car.
EDIT Just checked licencing and no applications.

Opened this thread in trepidation based on the title, in case there’d been more images shared from Ivor Caplin’s social media account.

Relieved it’s phallus-free.

Thought I read somewhere that there was going to be a temporary structure erected in Bennett's Field. Might be wrong

The temporary structure will house the Club Shop

 

[Change at Barnham]

When is the expected opening of the new fan zone?

'Spring'

Yes my understanding is that Dick’s bar was to close, likely now. And is replaced my the new fanzone bars & a refurbished area of the north stand concourse will also be named as Dick’s bar.

I would like to think the club is communicating with DK about the closure and hopeful relocation

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Ah, that's kind of sad about the closing. Only went there once, often thought about popping in, saw the queues and thought 'sod it', but it did feel like an institution.

As it didn't allow kids, I didn't go in there on a matchday

 

[Monkey Man]

I've only been to Dick's a handful of times and always thought it was the most underwhelming aspect of an otherwise very impressive stadium. Just felt too airporty and corporate. I think the new fanzone will have a much better ambience.

 

[Insel affe]

Will that be home fans in the fanzone only? Before and after the game

Oh, how you gonna police that then, when half our supporters reportedly support two teams !
and can we still wear half and half scarves?

Extremely disappointed with NSC that it took 23 messages to mention Caplin.

Shameful.

Good question. TB must have the data to suggest that they will.
