Yeah I've been there a few times, wondered around and walked out. It's usually a safe bet for some Christmas presents but not recently.

I actually bought some Christmas tat from store on Sunday when I was there for the Santa Dash. I bought this lovely mug to use at work for the next month... literally the only thing I found that was worth buying though.

Sorry for the bounce, but I found myself on Fulham's online shop today. Head and shoulders above the TAT we have on offer.

Not only is Adidas' training range decent. But the gifts and even the fashion range are actually almost tasteful!

This is obviously down to personal taste, but comparing the two stores. It seems like they've employed someone with retail experience and an knowledge of fashion and we've just (badly) sewn our badge on anything blue we could find at Ford market.

Feels like we're missing a trick here.

If you have ever bought anything from an Asian site direct you realise they have two size charts, one Asian and one for hairy gweilo types. Our extra large is small in Asian sizing. As far as kit goes it's better to be a big fish in a small pond, than a tiny, tiny minnow in the Nike pond.

I like to pop in to the club shop now & again when driving past; but always seem to leave disappointed. Apart from the kits, & some training gear, not much else on offer really.
I know this has been covered before & it's a no from the CEO, but a store in Churchill Square seems pretty obvious to me. IF we reach the PL, then passing trade & foreign students in the summer alone would be a gold mine.

Do they sell these trousers in the club shop/ superstore?

Just asking for a friend.

Went in a couple of times throughout December to get some bits for the kids and had the bright idea of getting myself some tracksuit bottoms for loafing about in at home, thought I'd best try them on beforehand but on both occasions the changing rooms were out of order (full up with boxes of stock)

Not wanting to strip off in the middle of the store, I decided to give it a miss... just struck me as a little odd when the majority of stuff on Sale was clothing, that despite having the space they opted to use it for storage instead of it's intended purpose.

I almost certainly would have looked like a pillock anyhow and so it saved me the embarrassment!

I noticed a lot of Fulham fans wearing new era hats yesterday, just had a look on the link you posted and they have a big range of new era caps and beanies. I have to say I'm exceptionally jealous of this, as a serial hat wearer I would spend some monies on adding to my hat collection. They have some nice stuff on their site :(

Any idea why the Albion hats have these names?

The merchandise is complete and utter garbage nowadays. Alright I'm not exactly Bradley Wiggins, but an XL polo shirt from absolutely anywhere else is usually just fine for me. In the club shop though, forget it. Even XXL is a bit "snug", and I don't even think they go above that on most stuff.

Errea's stuff was decent, I have several XL polo's from YEARS back that still fit fine. Since we switched to Nike though, its been unmitigated shit. I can't believe the club are making anywhere near as much as they used to on the clothing range. Its a shame, cos I like a polo shirt, but I'm not going to spend a year on SALAD just to get into one of the current ones.

I was in the shop at lunch time. It was busy.

Nobody buying anything though. Because it's all overpriced shit.

Don't see the headmaster Barber answering awkward questions about that though do you.

"Sale" consists of a 20 quid shirt you could buy in primark for a fiver.

Shocking.

Got to say the old Errea stuff I have still looks good today. A polo shirt I got at Christmas has lost its shape and colour after just a few washes. It really is cheap tat these days.
