No doubt other outlets would give the sales a chance to be increased. The Internet has to be the best option after the club shop, but that means the customer has to be confident they are going to get the goods and in good time.
I don't think those sales would be robbing Peter, just giving him an option to get them at his own convenience
. At the end of the day as long as the sale is going back to the club with minimum outlay thats what matters.
I think the club do under-estimate the opportunist sale from non Stanley supporters and even non football supporters. As we have said before we do get people loking for a small memento/gift for their Stanley supporting friends/family. Those people are not going to make a special trip up to the club shop to spend a fiver.
