I must be in a minority here. I do not find it confusing in the slightest. Firstly select whether you want the price to be shown with or ex VAT. Then you simply select the item you want and then select the size. Correct price shown. Simples.

Re: Stanley Store
 

Thats fine outback but if quite a few people are confused i dont regard that as good marketing, do you?:rolleyes:

Re: Stanley Store
 

What a fuss about nothing. You go online, select your shirt / shorts size and pay the price indicated. What could be simpler? Surely we al know the the universally used" price from" covers a range of sizes. "Ain't rocket science"!:D

Re: Stanley Store
 

I dont buy online from stanley store i go in the store, which i will not be doing now, nowt simpler than that.:rolleyes:

Re: Stanley Store
 

I heard the stock is all up at Plastic Box Shop HQ, presuming all the deliveries will be sent out from there so probably quicker to use their website...

Not a problem for me that it says from £29.99, most online shops do say this these days!

Re: Stanley Store
 

Funny that, i do buy many things online, not one of those i use does that!!:rolleyes:

Re: Stanley Store
 

If its a massive online shop then you would select from childrens clothing, womens and mens - prices would be shown accordingly. Now, all shirts are under one tag and must show 'from'. It's acceptable, normal and perfectly proper.

Move along, nothing to see here.

From what I've read about Andy Holt, I don't think there's any need to worry about this. There may be some change in future but, for the present, I'm sure that these arrangements are the best for the club

Re: Stanley Store
 

I can understand people being wary of change because of owners at other clubs running the club into the ground for their own gains but...

So far Andy Holt has wiped 1.2 mill debt, completely bulldozed the back of the Clayton End and re building it from scratch, building a brand new stand on the Cow Shed, new drainage on the pitch, not to mention his money in the 2 months when we didn't have any income with postponed games, could we have survived without that money?

Whether you agree or disagree with some things that he's done, he has put his money where his mouth is and doing everything he said he would do!

Keep The Faith.

Re: Stanley Store
 

Aye, Owen Oyston the second!

If there was any dishonourable intentions I'm sure he would have bought a more profitable local club like Clitheroe or Chorley perhaps :-).

As a slight aside - what many owners do in multiple businesses is run one business under the umbrella of a parent company. One business can make a loss and it is offset against the profits of the parent company. In laymans terms for us it would mean that if we made a million pound loss it would be a million pound less profit for Wham (for example), that would be a million pound less that they have to pay tax on (20% I think). To the parent company they would have saved 200k but still made an overall loss of 800k. Could the offset company be made to be worth 800k per year via advertising etc?

Not applicable to us particularly, as that hasn't happened - but it could, and it does happen.

Re: Stanley Store
 

not uneasy at all, on the contrary

a professional company is now ensuring merchandise ordered is being processed properly with an easy to use website.

Lets be honest, until Lancs Dave got involved, merchandise customer service was poor.
I can recall articles on here of fans from around the world complaining about why their order still had not turned up 2 months later and no one from the club was taking ownership of the issues.

Lancs Dave turned merchandise around and now the Andy Holt is getting his company to take it forward.

All positive

Re: Stanley Store
 

I tend to agree as well. One of the attractions of Stanley was that it seemed like you were contributing to the club and it was appreciated unlike some of the plastic clubs higher up the leagues where you were a customer not a fan. It was a struggle against the odds each season which made every season we stayed in the league more of a success.

Now we are backed by Andy Holt so the threat of the wolf at the door has receded. In effect we will be just another League 2 club once all the work is finished. Will that still attract curious casual fans? Who knows. I don't think Andy is here to damage the club but neither is he here to throw money away. As macca says it can be used for tax purposes, to attract grants etc and at the end of the day sold on to someone else to recoup some of the money if not all.

I haven't really looked at the online store much as I've been abroad and using my phone but from what I've saw nothing much appeals to me especially since the new shirt is so similar to the old one.

Re: Stanley Store
 

Adults and kids would normally be listed or advertised separately by a clothing retailer, whether it is Asda or a football club. It is unique to do it the way Stanley have done it, and is more likely to **** people off an cost sales than if the prices were clear up front.
