Thats pretty shocking considering its proximity and the fair number of Villa fans that live there. Of course you can't get a Villa shirt there, it's owned by Mike "Phillip Green" Ashley! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturally each stock absolutely no Villa merchandise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 The Shanghai under armour store had a villa display, we were more prominent than the Spurs shirts not 100% sure who the Chinese bloke who tweeted it was but he seems to have some involvement with us 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I can't even buy my 4 year old lad a kit until the end of the month because of manufacturing issues! Kit deal needs addressing big time for next season and we need clothing, kits etc ready for the summer holidays. In addition, major advertising of the brand and kit in Grand Central i think? Are we really getting the best out if Under Armour, including exposure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I think it's a case of knowing where we are at the moment, do we have a huge push in Dubai and Tokyo* now and watch it fail or do we wait until next season when we're hopefully in the premier and almost certainly with a huge new shirt sponsor deal, we've got a year to get it right, I've got confidence that we will *from my experience of trying to watch the premier league in Tokyo the popularity of it there is vastly exaggerated, even the "English pubs" didn't have it on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I needed to pop in to the Villa Park store during the week - I was the only person in there. Financially speaking I doubt there is little point keeping either the shop or the ticket office open on non-match days at Villa Park. If people need either service in person, they can easily get it in Birmingham City Centre. No-one is in Aston on non-match days! Personally I'd close the New Street store and make the Villa Park store only open match days. Reinvest the cash on a prime spot in the Bullring/Grand Central that caters for both services. More footfall, advertising the club and more sales (merchandise AND tickets) from people who are just passing and get enticed in! If desperate maybe make Villa Park a pick up point (counter rather than shop), but still doubt it'd be used. I wouldn't bother with Resort World yet, I don't know many people who have even visited yet. Resorts world is utter dog doodoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea on costings here, but a new store in the Bullring or Grand Central would be good for income and exposure. Footfall must be good in those areas. Hasn't tony already set up links in resort world? (Look at club deals thread, sure I saw something in there ) Edited September 11, 2016 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
