Shirt sales. Is it because selling via the club shops the club get all the profit.. Selling through sports direct etc the profit gets split ?
Honour and glory to the Silver Cod for their public display of support for HCFC. Take note other businesses/shops.
Sorry, PLT, but that's bunkum. If they are that far divorced from their customers, fellow citizens and (possibly) supporters, then they are ****ers and not up to their respective jobs.
I don't know if this is the answer, but can you buy any shirt other than the city the store is in? That would make sense to me.
Newport Chinese has an A4 banner up in their window, looks like it came out of a newspaper or something
I was in Beverley the other day and Dove House hospice had a poster up on the door saying they would be closed for the FA Cup Final and good luck to Hull City.
The sausage shack (lol) outside St Stephen's has one of those posters the HDM gave away up behind the counter too.
In 2008 Arco on Clive Sullivan Way had massive Good Luck flag for motorists entering Hull. At Princes Quay, massive City shirt hung over side for full height showing into Castle St. Is the Cup Final a smaller game than that play off game?
I'm sure it'll be something to do with that but other clubs manage to make it worthwhile. I'm sure Sports Direct etc will get much more footfall than Tiger Leisure's stores, both of which are out of the way to shoppers. There's a decent display on Londesborough/Wenlock Street with loads of City flags hanging out the windows of two neighbouring houses, but spoilt by a rogue Man United one on the end. Hard to understand the thought process there.
I was down Anlaby Road today, Malt Shovel has a Tiger head on the window, though that may always be there thinking about it... And it was either New Griffin or Three Crowns, not sure which, had a number of City flags adorning its frontage.
It was little things that made a difference in the past. The Mail should give away a card or something to put in shop windows like they have in the past. Also think the club should put a flag or something on every seat tomorrow, as a Wembley souvenir. Terrible lack of focus in marketing probably biggest day in club's history.
To be fair to him, James is great. Was the one who helped me out while I was over there, and has continued to keep in contact with me about a range of issues. He's a Toffee, but has grown up in Hull and loves the club.
There is a phone booth outside Telephone House that is painted in black and amber or possibly black and yellow to honour the Bee Lady lass. If it's the latter, then they need to do one that is the former too.
