According to the Adver, the shop is closed today. Now, you might have thought that today, being the last day of the 'early bird' renewal period, may just have seen a fair few extra people around the place - increasing the opportunity of merchandise sales.

They really don't think things through. (Unless I am missing a very good reason for closure)

 Doesn't bother me....the money probably goes to Newbuiry anyway.

"Stock take" apparently

its almost as if the people who make these decisions are so bad they are trying to get on the next series of the apprentice!

how I would love to say to Starnes and Gray .. YOURE FIRED!! :ha:

It could be that in their busiest time, they seem to have only one person doing the season tickets, due to illness.

Yeaterday, the woman in the club shop was helping out, so whether they've just closed the shop to get the ST's processed.

That would qualify as "good reason" in my book

"One for STFC, One for me" - Mikey Diamond

I beleive that it is the end of their financial year so they are probably checking what stock they have left over....and then telling Sandy so she can add it to the balance sheet, it obviously takes all day to stock take though in such a massive shop like that...more like 30 mins !!

They could just as easily do it on 1st June, if that were the case - hopefully they'd have less to count by then !

What the hell has financial year end got to do with it anyway, see you have fallen into the trap that they actually do accounts and everything at STFC.

Sandy sits there with an abacus and then passes the figures to Mikey who uses his expertise to ensure that they add up!

Only one person at the ticket office today, although another woman came along to do credit/debit card renewals, but nothing else. Quite a big queue I was there for about 40 minutes and they'd only got through one person so I left.

I got done after an hour and 20. The woman doing debit card renewals refused to do my debit card new one. How lame.

Why? What a load of cock.

Them not you Alexis

So you still had to wait a while even after I left then Blackcurrant...

That woman at the front was there for fucking ages I swear she was renewing for most of Swindon.

Early bird prices have been extended to 4th June.

Oh and apparently the nice messy haired scottish bloke that works there was rushed to hospital earlier that's why they only had one.

you mean my mate Richard  :o  is he ok?

Blimey, he's the only non-football members of staff at that club i had any time for, get well soon Jock.

WRONG!!!  It's probably "One for STFC, Four for me"

I have no idea tbh, I hope so he's quality.

I heard it was Pneumonia

I hope he's ok as people have said he is the only decent one in the ticket office

poor fella, he's a good bloke. i barely go in there and he knows me.

Get well soon! All last season on the 3 or 4 occasions where we didnt buy tickets on the day, he would already know where we wanted to sit roughly and know our names and that me and my mate were both Student concession and didnt even ask for ID compared to the other miserable fuck. Lovely man. My thoughts go out to him.

Get well soon chap.
He let me change seats for the Torquay game from my season ticket  TE->South for free as I was buying an extra ticket. Shhhhhhhhhhh.

selling like hot cakes then? haha

'one team, one goal' ?!!  I was hoping we would score a few more than that next season !

To be fair they have been saying the shop would be shut for ages.

And they've extended the deadline.

So no complaints from me

Got mine eventually. Another very long queue when we arrived at 5 and when we left at 6.
