In all seriousness not everyone would have seen the messages about the new club shop so yeah the club should've put something on the door to the old one. Even an arrow pointing right could have been usefull. I'm assuming Stuart is correct in saying nothing was there.

Yep, no signs on the doors of the previous club shop. No directions to the new place. (Or even any acknowledgement that a new place had been opened.) Loads of people wandering around wondering why it was shut, kids upset they couldn’t buy a new shirt.
Contrary to what some have said, there was no visibility of the new shop from the main NRE entrance as there was some sort of kids’ fanzone there.
Obviously it’s *hilarious* to know it was just a few paces away down Newmarket road but you’d have to know that, wouldn’t you. If walking round from the Habbin, like a good third of our supporters, it was invisible.

I too walked to the old club shop and scratched my head as to why it was closed, however as I walked onto Newmarket rd the new clubshop hits you in the face.

Perhaps some kind of Batman style signal projector is required to light up the shop, seeing as the enormous club shop sign in big capital letters, yards from Newmarket Road is insufficient?

Happy to report that having followed the instructions above I found the new club shop. Must admit I was expecting slightly more club stuff and fewer curries but I had magnificent Rogan Josh all the same.
Just kidding obviously. I had a madras.
I can see how someone might miss it in fairness, if you come from the town side of the Newmarket road and stand in the Habbin you've no real need to walk as far as main entrance or Thrifty...who knows. Hopefully any one who missed it provided feedback so someone can pop a 'we have moved!' sign up on the old club shop.
(What's happening with the old club shop btw?)

Don't know if this has already been posted elsewhere, but what genius decided to make it impossible to access the new club shop unless you're standing in the NRE? I was in the Habbin on Saturday but decided to pop round to the club shop for my annual browse of the new merchandise. The old shop was closed with no explanation or notice in the windows. Quite a few more bemused looking supporters were hanging round, trying to get in. I remembered from reading the chairman's recent message that a new shop had opened in the Corona area / old Thrifty car park. I tried to find it. Couldn't even see it, let alone access it, as it was seemingly on the other side of the NRE turnstiles. The club must have lost hundreds of quid on Saturday as my experience clearly wasn't isolated. It just seems staggering to me that they could get this so wrong. You should have put it in your sat nav.Im not sure how you or anyone else can miss it especially as you knew it was on the old Thrifty site.I can assure you that the club shop did very well on Saturday as there was a big queue waiting to get in!Its staggering to me tha5 you couldn’t find it.Even Stevie Wonder was in the queue.
