New Phoenix Shop?

oh, well done then.

went down to hunter st today, just to see if the store was almost ready to open before the fist home game - still nothing looking like a store, all i saw were a couple of workman sitting on their arses having lunch and really not looking to motivated to get anything done.

I have to say this but if your wanting a home shirt with a number or a name on it, don't wait until the phoenix store opens. Even if the store opens on Wednesday, I can't see them getting it back to you in time for Sunday's game.

Its just another disappointing showing from the Nix team. I know they've worked hard to get Sony on board etc, but how can a sponsor or us as fans be happy with the lack of a Nix store where we can spend our money (and our $25 voucher) and support the club we love!

Give it time. New shops can take a while and I'm sure it hasn't been top prority. Maybe signing Sony and re-making shirts, all the graphics etc was more important?
That and sorting out season passes etc

And yet is season on when the Nix were just getting started and were under all that pressure we had a brand new shop within a week or so - the old shop has been closed for months, no nix sales..the new shop has been promised for almost as long. Each of the so called delaying factors are dealt with by different parts of the nix team - Ticketek deal with the season passes,(badly), Reebok deal with the shirts, so that leaves the nix team or at least some of them to make sure we have a shop to go to!

does anyone know if the store will be selling stickers?? And if not where can I get my hands on one,  I want one for my bicycle.

I got a few "Stand Up" ones. Will bring them on Sunday. However things like club badges and other types of stickers are an yntapped market for the Nix. Key rings, pencil cases, lunch boxes, water bottles, pens, coffee mugs, Beer handles, pillow slips, duvet covers, Team/player posters,  all sorts of things we dont really see are just waiting for the club to get a peice of.

Actually looking at whats online there's a good range there LG but for collectors badges etc would be good.Must be lots of travelling or o/s Kiwis who might like some gear too?

The club are on a real gold mine so long as they are allowed to used the licences. Man U and Arse fans can tell you whats available in their shops. No doubt it will get better.

Have also put this in the new shirts thread, but after a few emails I have clarified the position from David Dome Marketing Manager is as follows:

Phoenix themselves will only be selling SONY shirts.  These will not be available in time for the game on Sunday they think, so it's likely the first time they can be purchased from them (ie using the vouchers) will be when the Phoenix Store reopens next Friday 21st or at the members only event the day before (Thursday 20th).  The vouchers can be used at the stadium, but as there won't be any shirts this Sunday, could only be used for other merchandise.

Cheers for enquiring mate!  Bit of a let down, but means theres more time to save haha

It's getting closer...

looks cool  

Its a sign!!

I'm still not sure where it is? I have looked on the bus, and I always assumed it was going to be the one on the corner - is it next door to that one (corner of Hunter and Willis?)?

Im pretty keen to get a Number plate thing for my car? if you know what i mean, anyone know where i could get one of those!

Hunter and Jervois Quay.  The ASB tower is where the Phoenix offices are and it's on that corner... opposite where Victoria Street starts.

Corner of Hunter and Jervois quay

I want to get it sent out though cause i live in Napier!

Ryos still had a few the last time I was in.

Granville's House opening this week...

YAY!

Finally managed to get to the new nix shop today......was I disappointed  hardly anything new. I already have the home and away shirt and apart from a few things for the kids and girlies there was nothing...the discount for spending $50 was an ok idea but there was nothing to spend it on...so wasnt worth the offer. I feel that the nix have really missed the boat here and that RYOS have so stolen their thunder. In fact Ryos sell the nix jacket which is useful for the colder nights  and the nix dont...sort of tells a story for me

Thanks we appreciate the feedback and will continue to deliver and provide what you guys would expect,

They are there every match day.  Right outside the feverzone.

So you go in and turn left ?

Hard to miss if you go right.

Just asking.

It is the traditional merchandise spot for events at the the stadium and is in the direction the majority of people head.  I can't imagine it is viaqble for them to set up a seperate stall and staffing it when only a couple of hundred people sit around that side.

Lucky you've got folks to let you know where it is so you can check next time.

Complaints to DKP22.

Personally if I wanted to find it and I was walking past the inormation desk at aisle 18 I'd just ask them where it was... but maybe that is just me.

So you've never seen the ice sculpture at aisle 25?
Or the dancing polar bears at aisle 29?

Wow, you're missing out man!


(anyway, you should sit on the right to help make the crowd look bigger on TV ...)

I too thought there wasn't really that much in the shop, but there wasn't last year either really.
