Reminder: DO NOT shop at Beyond Sport (@ Telstra Dome)

saintbrat · Post: # 540591Post **saintbrat** » Tue 01 Apr 2008 2:23pm

I must admit I occasionally feel like being very very rude and walking into Beyond Sports at Telstra dome and saying to sainters I see buying in there;
" do you realise you are putting profit into the Bombers pockets?"

the way to get more for the saints is too purchase at SAINTS SHOPS
-at the Club
- Via the internet- online
-at the tent on the Bridge for Most games at telstra Dome
- at HOME games -at the saints shop Inside gates 6/7 at telstra Dome

the Bombers get the profit from Beyond sports- take the short work to the other end of the ground or plan ahead and buy before.

The club should pay someone to stand outside with a sandwich board

"All profits from sales at this shop go to the Essendon football club
If you want your money to go to StKFC then shop at the booths outside the ground, or at the club, or via the website"

Of course no doubt the insipid parasite Collo would try to put a stop to it though given it is a factual inoffensive message i'm not sure how he would justify that ?

I had a suspision when i walked in there once and one whole side of the shop was devoted to essendon

yea, i think once people are aware of this, it will hopefully generate more funds for sainters not bombers. good idea posting it here, word of mouth is a wonderful thing at times.

remember also that in perth the AFL stores a % of the profits go's driectly to the WAFC and in turn ends up in the eagles and the dockers pockets !! so for all of your saints stuff use the online shop its cheeper and the cash gos direct to the club !

i_luv_nick_riewoldt · Tue 01 Apr 2008 8:21pm

Now that we are discussing store's profits. Would HWH store have the profits going to saints? Or should i just try and buy from the club directly?

saintbrat · Post: # 540845Post **saintbrat** » Tue 01 Apr 2008 8:22pm

is there still a HWH in Werribee Plaza?

I wouldn't think profits would go to anyone but HWH - guys have to make a living somehow ;p
but from searching for an online link for them i notice that they do contribute to local sports organisations and awards.

If anyone in the "know" can advise our shops to actually stock Medium and large clothing as twice in two weeks they didnt have these sizes so it makes it hard to buy from them.

Why don't you email Ben Hall-Membership & Merchandising Manager and ask him to ensure and hold what it is you want. benh@saints.com.au

I have found him very helpful !!

Hopefully what Archie said at the AGM will eventuate - when they are sorting out the new contract at the dome they are going to try for a huge merchandise shop run buy the club.. Way overdue in my opinion, it will help supporters who cannot get to the club to buy and very helpful when the move to frankston happens....

Well i buy all my stuff straight from the shop at Moorabbin.

This 'mega' shop sounds like an awesome idea and if it doesnt eventuate by the time we are down in frankston i wont be very happy.
