Now I know what it must be like to be involved in one of those Myer sale days. Within 10 seconds of the doors opening the room was packed wall to wall. Bit disappointed as all mainly adult stuff (no kids gear).
I had to laugh as they still had out those awful yellow guernseys we played in. Must say though, didn't exactly see people rushing to buy them.
Prices were reasonable with guernseys going for between $40 to $50. Shame there wasn't any other real merchandise except mainly clothing. A few 2007 footies (with the pre-print sigs) for $10 and mounted 2007 team posters for $50 (can't see these walking out the door).
They had a few of the simple polo tops for $10 so that was fairly good value. However after about 10 minutes I had to leave, just couldn't stand the crush and I am sure we were running out of oxygen

I didn't go this year....last year I remember no kids stuff and also (which was disgraceful) that the merchandise shop wasn't open.
Sounds like the same occurred this year.
If so, what a joke!
If you have hundreds down at the club, try and flog off some regular stuff as well.....especially when there are no goodies for the kids in the Trevor Barker Room.
Just common business sense IMHFO.

The crowds? blame Ebay..
I reckon a good few of the people there when the doors open were there to score come stock for their Ebay stores..not even Saints fans. Go to a school fete at opening time and see what I mean
Couldnt make it myself this year but I well remember last year waiting for a good 20 mins at the checkout counter. Every item purchased had to be hand-written one-by-one into an exercise book...the queue stretched the length of the room.
Good prices to be had without doubt. I'd be as good as certain that the prices are pretty close to cost..so its all about clearing space rather than making big bucks.

I went along got a Dal Playing Jersey which seems fairly popular, got some shorts and other gear too. You had to really be there prior to 6.30pm for the well recognised players gear, however it was really well organized this year.
