The one in Boslam has moved to where their indoor place for youngsters was, it doesn't look too bad. I can understand them opening a pop up shop for Christmas as a lot of grandparents will find it ideal for presents for Vale supporting families, those who might not think to travel to Boslam to pick a top up etc. Their shop has always been much better than ours, always stocked with plenty of non vale footy kit and balls and other sporting equipment. Wasn't the indoor place for youngsters a condition of the money they borrowed from the council?

Regarding the meggsy post Wasn't the original club shop closed down many years ago because they were selling non Vale stuff as it then becomes a sports shop ? Are they flouting the law again then ?

Think it was something to do with the non payment of rent to Billy Bell ,they said the roof pissed in and would not pay or something along those lines. If they had listened to Charlie the brief that could have been a Ferrari dealership. Hindsight is such a wonderful thing.

You know I'm in two minds about this.
On the one hand the Potteries Centre looks a bit sad with so many unoccupied units. On the other hand a Vale shop is probably a less attractive option than the cartoon woman with the perky tits* on the boarded up windows.

Should move that Indian bird who does the eyebrow stuff, there's ample room there for a fail shop.

Wonder how much of their merchandise will say 'Stoke-on-Trent' on it?
That should also have been a Council bail-out pre-requisite.

Which side of the shop is for away fans? There'll be a barrier of cardboard boxes in the middle of the store.

In the Potteries centre you say?
I assume it's a few tiers below the Stoke shop?
