Kids kits at GP

[Woolly Blue]

Went to the game yesterday with my two girls. Eldest got her kit a fortnight ago and wanted to now treat the youngest. She's 4, nearly 5 and average size etc.

Went into the shop at the ground at about 12.30pm. It was reasonably busy but nothing you would call overwhelming. Looked all around for a home kit for her and couldn't find a thing. A few kits were there but a bit too big, but I'd have gone with them had it not been for 'Kone' printed on the back of all of them.

Overall the choice was just terrible. Of the 40 kits there maybe 35 were one size and 5 were another.

Anyway, went to try and speak to one of the staff about sizes and was told she was too busy on matchday to deal with anything like ordering etc. I said I only want her to check if there were any other sizes in stock but no she blanked me. Found another girl who basically pointed to the Kone kit and said directly to my little girl - "go on that would be lovely wouldn't it".

So I gave up, picked her an Everton teddy and will resolve now to try and buy something off the internet for her but boy was it poor service yesterday.

Can't get the adult kits in women's fit at all now either. That's £50/season they're losing from me (men's fit of any size just swamps me)

email them and let them know. Gives them a chance to put things right.

Really? What size mate? I was in that little corner near the shop window and service counter. I was after a 'Medium' but the only one there bizarrely had a "Liam" printed on it!

It was near the entrance. but hidden behind a partition. I think when you get towards the tills and then head back towards the entrance they were easier to see. We only found them after we'd been around the shop once. Was about to head off then doubled back to go around again and found them.

Its because of the way the nike/kitbag deal works, any stock we want has to be ordered in a batch of 10,000 I believe so unfortunately its not as simple as the demand being there so supply it, as if theres only a demand for 500 extra, they cant really justify buying an extra 10,000 to fill demand of 500. If the club did do that we would also be slaughtering them for wasting money so I think its fair despite being dissappointing.

This is also the exact reason why they havent done a womens kit the last two years, as i recall one article on the main site stating that previously they sold on average about 2000 womens tops a year, so they couldnt justify having a womens one giving that the minimum order was 10,000 and we would be stuck with 4/5ths of the stock unsold.

I bought a top for my girlfriend last season, got her the XL boys and they had an offer where you could get the chang logo printed on for free, it was the best they could do

The club shop isn't big enough. They don't carry enough stock Dell. Because its not big enough.

So you were never going to be satisfied yesterday. Especially on match day.

Why 'especially on a match day' ? Isn't that the day when 95% of fans choose to go and try and buy something. It being a match day is absolutely no excuse.

They've often gone in the back to find stuff for me tbh.

Lad wants the Yellow Away for his B'day but tbh if they aint reducing it then he's no chance, I aint paying £70 with about 2 occasions that they'll wear it left this season.

I was looking at this the other day, aren't the shirts normally half price or 2 for 1 in January? My birthday is the end of the month and I was gonna get a shirt, but not at full price.

Maybe because they are now collectors items (because of the 1 season badge) they are staying at full price!

I genuinely believe that the club cannot operate the entire club at the same time. They can focus on some areas and then the others seem to drop in quality. I am sure you aren't the only person who has had a bad experience like this but I'm guessing the person in charge will be doing something else instead.

Have you tried Everton 2? they are a much bigger store.
