    Minesadouble on SC

    To endorse Hertyid ITK via Dovakhiin. I went to a tunnel club event tonight (screening of PSV match and Q&A). Two ex player Ambassadors and 1 senior corporate ALL said ManU is the insider view of first game. However, all said: 1. Personal view only. 2. DL is dead set on first game possible. No Sky, or symetrical, influence to start with Man U. 3. Burnley is possible, subject to test events and safety certs but Club won’t risk another announcement followed by delay. So reality is even ITK is still not sure. 4. Earlier than Burnley is not possible. So 15 Dec is absolute earliest us internally confirmed.
What the absolute fudge does this mean?...

“2. DL is dead set on first game possible. No Sky, or symetrical, influence to start with Man U”

Absolute gibberish.
 
To open a shop you do not need to have (the same level of) safety certificates and to hold test events in order to get those safety certificates.
I wouldn't worry about how we are perceived by the press. The custodians of the club are gradually delivering on their long term vision. The stadium will be open at some point in the future and at the point of opening it will be the finest in the World and cater for our needs for many years to come. If you have to put up with the odd, rubbish Daily Mail headline along the way then so be it.

Not worried; but ultimately the shop will end up having a "meh" feel about it if the stadium opens up 6 months or more afterwards vs 2/3 months afterwards imo. People want to see the wonder of a new stadium not how big a new megastore is.
New fantastic Stadium without a megastore = "woohoo"
New massive great megastore without a stadium = "so what"
 
Opening the store early also allows them the luxury of a soft launch to iron out any creases before they have to deal with thousands of people within an hour or so on a match day.

I agree with this and suspect it'll be no more than two months ahead of the real thing
 
Should the Club have closed all retail outlets while the Stadium build was going on? Should they have refrained from opening any new stores anywhere in that time? Or is it that the new store is next door to the stadium that gets your goat? If the new ticket office and extra store are finished before the stadium opens its doors should transferring ticket operations and selling merchandise (or tat in your words) from that building be stopped in your view?
Or is it that if someone mocks the club for doing these things, you don't feel confident that you could wipe the floor with the macarons?

As ive said elsewhere, a new megastore ends up being 'meh' if it opens more than 2/3 months before the actually important big deal aka stadium imo.
