i love forest to bits, but i went round the club shop the other day with some forest vouchers and im thinking most of this stuff is shit, and not worth buyin i mean compared to other clubs i dont think we get value for money, it just looks like to me that everything is made for a price!!!! surely something can be done!!!!

I have bought a Phone case, keyring and 2 Car fresheners from there in the past. They all broke/didnt fit.

I agree the club shop needs a massive overhaul of the products they sell.The Casual non Umbro clothing looks un-tidy and cheap,The other products are not much to shout about either.I have been into a few club shops this season in the Championship and what is on offer for the fans is much better quality that our club shop comes up with.
One thing is that this season the match balls are i our Colours,You can buy these football in the club shop but are only availible in size 4 which i think is crap as most people over the age of 11 play with a size 5 football.

My misses i due next month so after the wednesday game i went in a nd bought a new born set.
It had hat, slippers, vest, suit and blanket. Thought it was pricey ar £16.99 but when you look at next or somewhere there a rip off two. Hopefully get a lot of use out the blanket.
My first son was bundled into a Forest fleece when he was 3 hours old and photos were taken. Thats it for life now and he cant change even if he wants to! Some call that child abuse but im going to do it again with the next one!
I thought some of the stuff was alright and a lot was reduced in price. Still a bit small though! Perhaps when we do up the main stand they will open a megastore type shop - that would be nice.
If i see a Starbucks in there like shite park im going to start watching cricket

I'd like to see a Starbucks there. I think it's good and gives rise to an extra dimension of supporter.
If the only watering hole option was to sit next to Ebby at the supporters' club, I think I'd make it Bridgford for about 14.55 every game.
Some people may have the same opinion about the pubs around there. Families, kids, women etc may prefer the Starbucks environment. A place not filled with thugs, where trouble is likely.
If the club can do anything to make the experience of a match day better for more people then I whole heartedly support it.
I would also buy a Starbucks on my way into the ground every game.
I agree the club shop needs to be improved big time
before Christmas I went to buy a Anniversary medal for my dad which I saw a previous week but when i got there it wasn't there any more
I was then in the club for a bout a hour and a 1/2 before I gave in and just got some gift vouchers.
then last week I went in the club shop with my dad so he could spend the vouchers and we was in there again for about an hour before he give up and decided to spend the vouchers on tickets instead.

They had a size 5 on Boxing Day, I saw it pre game, but didn't want to carry it during the game, so decided to go back and get it after the match. Unfortunately it had gone!

I just think anything the club can do to open the club up to a wider array of fans is a positive move.
I would stress that I wouldn't like to see Starbucks there in place of the pubs, just alongside them.

Starbucks is a definate no - no for me. It is a step to far in the corporate enviornment in my eyes. You can buy a coffee in the ground anyway. Imagine everyone singing on a cold december afternoon, everyone would have coffee breath. They could build a starbucks outside the ground, but not inbuilt into the stadium, like at Pride Park. Id rather have a bigger club shop or 'physcho's bar' - like the geordies have 'Shearers'! Having said that, a bar called pyschos might attract a certain clientel! Pearce's would be a more appropriate name.
The only people who should drink coffe are teachers and the French

I thought the Starbucks at PP was one of the best things about the ground.
A lovely big Starbucks in, or right near, the ground would see me get there a lot earlier, sit in there having a coffee before heading to the pub for 1ish.
I'm not French, nor a teacher.

There's nothing wrong with Starbucks.
I'd prefer to see a proper Costa set up, or Caffe Nero, but Starbucks would be just as good.
I wonder how business at PP starbucks is during December, when they have their 'Red Cups' on show!
If they opened one here, I'd like to see them us the 'Red Cups' all year long.

No wonder my post count..
My keeper top has lasted me pretty well since I purchased it in October. With diving about on Astroturf 2 days a week, you'd think that would rip any garment.

What do you think the game was played with on Boxing Day, Rich...
...they could hardly have sold you a used one!!!
I would love for a Starbucks, or alternative decent coffee house, to be in the vicinity of or inside the City Ground.
As I am invariably driving, beer is out of the equation and the current offer is something with an identity crisis which resembles nothing remotely close to coffee. The only resemblance to a hot drink is the fact that it's usually the temperature of the sun and useful only for warming the hands.
As for the Club Shop, I have purchased a number of things over the years but definitely room for improvement. They could monopolise the shirt market if only they revised their prices.
