Problem Officer? Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Good - it's embarrassing having more Celtic or Rangers advertising/merchandise in Edinburgh than Hearts or Hibs as it just encourages more gloryhunting losers which is one of the major reasons why Scottish football is so crap.

Erik Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Good. Sums up the problems of Scottish football that there was even a market for it here in the first place. The closure would suggest that there clearly, and unsurprisingly, WASNT a market for it.... They might go for all that through west, but in a Canterbury-clad city such as this one - horrific celtic trackies were never gonna catch on.

Victorian Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 takings are probably down due to an underlying prejudice against them. it would be just like all non-celtic supporting scottish people to shun their store. mr mcbride will be seething.

heartsfc_fan Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I do believe the gyle had a Rangers shop for a while (years ago) and that was promptly closed. No old firm shops in Edinburgh now? The way it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambonian Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Reminds me of the story i posted here once before, was walking along Princes St, stopped to cross and an American couple asked me if i knew where the Heart of Midlothian store is. They were told about the Heart of midlothian on the city tour bus they were on and wanted to take some football memorabilia from Edinburgh back home to the states. I said you'd need to go to the stadium and directed them towards Dalry etc never thought i'd see them again and forgot all about it until i was going to the bus stop an hour or two later and recignised the woman, i asked if she'd managed to find the Hearts shop alright but she said no so she ended up in the Celtic shop to take EDINBURGH memorabilia (her words!)home as presents. If Hearts and Hibs can't afford to run a shop on their own, how about an "Edinburgh soccer/football shop in Princes St, Hibs down one side and Hearts down the other? Hate seeing Smeltic and Rankgers tops all over Edinburgh! (Don't particularly like seeing Hibs tops either but at least they're from here...ish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I too have used it for it's more appropriate purpose in the past and my wife refuses to walk past it with me on a night out in Edinburgh because of my pished rants about it.

Tokyo Drifter Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I spotted to the To Let sign today, funnily enough. I was once stopped by a clipboard-carrying woman doing market research outside asking me a load of questions about whether or not I had shopped there etc, which I played along with. Hilarious.
