I go to Knighton every 6 weeks for work so had a feeling it was this shop. I always stop to see if I can go in but the owner is never there! You have to call him and whenever I did he was out of town. I saw the same item you bought in the window but i was after a Derby subbuteo team which he apparently didnt have. What was it like inside? Is there a lot more stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what sort of a treasure trove it is inside. It was shut when I went past but unsurprising as it was in the evening, but it doesn't look like a conventional shop with actual opening hours. As you say, the owner has his mobile number on a notice on the door saying he's unlikely to be in and phone him! So I did the next morning and left a message. He called back and arranged to post the stadium to me as I had already passed through Knighton walking the Offa's Dyke Path. I hope you get to arrange a time to look around if there is more stuff inside apart from the window display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no eating allowed anywhere near my stadium either. I don't want greasy finger marks smudged all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKHunter Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I have one at home. My nephew bought it from the store . Possibly around 2007 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaffyRam Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Ok, probably a stupid question (and a bit like the Ram’s eye), but when did they paint the Meccano set on the stadium roof black? Noticed it was black this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trawling back through my obsessive photos taken at the start of each match the roof is silver as per the top picture on 7/5/16 v Ipswich (I took a photo of my mate rather than the roof for the Hull home PO game!) and then black against Brighton on 6/8/16 the next season.

Can think of lots of non flattering answers but I suspect you were eyes down looking for players to accost for a Selfie. PS I think black is not a good colour up there, prefer white.
