Hi guys newbie here. Not sure if demand would be there but I've seen a couple of people wearing England versions of this. It's a t-shirt with subbuteo style pictures of an England 11 in a 4-4-2 formation. Maybe something similar for a rovers all time 11 or if it proves popular a 60's 70's etc versions ?

Get set up and get on ebay, amazon etc. You can sell things from your shop there as a trader. Capitulate on the pirate thing and you will see sales from all sorts of ppl not just fans.

Please keep any ideas coming in. Look elsewhere and see if there is something Rovers could consider. 1st meeting is at 6pm Wed 27th August.I will be noting all ideas down,as others will be doing elsewhere. Christmas is also coming!!!! Want to be able to consider the Pirate image,how we could expand on that. Wish we could get a Rovers/Pirate Gromit statuette.

I have one of those rovers subbuteo ones. Forget the company I bought it from, but I imagine they have copywrite on it.

I will tell you what's sick, it's people paying a million quid for a piece of grafitt when many suffer poverty I think you will find he was on about someone changeing is post about speedos not the graffiti post I was genuinely referring to the Wanksy. I think it is funny that it got sprayed. He is getting people arguing with one another. It's bollox

How about bucket hats been looking for one for ages no joy. I've got a bucket hat. They had some maybe 4 years ago on ebay. They were selling stuff that companies had supplied as prospective merchandise. They had two for sale. I tried to buy them for me and my mate, but they wouldn't sell to me as I was outside the UK. I got my sister to buy them instead. She went to pick them up on a match day and instead of 2 they gave her 4. She thought that was what I ordered. She sent me 2 and gave the others away to my brother and brother in law. I never wore mine as it was a bit big. My brother and brother in law never paid me either. Bastards !

Oh yes...... probably scare the kids on the beach though. I'm not big enough that the harpoons would have to be fired though.

would the beards be a set price or would you be able to haggle for them? £19.99 for a beard? Are you trying to put me out of business? ??

I see via FB that John Kayes has not been asked to be part of Barry's focus group. He always seems to have the knack of knowing what items the fans want, so I would have thought he'd have some good ideas.

Bloke who used to hire coaches and take non supporter club members to away games a few years ago. Nice bloke, always flogging something. T shirts, videos etc. A bit like a Bristolian Delboy, but not as good. Sorry John He did the original fanzine. Does anyone remember the crowd having yellow and red cards to hold up when the opposition committed a foul? I printed those, and John gave them away with the fanzine. That was Twerton era.

I am not sure if John actually applied,will ask him Saturday. Did tell BB after the Q&A that John should be involved. I am on panel and if I see BB before then,will tell him again about John,sure he will know more than most of us.

Don't know if this would be a big seller.... Well tacky but funny I'd buy one. I've never noticed this thread before but I bought my little girl a rovers baby grow and it ran so bad in the wash It turned everything light blue and one of the poppers came loose. By far the worst piece of clothing we've bought her which was really disappointing as at the time of buying it and putting on her I was so bloody happy and proud. I didn't take it back or complain which I know I should have done. I think I probably didn't because I know our clubs on its arse and it was only a few quid anyway but I think the quality of the merch could definitely be better. Someone also bought me a Rovers gnome a few years ago that looked like it had been hand painted by a blind monkey.

What is it? An eggcup without a space for an egg? A Russian doll with the other 10 players and DC hidden inside?
Or just a weird shiny European thing?

Maybe Tom Parkes is worshipped as a Demi-God in Eastern Europe. Every home has a Parkes Statue.

Hi guys!
Barry and the club have actually formed a fans retail panel. Although only founded last month, we've already got some solid core ideas. We meet monthly to come up with new ideas for the club shop, so if you want I can forward all the ideas here?
- RE the Beard shirts, I've already designed a beard vector from an image of Sinclair's beard (see my avatar) which could easily be put on various mediums of merchandise. The only concern is that they have a limited lifespan, in that we don't know how long Sinclair will be around. We don't want to be stuck with dead stock if he leaves at the end of the season. That said, we'd have to play it by ear. - Phone Cases - I'm working on designing some new ones for iPhone 4 and 5 models, with a nice variety to choose from. - Polo Shirts - Some other people on the team are helping design some simple and affordable, yet good quality polos. - Kids stuff - We are hoping to expand our kids range, which is limited at best at the moment.
If you have any ideas regarding merchandise, feel free to hit me with a PM.

I'd have one if there was a 1950 / 1960 version with no advertising. It could go along side these in the living room.
