This has been mentioned on the IF and facebook,now its Gaschats turn! I am on the above(not sure if anyone else on this forum is-JTS jr?) can we get some good ideas from you lot.Do not mind pinching ideas from other clubs/shops,you may have seen stuff and thought "why don't Rovers sell those"etc. Have to remember though,it has to be stuff that will sell. No good selling say, 25 alarm clocks when the minimum we can order is 50,don't want dead stock laying on the shelves.well not the stuff we the fans have told Rovers to get in!!
I am really keen on this idea,the club has given us fans a chance to have a say in the merchandising,want to make it a success,who knows what it could lead to? Hoping John Kayes will also get involved,a lot of you will know he comes up with items the club does not sell,if you saw his stall at the Open Day you will know.
If you go in the club shop please have a good look around,are there things you wish were on sell? Are there things you think are rubbish? I hate to mention Christmas but ideas for the festive season will have to be thought about. I am no expert,I don't know how long these things would take to arrange.
Hoping to get a good response from Gaschat,will take note of all the suggestions,just keep them coming!
Any chance of having this pinned?
Thanks

How about clappers and cheer sticks for the kids. Both cheap and cheerful, have seen them used at prem games ( probably given out free) but reckon we could sell them. Also, attended a game in the states where they had paper streamers. Don't know if the club's shirt printing facilitates would be able to print slogans etc. If so it would be easier to have a stock of plain t-shirts and produce "in" up to date sayings,slogans that would be specific to the gas. We could let our imaginations run riot.

Well I would buy one. Thanks Cool ... my other idea was to enlist UWE fashion design students to work on a range of fashionable designs reflecting the uniqueness of being Gas (Pirates, Gasheads, Rovers) including looking at our history (Black Arabs etc) ... they may be able to give a fresh perspective ...

Flags. Small flags for kids. Stock buy at 20p sell at £1. Quarters or pirate flags.

Books are always popular. Maybe get a few of these in stock, but the Board will need to have a read first to check it is suitable material.

Oldie, sorry you feel it is a sop,complete and utter nonsense. But aswell as you know,fans have been complaining about merchandise for years,whats the harm in trying to get what the fans want,or should we all just carry on as normal and moan? Yes it is Boycie who is "leading" the group so what?,with a group of a dozen or so fans involved,one would hope and expect some notice to be taken. What goes on on the pitch is of course the most important thing,but that does not mean there are other things Rovers related to look at.

I would absolutely love club if the club brought out a range of retro shirts, such as the infamous 'Tesco Bag' or the 1990 League Winning Shirt and other shirts from the 70s & 80s.
I'm absolutely certain they would sell well! They'd sell well with both young and older fans.

Thanks Thatchersgas,a few have said about retro stuff. Not sure about the Tesco Bag tho! (Maybe-one day-a Sainsbury Bag!!!)
Any more for any more?

I'm sure it's already been said but if it's possible I think mini flags, rattles, etc. that can be taken into the ground would sell well. As well as adding to the atmosphere at the same time.

I have posted this before so sorry if you have read it previously !
What is it most Gasheads like to do at games (que watch football) ??
They like to be part of a group, tribe collective ie they want to be part of the club
So what is the simplest way to demonstrate that ??
You Don the club colours !
Now look around the ground and spot the gasheads not having the colours on
and what do these people have in common ??
They are of the "Larger Size" and cannot find a top to fit them
So my suggestion is for the club shop to stock bigger plus size tops
Most of the tops in the shop stop at 44"-46" make that 52"-54" and you would sale loads
BUT MAKE SURE YOU MAKE YOUR CUSTOMERS KNOW ABOUT IT AS WELL !
