Random one but i understand some fans are involved in merchandise working groups to improve the club shop.
Im due to become a Dad for the first time in April and have noticed a very limited stock of stuff and what is there has often been sold out for the best part of a year.
If anyone reading this is involved could they put in a word about getting some decent stuff in. Id love to kit my new baby out in Rovers stuff. If not they will end up in Everton stuff which will be a shame.

Nice one Dins. Hope all goes well in April. Can't help on the merchandise stuff. I waited until my lot were three before buying kit.

Most clubs do babygrows and stuff. Rovers have one design which has been there for years but seems forever sold out.
I cant be the only one wanting to buy some fun stuff for my baby ??
Theres a thread on the i.f basically saying Barry didnt listen to the committees and buys everything job lot off a mate in west brom.
Ill have a dig around on ebay

I went in and they were really naff. A few ok things aimed at older kids. There was a comment by Barry saying they would look at merchandise for younguns so was hoping someone on here was on one of the committees

I bought a baby grow for my daughter last year and the first time I washed it it ran so bad it was ruined, the blue trim turned the whole thing light blue and also ruined everything I washed it with.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't anything I did wrong as I've never dyed anything badly like that before.

I was there tonight at the fans retail panel and for a time it did get uncomfortable. BB lost it for a while and questioned if it was going to do any good. This I think(and everyone agreed)was in part due to 2 people who were attending for the 1st time ,and to be honest just would not shut up! They ended up walking out,which we all thought was not the thing to do. Meeting continued in a much better vein after that. The fans there really want to make this work.
I know there have been lots of suggestions on forums,Dins baby stuff for instance,but we cannot do everything at once,otherwise we would have a list as long as your arm! It is early days and we all have to work at how this is going to proceed.
We have agreed to start with a T shirt/polo shirt/bar scarf with a new design,a more discrete logo(probably 1883),the soft of stuff you would not mind wearing out to somewhere other than a football match. Meeting again at the end of the month to look at some final designs(which we hope to get out to fans to check out)and would really like it if a local company(Rovers fans?)could produce. Aiming to have this stuff for sale by mid November(?)
We did also talk about kids stuff,but mainly stuff kids could buy with their pocket money,a couple of good ideas there,and someone bought along some examples which we were keen on.
We all hope it will be a case of "little acorns"
To be honest I think there is a touch of "why change what we have already got 'cause it sells" by the club,hopefully if it does work,this will change.
To sum up,if it goes to plan,you will see some new BRFC gear before Christmas.

And a grandson 9 months ago, so I'll watch events with interest. |

You wouldn't buy some of those things quality wise if it wasn't Rovers related. |
