I think, that getting one club right will then provide a platform that could then lead on to a new business that could supply clubs with what they need and want, but FFS Starbug, i cannot belive u have said it won't work, if we all did that then we would never get out of bed in a morning!
I think its a pretty sound idea and has bags of potnetial, well done Ian and best of luck with the venture

All just my opinion, I contacted several clubs with my idea ( including Fax ) but the responses I recieved back were dissapointing to say the least, no real understanding of what I was actually looking to achieve, far too much " why should we help them ?

So your saying the idea is beaten before its even started, packup go home, sit onour hands, and be like the rest and say it wont work, and he won't work with him etc
Its not personal Starbug, but its easy to say how at and why it won's work
I for one think its a good idea, that has the potential to grow. I far as i am awere, no where has it been said this idea/project is going to take on the world, but rather aimed at a soultion for Fax and its issues with kit supplies! and as a soultion for that, i think it has great potential to do just that, and if it leads to other things fantastic.
I agree getting others to work together is always hard, but if you don't try, then nothing would ever be achieved other than saying it won't work! | | |

Very difficult for me to comment at the moment, I can see both sides, but I'm watching the Xfactor,

I'd expect Fax to save a bit of cash and raise a bit more income than in previous years, and good luck to Mr Croad in that | | |

Starbug,
I do agree with you, however, I think at present it is just a reaction to the poor service we have had from xblades over the last few years. They failed to deliver on all items they promised. this has caused embarrassment to the club the loyal servants in the shop and to Malcolm in particular who has taken a lot of flack (unwarranted). Lets see how it goes, any improvement will be welcome.
 '"
You are not alone in having problems with supply ( we had issues with Kukri who source from China and ISC from Aussie,China ) , when it is bonkers for small individual clubs to not be buying local, I pm d Malcolm when he started this thread but still havent had a reply, I hope he's ok
As I said I hope it works out for you, just frustration on my part for what I saw as a huge opportunity | | |

x-blades were sourcing stuff locally, and taking a cut, look at the Hoodys, while they were of a decent quality, they were exactly the same as a cricket club nr my work knocked out for their members, I'd rather we took the middleman out and put a few extra quid in our pockets rather than Mr Moore's.
If it works out, then in the future we may be able to help other clubs with theirs, but Rome wasn't built in a day, if Ian Croad started too big it wouldn't work, too many people would want different things, which he may then not be able to deliver, at least starting like this he can see what he can and can't get. what can be sourced quickly and of decent quality, and what takes a bit longer to get hold of.
