No. Too many small brands, doing the same thing buying bats from the same places. Industry doesn't need another boring company.

Maybe you should be a softs specialist like Woodford used to be?

You obviously had an eye for them, the Itias gloves I've got are superb.

Softs requires the most startup capital and time designing, if I could find a way to custom make them and do something differently I'd consider it. But another off the shelf brand producing classical looking products isn't what the market requires.

so what do you think the market needs at the moment???

Like he'd tell us even if he knew

Good to see Tresco using the cor3 still in the T20.

Wonder if Tresco is going to go back to GM one things for sure he will have to take a pay cut lol!!!!

Was wondering where he would go also....

I still think there's room for a Mongoose style brand, something exciting about it, something which sparks debate and interest. A company coming up with interesting marketing strategies, not just sponsoring players whilst bringing interesting products to the fore.

Off topic slightly, what are you doing with yourself now Tom?

Cheers Tom, do you think someone will try to keep Mongoose alive?

[Lekka Global Alliance]

Mongoose are still selling online via their new owners.

Yes. There's value in the brand.

Not much, developing a new forum/blog/news site at the moment and writing a book. Whilst looking for a job in sports/fashion.

[procricket]

[Tom]

Yes. Although I'm not sure how much I can say on here about it...

[Howzat]

Tom does this new forum even exist or are you telling porkies, feel free to link if you have actually made a forum that is
