Somerset County Sports
« on: October 02, 2013, 02:02:58 PM »
Good afternoon All,

Finally joined up to the forum at last, hope everyone is well, and champing at the bit for the 2014 season.
 
Firstly, a bit of background about SCS, ran by Ex Somerset CCC Cricketer Mike Parsons, and assisted by James Brice and Unicorns Captain Keith Parsons. We have a sister shop in Devon County Sports ran by Wes and Sarah Fowler, situated in Paignton.
Some of you may know, we have also merged back the Sabre Cricket range into SCS and the old designers are no longer working for Sabre, and after reading some of the comments on here, are trying to re-design the range for a Feb launch, interested in hearing peoples views on this? all comments welcome, good and bad, believe us, we've heard a few!

Anyway, looking forward to joining in with discussions, and also happy to help with any queries etc. that anyone may have toward any of the brands we stock.

We've finally seen all 2014 ranges with the exception of a couple, Salix being the major one, as they were on holiday when the Trade Show was on!

What does everyone like for 2014? It seems light blue is a popular colour at present!

Personally at SCS we love the Kookaburra impulse, and think this will be the biggest seller in 2014.

Look forward to future interactions with you.

Mike, James and Keith

Welcome to the forum.

Good to hear the designers for Sabre have been sacked, they were dreadful.

Looking forward to the m&h gears. We haven't seem much on here so you could win many friends with some pics when you have any of there gear in stock.

In hindsight, im not sure we should have chosen those stickers! The new stickers, we are nearly there with, maybe a forum preview soon, black/yellow will be staying, however completely re-vamped and have added a blue/red range, personally we are very happy with how its shaping, also with it being brought in house, we have lowered our prices, which we hope will help.

Unfortunately due to us being at Somerset CCC, and M+H also being here, its not really possible to stock the gear, however we do have some in the Devon shop, so I will see if Wes has any photo's of the new range, did see it at Lords, and if honest, did like the look of the CK22 range.

Sounds good.

We did see pics of the new bat but I think that was it.

I really don't mean to sound rude, but how do you justify the prices that you charge? You seem to be a lot lot more expensive than any other retailer. Am I right in thinking theres a membership card that gives everything a 10% discount?

Welcome! I did cover the trade show in 2012 and tried my best to make the Sabre bats and softs nice, but even I was unable to make them look pretty! They seemed proud of the design at the time so felt a little like Simon Cowell when someone tells him how good they are and then sings like a cat in pain!

Great to have you in board fellas 😎

Hi Nick,

We run a loyalty club scheme which entitles you to 20% off cricket equipment, this was never really advertised that well, however this year we have put our loyalty prices marked onto all cricket equipment, therefore bringing prices down,

Thanks
