Hi guys

As most of you are aware I was once the forum rep for Robert Pack Cricket and Blueroom Cricket. I have been away from the forum for a while and to be honest was so stressed with my previous job that I wasn't really in the right place to carry on with the section. However, things have changed in the last 6 months, I'm in a better place now and I have still been receiving tons of emails and messages through social media with regards to Rob and the kit.
Has BR / RPC been a brand you have enjoyed having on the forum and was it missed when I could no longer continue with the CS side of things?

As the sponsors on here know as well as most regular posting members, this place is very time consuming and can easily take over your free time / social life (when the industry isn't your full time profession).

I know there have been a lot of changes to the forum, new sponsors in, sponsors out, member fall outs, rules and marketing changes etc.

Its a large undertaking for me personally, although I thoroughly enjoyed it before. With the logistics involved isn't always the easiest to keep up with requests, correspondence between myself, rob and the customer etc.

with that in mind, and the possibility of a return to the fold, I wanted to know what your thoughts are on the BR and RPC brand and whether or not you would like to see it come back to the forum?

Regards

Liam

If the kit and branding on show last night on twitter was anything to go by, definitely.

I think for sure it has been missed.... Can't remember what game I was watching the other night but seen one being used and it brought back memories of being on the forum with some quality gear

With unlimited nets access to use lots of demo gear! Plus a generous discount to forum members, and humongous discounts for admin!!  ;)
Ok - maybe pushing it on the admin discount...but you get my drift!

a forum gathering at the UK's best batmakers premises?

harder to get a group of 16 year old boys to fit bra's to super models I would think.

Liam, Robert Pack bats are serious. My Bombora was brilliant.

I would love a forum meet up at the Cave.

I had a BR Swell that I stupidly sold in a moment of madness! Bouncing a cricket ball on it usually ended up with broken lights, such was the response on this bat!
Maybe it's a bad idea to have a meet there! Could be a disaster for my wallet!  :(

Yeah absolutely, you just know you would walk about with 3 bats just because they look so good
!!

I had a rob pack, sold it on Ebay and my word......that's the worst decision ever!
don't know why on earth I sold it.

ce la vie :)

Sounds like a plan. Could a decent return project to get my teeth into.

Not sure of any net facilities close by but there is a drinking facility directly opposite the pack cave.

I'll look into this for sure if the interest is there guys

Kettering has indoor facilities
Corby isn't far and has some indoor nets

Whilst I never owned one but having played with ones I received from @tushar sehgal, there is no doubt on RPC gear (including softs as they look gorgeous!!).

Personally I can safely say that I did miss your/RPC presence.

Glad to see everything is sorted out Liam, good to see you back!

Nice one. Will speak to Rob about sorting something in the off season. I'm sure he'd be up for a net.
