Bridlington mate, not enough space for a cricket net tho unfortunately I wouldn't think!

[Colesy]

I have no idea where that is.................Google Maps........

Stock custom made bats by smaller manufacturers such as SAF, Redback, Warsop, Talisman, Laver and Wood, Screaming Cat and Impala etc.  As we can goto most cricket shops and try the main brands etc but it would be nice to goto a store/Shop that stocks the unique and probably best cricket products on the market.

I like the idea from keysersolze its a great idea! I think the most important factor with a showroom shop is the feel/atmosphere! Nothing worse than going into a shop and your every move is scrutinized! Us cricketers are a special breed as we like 2 pick things up swing them about, smell them, try them on and even make the sound effect as we shadow a few shots! The best shop ive ever been 2 was romida in rochdale the front of shop was very neat and tidy but tidy also have 2 small warehouse at the back with a mass of kit so you can spend hours trying things out and they wont bother you until you ask for help!

Yeah it's a top idea. I personally don't like VKS as there's one guy there who I always encounter who's a bit too pushy: tries to help me out a bit more than I'd like really..much prefer colts cricket in barnes and also Fordham sports next door..
Though I'm sure you could sort some deals our with other brands tom?

[Colesy]

Globe will hate you more now Tom

[peplow]

WEll the feeling I got it was more a showroom to let people try on lids etc with purchase of all goods if wanted? Not sort of a general store. As much as I'd love a store.like that near by! Not sure its the main aim of the exercise!

[johan95]

If its all set up before Xmas I might come down specially!

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Yeh the office is the main aim with a showroom area for all of OUR kit not to stock and sell everyone elses as this would be more like a retail outlet where we would be promoting other brands as well as our own!

I appreciate other brands may not have retail outlets in the Uk but would need an incentive to stock their kit when paying our own overheads for the office space

[Colesy]

Sounds good mate.
