Evening all,

I've been having a chat with The Guvnor about ways to provide some revenue to put towards the costs of running the forum.

We've discussed about the idea of creating some Fat Jockey merchandise. We'd mainly be talking T-Shirts, beanie hats, mugs, flasks, socks, the usual kind of stuff.

I'm also looking at the possibility of making a 'Road to Cheltenham' book, including trends and stats for each race, key trials for each race with space to right down the winner, stuff like that.

Would people have an interest in this kind of thing? Early days but if there's an interest then I'll look into it further.
 
A racing badge seems to go down well with clubs/syndicates so might be an option. I’ve seen a couple release Road to Cheltenham books(hacked up being one) so might want to check those out so they differ slightly.

I can imagine folk would happily support buying things and it’s even a possible easy gift idea to tell folk for birthdays/Xmas.
 
Geniunly, if you make a t shirt with a regression chart on it with the text "hes a grade 3 animal, my chart has him losing by 3L" i will pay thirty quid for it

hahahhahaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Challenge accepted. Definitely need to make one with some charts on them :applouse:

The Hacked Up book is where I've got my inspiration Outlaw. Had one for the last year or 2 and they're great. I want to change it and include stuff from Saxon's work if he is in agreement.

:biggrin-new: I love the idea of a couple of T-shirts with iconic quotes off members on here then spotting them on a course somewhere.

Maybe leave the joggers off the merchandise list for a while...

I might get one made up with Saint Calvados - 100/1 - 5 runner race #youcanteatvalue




"Are you a mug punter?" jono ?????? hahahahahaha - the best insult I've ever had on here.



We obviously could get an Elegant Escape Wins All one too....

Absolutely.

Could add in the British form too but that’s a heap more race meetings to sift through.:hopelessness:

Meet me in the Centaur - I'll have a copy of the RP under my hand and a tshirt that says "The Challow winner NEVER wins the Ballymore"
