Fresh back from walking the dogs down the river (it doesn't half hurt my knee still but that's another story!), here we go with another weekly update on the WarbyGK Goalkeeper Gloves blog. Last week saw the delivery of more samples from our 2010 gloves range, infact the delivery driver was the parent of a lad I used to coach for Boston United FC, and I am absolutely bowled over by the quality and strength of design of these beauties! I spent last night in the office packaging some up for our contracted goalkeepers to trial, and hopefully we will gather sufficient feedback to make any alterations necessary to exceed the current Portiere Pro range. I'm sure that some pictures will start to pop up fairly soon........
Saturday night was spent watching Adam Collin's Carlisle United destroy Norwich City in the FA Cup at a fog bound Brunton Park, and although he had very little to do the cameras on the live streaming at FATV really showed the gloves off well. It is such a buzz to see the gloves in action, especially on the close up shots etc, and an even greater buzz when my little girls shout out "Daddys Gloves!" in unison every time Adam was on the screen! It just makes me realise just how strong a design the Portiere Pro actually is and focus our attentions on creating stronger designs for the future. We did actually try to sponsor Northwich Victoria's Curtis Aspden in time for his televised clash with Lincoln City, but we wouldn't even try to compete with the amount of free goalkeeping gloves and clothing offered by the winning brand as the ROI was too minimal, win some lose some and all that eh?!
Finally a massive thanks to all members who have joined our FaceBook group (currently stands at 578 members), it's really re-assuring to have generated that volume of public support and maybe we'll be able to find a way to reward our members? Any suggestions please feel free to let us know what you would like (discount, competition etc).
