Having recently launched their exciting new Centris range at the second Grass Roots Football Show in June 2007, Maudesport Clubline, a West Midlands based leading UK Football Team Wear and Equipment Wholesaler, found the show to be an excellent platform to debut their new brand new range of football kits, especially as more than 5,000 managers, coaches, officials and players came together at Coventry's Ricoh Arena to attend the two day action packed event.
Clubline's General Sales Manager Nick Palmer said, "There was a great turnout and we had some really positive feedback about our new Centris football kits. Even the former England Coach
Graham Taylor was on our stand chatting to us about our Precision Training products."
The first day kicked off early with a private coaching session from Graham Taylor with the BBC Coventry competition winners Leamington Lions. The action continued on with more training
sessions in the 600 seat coaching arena, which was reduced to standing room only. Many felt the highlight over the two days was a clinic by England's assistant coach, Steve Round, who
recreated one of the training sessions used by England prior to their European Championship qualifier versus Estonia.
The overall experience of the show was also best summed up by visitor Mark Dowling who said "I had a great time at the GRFS this weekend, so good in fact that I ended up attending both
days. The vast number of stalls, contacts, seminars, practical displays and general advice was mind blowing. The mix between theory, practical, corporate and innovation was spot on and
delivered something for everyone at all levels and roles in the game. I'm already looking forward to next year."
Vanessa Bayley, Sales Office Supervisor, said "We had plenty of items to give away over the two days and our prize draw was a real big hit with the visiting crowds, especially as people
kept returning to our stand to double check their numbered tickets to see if they'd won one of our many great prizes."
One of football's best known brands was also very happy with their presence at the show "A very well organised show that gives an excellent opportunity to communicate with the often
difficult to reach grass roots market" stated Umbro's FA Development Manager, Ed Hughes
