The kids kindly bought me a Christmas gift from the club shop that returned with me to work last Thursday. As usual, it made its way to the dishwasher then promptly vanished, before appearing again today tucked away with all the other clean mugs. Whilst I was pleased to find it was not in the workshops with a paint brush dunked in it and half full of meths, I couldn't help lament the fading badge. My West Ham United and Cheltenham Town supporting colleagues were quick to remind me that after a bright start, the veneer was soon starting to fall away; much like our season!
Good quality mug eh? The kids should have bought you one of those JS Park mugs that were on sale. You might have enjoyed watching that fade!
As sad as your mug looks, here is one for your West Ham supporting colleagues - widely available in the club shop now.
QPR merchandise is crap, the bags they send out with the Junior Hoops Memberships lasted 2 days before it split in half, key ring broke within a week.... probably made in Malaysia!
I got a Nice keep the faith hoodie, XL, Just covers my belly button. Do have to admit its not "official" but honestly it should have been called "crop top with hood"
