365 not out!

6 January 2009

Some might think that Sports fans are a peculiar lot. Surely they could think of a better way of passing their spare time than to stand outside in the freezing cold rainy weather, getting soaked to the skin and risking catching hypothermia just to watch a bunch of guys running around chasing a ball and hugging each other. If your average sports fan is not outside trying to catch man flu, then he is probably lying belly up, on the sofa surrounded by empty cans and crisp packets, yelling something unrepeatable at the television. You are unable to have a conversation with him, or indeed hoover around him until the all important football or rugby match has finished and the post mortem has been held ... at least three times. Then there are the highlights to be viewed, with alternative opinions about what went wrong, how if only they had stopped the ball from going in it would not have been a goal, and other philosophical gems. Most footie fans are rarely, if ever, found on the pitch actually playing the sport. They just like to shout and wave scarves about.

Yes, I know that is a stereotypical view of your average sports fan, but when it comes to the cricket fan things are completely different. For a start off, your typical cricket fan does not travel in packs, preferring to go to the cricket ground with a select few close friends. He also quite often enjoys actually playing the game and can often be found at the local village cricket club playing silly mid on and risking a macho blow to the head by standing dangerously close to the batsman. Of course a few drinks are consumed during the match, both as a player or spectator, but the whole experience seems to be very civilised and the cricket fan is well behaved. Televised cricket consists not just of county matches these days, but is also broadcast live from around the world at ungodly hours of the night all through the year. Your truly dedicated cricket fan will be up all hours watching an incredibly slow game unfold subtly. It is small wonder that he may fall asleep in the armchair from all that excitement.

So it is up to you to inject a little adrenalin into these cricket fans' lives with Personalised Calendars. Every day of the year s/he can live and breath cricket with this fabulous gift, the like of which they will never have seen before. His name will appear each month on a different display photo in the personalised calendar, on the wicket, the stumps, represented in the clouds, as graffiti across a brick wall, even above the score board across a floating blimp. S/he will be so thrilled, especially as this could well be the most exciting thing to happen to him in a long time, if not ever. A personalised calendar will be beyond his wildest dreams. He will be the envy of all his cricket pals when he tells them that some kind person has thought of him and presented him with a tasteful personalised calendar with a definite cricket theme. You will definitely not be bowling him a googly when you see his little face as he unwraps the gift paper and finds the front cover has his name as well as a personalised message. He will be bowled over with a fast spin with a personalised calendar.

I have made the general assumption that the cricket fan is a fella, but of course the game of cricket has a huge female following. Gone are the days when the top cricket players were amateurs, chain smoking beer swilling players at that. They did not train and were amazingly unfit. No, not any more. These days the ladies are enjoying the game which is considerably enhanced for them by the all year round tanned and toned bods of the image conscious cricket player. So, let us not forget that the women who follow cricket avidly, or even play it will also appreciate Personalised Calendars with a cricketing theme and personal message and name displayed on 12 different images. You can knock them for six by making them feel so special. A personalised calendar is fun, appealing and utterly practical. Who knows, if they are captain of their local team, they may be picking you for their first eleven, all because of that personalised calendar, and you too could be spending your Sundays on the village green being cheered and jeered.
