We are but a minnow in the world of corporate relationships. We couldn't even afford to sponsor a match. However I can assure you that if we ever get big enough to do that it's not the first place we will go to. I know there's a history of bad form between the club and local businesses.I can see why now.

Some people will be reading this and calling me bitter but as the person who was working until 11pm on the Friday night before the first game of the season to make sure the team had the correct kit to play in, I do feel a tad annoyed at being used.

It annoys me even more when I see lost income to the club ( even if it's only a couple of quid ) yet thousands of people made every effort possible to make sure those odd few quid helped save the club. If the club doesn't want every penny it can earn then all that effort by all those people was wasted.
Dave, great post! You and your good lady, did plenty in our "Hour of need" yet this seems to have been forgotten??? Thanks for what you have done and I hope to see the club, take on board your offer!!!
