Re: New shirt sponsors next season
 

Wasn't keen on the council sponsoring us but they should have kept to their original deal of the 3 year sponsorship (bet they would have if we'd been promoted!) Eric is quoted as saying it's a 'win-win deal' for the club but not for the fans who will have to fork out for another shirt. The pro-star ones were only kept for one season, now there's another change - maybe we can do a part exchange scheme on the new shirts?

Have to agree there Simon,but let's hold our judgement till we find out who it is;could be something really embarassing! [Rentokill/Durex/Tampax/etc etc] :rofl38: :rofl38: :rofl38:

It costs money, and lots of it, to run a full-time club (just ask Telford). Surely Eric would be failing in his duty if he did not maximise every opportunity to increase the club's cash flow. All the more so, since gates in the latter half of this season have proved that Stanley must look to raise money in other ways. Surely, a lucrative new shirt contract can only be good for the club's long-term ambitions?

OK, having to fork out for yet another shirt can prove a strain on the pocket, but you can always use the old one for slobbing out around the house, washing the car etc., and have a nice new one to wear for footy!

A development of the Interlink Express theme would seem quite logical , but I rather suspect that a certain nationally-known insurance company who approached Budmak and me at last year's carnival might well be in the frame . . isn't it fun, all this speculation and gossip? :)

I wouldn't worry too much about the name on the shirt ; after all, it's not as if Hyndburn is ceasing to be a significant sponsor. And it does appear that there are a lot of "kit addicts" out there who can't wait for any new shirt to come up for sale !

Re: New shirt sponsors next season
 

Of course its good for the club.. Has anyone suggested it isn't? Or was that a posting for the bleeding obvious party ?? :)

Re: New shirt sponsors next season
 

Why not? For many people a stanley shirt is a fashion item worn not only at football games but on other occasions ... In fact thats why the club went for the up to date style and new shirt company to attract those sort of sales.. i think the name on the front would be a worry for those people...

Like you henry I dont wear replica shirts so I dont mind whats on the front... But I can see the point of view of those that do and I can see where it would be a worry.... Who wants to turn up on a date with DUREX on the front of there shirt :) :) :)

hmm maybe lots of people actualy hehehehe

Re: New shirt sponsors next season
 

Agreed Kipax;certain names may put people off wearing/buying the shirt but you would like to hope that this has been taken into consideration to some extent in the negotiations!
[btw the expression on your dog's face is now beginning to worry me!] :cool8:

Re: New shirt sponsors next season
 

Great, gotta get another shirt!!!!! Hope i'm working by then!!!!

Hope we get a decent sponser then!

ab:)

Re: New shirt sponsors next season
 

As Bleeding Obvious Party (BOP) candidate for Hyndburn, I would like to ask, how are Stanley going to survive as a full-time club on gates of under 2,000 if they don't generate new sources of revenue? Get yer hands in yer pockets! Buy the shirt! You know it makes sense!

Re: New shirt sponsors next season
 

I will!I will!But Prendergast on the back doesn't come cheap!The letters and number are gonna set me back another tenner! :wave8:

Re: New shirt sponsors next season
 

All the better! More money for the club!

Re: New shirt sponsors next season
 

Maybe there should be a ruling that players have to have really long names to generate revenue...would mean curtains for a few of ours though...Gouck,Cook,Smith,James,where do you draw the line?{Mr Killackey would be safe though!!!** :drink: :drink:

Re: New shirt sponsors next season
