Fox You Forest Posted 15 October 2010 Posted 15 October 2010 Nice site, all those shirts must be worth a small fortune, I'd give my left bollock for that '76 signed Weller shirt.

Bluefoxtim Posted 15 October 2010 Posted 15 October 2010 I can see this game heading for a sell-out now. Sven's first game, the return of NP, two new signings, and to top it off, Farndon Foods! We're being spoilt!
howlinmadmurfdoc Posted 15 October 2010 Posted 15 October 2010 It says this is the first time we've had this, didn't jessops do the same thing?
StanSP Posted 15 October 2010 Posted 15 October 2010 It says this is the first time we've had this, didn't jessops do the same thing? I thought that but I'm guessing that it's different because we had them for a whole season, and not just one game
Raspeir Posted 15 October 2010 Posted 15 October 2010 To be honest.. if having a few extra bits of sponsorship about means that the new owners are able to sustain and justify a substantial financial backing, then I'm all for it. It makes good business sense that they need to generate extra revenue in order to justify their capital investment.
Dr The Singh Posted 15 October 2010 Posted 15 October 2010 [it's nice to see a local company having ties and investment with the club, no matter how small or big!!
Zingari Posted 15 October 2010 Posted 15 October 2010 [it's nice to see a local company having ties and investment with the club, no matter how small or big!! does this local food company make chocolate éclairs for asda and morrisons by any chance ?
Dr The Singh Posted 15 October 2010 Posted 15 October 2010 does this local food company make chocolate éclairs for asda and morrisons by any chance ? I have no idea, there not one of the competitors of the company I work for. But if they need a master baker, i'm there man!!

Trav Le Bleu Posted 15 October 2010 Posted 15 October 2010 I'm wondering how long before our kit looks like a Formula 1 driver's overall, with sponsors' badges all over the place.
Fosse Boy Posted 15 October 2010 Posted 15 October 2010 Booooooo, down with shirt sponsorship and the like. Agree with Singh's comments, at least they're local I suppose.
Babylon Posted 15 October 2010 Posted 15 October 2010 Farndon Foods They spend a heck of a lot down city, always in the sponsors lounge when I go in there.

Guest BlueBrett Posted 15 October 2010 Posted 15 October 2010 I'm wondering how long before our kit looks like a Formula 1 driver's overall, with sponsors' badges all over the place. That was my first thought too. Don't mind too much though if it pays for us to get back to the prem. I'm surprised they havn't done it before.
FoxyPV Posted 15 October 2010 Posted 15 October 2010 The kits are Germany are like this aren't they? Wall to wall sponsorship?
