Do we want to do this again?

People may not be aware that our sponsorship 'defaulted' to Matt Ritchie last season after David Ball returned to Man City. The club have offered us the renewal of Matt Richie and I assume the price will be the same as last season - £450. I'm waiting for confirmation.

Of course, we don't have to go with Ritchie and could choose another player. So I'm throwing this open to suggestions. Obviously the squad isn't finalised yet, so we could hold on a while. But from what I gather, other people are already showing an interest in sponsoring players so it may be better to get something arranged sooner rather than later.

I'm not asking for pledges yet, so don't go posting "I'll stick £xx in" because I'll stick up a new thread for that when everything is sorted.

I'd check on the price going on the latest news!

What would we get as a forum for sponsorship?

I'll be in again Sam-keep Ritchie I say.

Signed shirt, two adults for q and a meal, and two corporate tickets to a game. Oh and we get in the matchday programme.

The bits are then drawn out of a hat.

Benefits are:

• Two passes to the Sponsor’s Suite for a League Two home fixture (subject to availability).
• A signed shirt from your sponsored player, to be presented at the Sponsors dinner.
• Two complimentary tickets to the Sponsors dinner.  At this event you will spend the evening with your sponsored player with photograph opportunities.
• Two Complimentary Main Stand tickets to a Coca Cola home League Two game
• Acknowledgement of your Player sponsorship on the sponsors page in the Match Day Magazine for all home games

Confirmed as £450 inc. VAT for Ritchie.

Ill be in again

I have already taken out a small ad in the matchday programmes for the whole season, but would join in with this for the first time as well.

Yeah, up for it again

In.

How much is it to enter?

That sounds so wrong   :D





*yes I know I'm childish

I'll do it this year.

what happens to all the bennefits? are they placed into a aht of those who have donated and a winner is drawn for each one?

Yes

I'm in

cool. i could be pursuaded this year. how much do you want?

Yeah, OK

In....again....

Paynters shirt still on my wall...

What are you taking for organising it?

Should be something.

Sam normally takes the sponsors dinner iirc

He said he didn't want it this year and that a pat on the back would do.

They go towards spelling lessons for certain forum members  ;)

I'll be in again.

i'll pitch in

count me in too

Can none of you cunts read? I want opinions on who to sponsor.

 :doh:

I'm in again, and think we should stick with Ritchie.


(either that or hold out for Tevez :D )

I reckon Risser could be good, although i'd just as happy for it to be Ritchie again.

Leon Cunt

Failing that, Ritchie or Caddis

:)

I'm in again, Ritchie is cracking as far as I'm concerned.

Ritchie or Ferry (who I'm convinced is about to have a cracking season.)

I'm in, by the way.

Count me in for the first time.

Couldn't we sponsor Di Canio now Gazza isn't doing it but sponsor it in Gazzas name - or paul Davis, Mex, Lumps etc.

can we sponsor you?

Caddis.

Do a vote Sam......fairest way and no quibbles then on who the player is.

Get fucked

i vote for this, even though i can't work out what or who it's aimed at

DRS has contacted internet tourettes.

what did they say?

CUNTFLAPS! BOLLOCKS! FUCK OFF!

(Apparently)

yay i like jokes

I would be happy to pay up for the first time......Ritchie or Caddis......or anyone else!!

De Vita because his surname initials (!!) are DV.

Ritchie.

Got to be Ritchie
I'll put some wedge in

I'm as commited to this as i have been in previous seasons

Id like to join in if that's ok?

Im out.

Right, we've got Ritchie.

Go on then, tenner.

I'm happy to chuck in a tenner as well

Ten from me

I'll put £20 in. Have to make up for not being able to go to the Oxford game!  :cry:

Tenner from me

How would we pay? I'm a bit new to all of this?

Think Sam put a paypal link up last time.

And a tenner from me..

No probs

People can pay me by PayPal, bank transfer, cash or cheque (if you still live in the dark ages).

I'll put the details up soon.

£10 I suppose.

I'm in for £20

Cheers all, halfway there now.

Only halfway? How much is the sponsorship?

Double what you have at the moment

£450.

In for 20

10 from me, and maybe could add some more a little later if needed.

 :D

Can those of you who've pledged please PM me with your preferred method of payment, I'll then let you have the necessary details.

Count me in for a tenner as well.

Come on folks, still £200 short.

And those of you who've already pledged and not paid, I need your money!

Pm'd you

You should name and shame

Paid by paypal. Let me know if you didn't get it.

I'm in for a tenner

Fucking hell! It was only put on on Monday! You get longer to pay on ebay!

Sam,

I'll bung a tenner in.

Paid by paypal. Cheers  ;)

Yep count me in for £20

Message me for paypal please

Get some real fucking friends Flash.

 Happy to put £20 towards, your going to have to help me out with all this " message me " stuff though. ( sorry )

Find one of his posts on the previous page, click on his name, then click on "send this person a personal message" (its under "additional information")..

Can whoever bank transferred me £10 last night please identify yourself. I am not psychic and I can't put a forum name to the real name.

Thanking you.

I sent you £10 this morning, but I did identify myself, so hopefully it wasn't me!

Just bank transferred mine over Sam.

Instead of the £15 i pledged i upped it to £20 because im a nice cunt.

Just £20 left to go and we've reached our target (assuming everyone else coughs up!).

Where's the PayPal link samdy?

Edit: I've just seen Samdy's post. I'm terrible in the mornings!

Are your details the same as last year? I have them saved in my internet banking.

Yep, same account.

I'm hoping my paypal payment to you made sense who it was from

I have just completed a Bank Transfer for £10 this morning

Cheers, just sent it over now.

I will cover that

I could let you have £10, so Fred need only lob in a tenner.

That was me. I realised today that I forgot to let you know who I was. Ta.

paid...

Already had you down for £20 anyway.


If you would be so kind, then that's our lot.

You paid me by PayPal.

Can you pm your bank details and I'll sort it (not until Monday, though)?

£20 sent, I think !

Nothing received.

If you have an email from PayPal confirming payment, can you forward it to the email address I gave you.

Say please.

No.

Just sent it Samdy!

I've picked up a programme for tomorrow, and they've got the site address wrong. In the player sponsorship list, they've got us down as 'Townend.Com' instead of 'thetownend.com'.

paid

Refund!

I'll ask if they can use the logo (complete with tag line, of course).

sent

Money just sent.

£ in last post

The only person I'm yet to hear from is Crispy...

He's in London.

getting some liposuction and hair dye

  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Will we have some shaky camera action of said liposuction and hair dying

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

For the record, the printed web address in the match programme vs Oxford is still wrong.  We're missing a marketing opportunity there...and should get it corrected ASAP.  At the moment, anyone typing in 'townend.com' gets directed to a domain name site.

Noted. I have given them a gentle reminder.

I take it I'm too late to chuck in a tenner?

Well, Crispy still owes £20 but is ignoring my demands.

If you want to stick £10 in and someone else does too then I can give Crispy the boot.

wouldn't he be more interested in das boot?

I'll chuck in an extra fiver if someone else wants to do the same?

Cheers bullethead, stfcinbmth and Barry Scott.

Crispy, the fat ginger-headed fuck, is nothing but a charlatan.

Do you draw the people out of a hat over the course of the season or at the end mate?

Whenever I can be bothered really :D

Do you take bribes :p

Completely forgot about this.

Going to draw some names in the next 30 minutes or so.

Ok, first up: Two Complimentary Main Stand tickets to a Coca Cola home League Two game

The winner is... Joteddyred

Next: Two passes to the Sponsor’s Suite for a League Two home fixture (subject to availability)

The winner is... stfcinbmth

And the main prize: A signed shirt from your sponsored player

The winner is... otanswell

Arse.

I want my fucking shirt back! That was a bribe!

i see.

boooooo :)

Cunt

Haha

I haven't even bribed!

Well done to all the prize winners. :cry:

WHAT! You know that silly sod will lose it on the way home...

Yeah send it to me

Friggin hell, I've actually won something? Does it involve any free beer Sam?

No. Just a meal.

So who's going to the sponsors dinner then?

Fuck me, want want want, what a pikey :)

Cacker if you don't mind  :sherlock:

what happened with this? its tonight isnt it?

Was expecting to see Ritchie with Samdy along with the other pictures on the OS, Must been a selection of photos as some players are missing.

I don't think Sam was there tonight.

Fabrizio wasn't there as he was scouting the Aldershot v Wovers match for PdC

So who went and what was said?!

No, I couldn't make it tonight.

Did anyone else go instead Sam?

Nope.

What happens with the shirt and stuff then?

I'll pick it up from the club.

Don't worry, you'll still get it.

All players we there....

NW says that ground redevelopment now at an advanced stage with the council.

We still don't know who the outfield player would be to go in goal if something happened to Super Wes. (We questioned Domenico the goalkeeping coach, who wouldn't tell us...and nor would PdC. Alan McCormack confirms it wouldn't be him though !!)

Caddis hopes to be back in 2 weeks.

Ferry still haven't passed his driving test and he doesn't think he ever will.

Ritchie says he'll be here next season.

Top man, cheers

Cheers for the update!...can't wait for Saturday, bring on the gas!!!

I was sat on the same table as Esajas and Caddis. 

Esajas was a incredibly interesting bloke to chat to, he spoke candidly about his STFC career and future prospects, the Leon Clarke fallout and why Mehdi fell out of favour. It was an absolute pleasure to meet him, fantastic company.  Chatting about tactics was fun and how he sees us doing next season if we go up.

He told me that PDC plans to sign 8 players in the summer by the way.

All in all it was great night and I would recommend it to anyone next year.

What did he say about clarke?

Nooooooooooooooo.....


And Mehdi and anyone else.

Got the last 10 mins of the Q&A at the sponsors meeting you can listen to it here:
