OK Ladies.....its here again!

Please let me know if you are up for it!  I will run this again. I just need names to start.

Usual rules - 1 entry for every tenner lobbed in.

Please see below my reply to Adam from the Clubs email (prizes are included).

For the ballache of doing the organising i have decided to pick the stand tickets. Last season i had to sit next to Kmac who was quite chatty until he realised i was off a forum and Jutty opened his mouth.

I do notice that they have cut back on the Corperate tickets this season!!....anyway:



Adam,


Yeah...we will give it a whirl.


We would like to Sponsor Paul Caddis' Pen!! :)


Let me know ASAP what players are up for grabs and i will tell the forum.


Regards,


Flash

Dear Player Sponsor,

 

I trust this e-mail finds you well and you are enjoying all the sunshine.

 

Apologies for the delay in contacting you in relation to player sponsorship.  With all the changes to the playing personnel, we wanted to see the squad take shape and to know which player was staying/contracted before information was sent.  Thank you for your sponsorship last season, and if you would still like to renew your sponsorship, please kindly e-mail by return.  I can then confirm sponsorship.  

 

Details for player sponsorship below:-

 

Player Shirt Sponsorship

 

Surely one of the most exciting and novel ways to be associated with Swindon Town FC is by sponsoring a player’s shirt for the season.  Always very popular and well supported, it is an ideal opportunity for fans to show their support for the Club and their favourite player, by sponsoring his playing shirt.

 

There are some excellent benefits on offer to all player sponsors and they include:

 
•A signed shirt from your sponsored player, to be presented at the Sponsors dinner
•A dedicated player appearance (with your sponsored player – one per season)
•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 One game
•Acknowledgement of your shirt sponsorship on the shirt sponsors page in the Match Day Magazine for all home games

 

Players are subject to availability and will be sold on a first come first served basis. Please call 0844 880 1094 for more details.

 

Cost of sponsorship £450.00 (INC VAT).

 

I look forward to hearing from you.  Please let me know how you would like to pay, by card or if you would like to be invoiced.

Ask him if we can sponsor Agombar, might at least prove that he's signed!

More seriously, how many words can we fit in? Any chance of getting "In memory of Terry Flowers/Nevillew" alongside the URL or is that not going to fit?

Urgent Update!!

Please let me know what player we want to sponsor (they always fuck off anyway!):

My vote goes to Pritchard....hurry up!

I'm in for a tenner. I'd like Nathan or Louis Thompson, or Ward if he's still here.

Agombar or no one for me

I'll put £20 in, and Nathan Thompson for me....

Not a Spurs loanee Flash. Why don't we sponsor one of our own?

I'll stick a tenner in for Beast Nathan Thompson.

I'm sure I could find a tenner if it was to sponsor Nathan Thompson!

Are things that bad we are giving 2013-14 a miss?

Unless I'm being thick Nate Dogg isn't on the available list. Louis is though.

I'm in for a tenner.  I must be going blind because I can't see Nathan Thompson in that list.  Happy to go with the majority.  If you force me to pick a name other than Nathan Thompson go for Louis.

Presumed he was on the list because a few others above had gone for Nathan Thompson! Would happily sponsor Louis Thomspon instead..

£20 from me.

I'll go with whoever, but wouldn't mind Luongo.

Tenner from me.

Louis T or Luongo preferably.

£20 Thompson. either Thompson.

edit: not a Spurs loanee, I'm out then.

I'd rather eat my own shit but that probably doesn't help you much

go on then, ten spot Thompson ( either)

I'm happy to chuck in £20.

Could we pick Tijane Freitas Reis,

I'm too scared, I believe in the curse of the players sponsorship

When it says

"A dedicated player appearance (with your sponsored player – one per season)"

Does that mean we ask him to turn up somewhere?

You should insist that the player has to join the TEF and has to post interesting crap at least once per day in a mini-lounge areas for the delectation of the sponsors.

I'm in for £20 but not if its for a Spurs loanee or one we've signed from them. If Nate Dog not available then Louis.

I'm in for a tenner..Nathan Thompson gets my vote

Good point.

Maybe we can get Gazzza to arrange that elusive TEF BBQ.

£10 and anyone who is likely to last the season. Perhaps we can sponsor the vile new hot dogs?

Tenner for a Thompson

Who conducts the prize draw?

Wes for me.


£10 in from me Sam.

Me...everyone has a fair crack except Jutty.

I'll do it. I have no vested interest and dislike you all equally.

£10 from me, happy to go with the majority.

I think we should decide who we want to sponsor for 2013-14 first :) So having been a smartarse, I guess I'd best chuck in a tenner. Swindon home-grown for preference

Im in for £20 and happy to go with the majority. (But Foderingham or L Thompson would be good....)

Please select from the list in earlier post.

Just put a poll up Flash. You won't have to count up afterwards then.

Good idea Steve.....


I was waiting for some cunt to advise us to Sponsor Dave Bamber.....

I'm in for a tenner. Only on Dave Bamber though.

You are too young, fat and ginger to remember the great Bamber....

Voting poll is now live!

Tenner from me, Louis Thompson

I'll be in for a tenner this year too Flash. Just voted Louis too.

Got to be Louis, isn't he lucky. Tenner from me

tenner for the new Ronaldo!

Voting closes tonight ladies.....midnight....or tomorrow AM when I commit.

We need £450..........

What did we pay last year?

In for a tenner. Thompson.

Just to break your hearts...Thompson brothers, luongo, ward, Pritchard, wes, Byrne all gone

Better hurry up lads!

Reckon Reis will every play? Pretty sure premier league clubs don't have to wait 28 days for international transfers, something dodgy here maybe. The lad is going to have played no game time before the season starts

I will put in for a tenner.

Likely to be because they're proven internationals. Reis presumably isn't hence the need for international clearance. I'm no expert but that's my guess.

I also think this International Clearance delay is bollox. I'm sure I read in an article a year or so ago that FIFA put a system in place where it all gets done electronically within 24 hours.

Struggling to see why they'd make it up but each to their own.

£10 from me - no international clearance required

I have no idea why, but I have a feeling (and therefore a small bet with a mate) that Tijane Reis (or whatever he's called) never play a competitive game for us. There is something Milan Misun/Sebastien Ruster about it all.

I saw both of them.  Only saw Ruster play, though.

Ruster's a bad example as that was a compensation thing.

Misun never existed and as far as we can tell neither does Tijane. Has anyone asked Sam whether the two players are related to one another?

At least we've officially unveiled Tijane unlike Agombar. Who knows what that ones all about.

Tijane was at FGR, but of course not able to play....but exist?  Yes he does....

I'm calling bullshit.

Misun isn't real.

He is also with the squad in Portugal

Neither is donkey, so it all makes sense...

I'm up for a tenner if this is still open.

Can somebody post an up to date list of the players available, and how much has been promised so far.

You guys can choose the player (they are only names to me), but just make it somebody who actually will play matches....

Can we sponsor donkey?

Might be able to sponsor 11 of them ;)

I'll set em up, you bang em in :)

We have been allocated Louis Thompson! After a stewards enquiry after someone else nearly got him.

I will now get the money in.

Please await instructions.

£200 odd short lads....i need this sorted as i fuck off abroad on Thursday and the club need it in before the home game!

Otherwise we....like all the players....bail...

Can you pm details of where to pay the money

I'm moving back to the UK in 3 months so will chuck in a tenner.

Can you pm me cash details please.

Thanks

Ill stick in a tenner.

I'll ask the wife if I can borrow a fiver.

I'll raid the piggy bank for some pennies. Details of where to stick it please.

 
I'm still awaiting those instructions? PM me if you want, I said I'd sling in a tenner IIRC

I always wondered where the saying "quick as a flash" came from.

You'd better put up details soon as to how we cough up our promises, cos some of us gotta mail a cheque from foreign parts. As it is now friday pm, I cannot sent mine until monday, you then gotta get the cheque cleared bla bla bla. Running out of time....

I think you'll have to delay your foreign jaunt, or hand the deal over to someone else.

If we are short of money, I will put in 30 quid, so please post here the new total and the fucking address

PS 19 always was my lucky number

I assumed he meant we are still £200 short on the pledges. I've not seen any payment instructions.

Lads and ladies.

I go on holiday tomorrow (greece) after just getting back from a wedding this weekend. It means that we (I) have only a few days to get this sorted.

On the last count up we only had £300 or so pledged.

I don't think I will be able to get this sorted in time....( the club were late in getting their end organised as the squad was not confirmed .... Still isn't).

I am happy to pledge a tenner.

Does anybody else want to message me and take this on.

Sounds like you did well to secure Louis Thompson - can't help unfortunately but will increase pledge if we are short and will look out for updates and bank details if anyone can take over

Has this thread died?

Light blue touch paper

Stand well back

Ensure Pets and Chldren are inside.

Nile Ranger, anyone?

Good screen name for that post.

If everybody is still interested I will ask the club for more time?

Could push for a bit of a discount on this - due to the potential short term nature of the deal?

Count me out.

I'm still up for it. What players are now available?

The club have given me an extra week to get this sorted.

If you are interested please message me with your pledge and I will reply with payment details as well as posting your pledge on here.

It's still Louis......

Shouldn't we be sure that we can get the full amount before people start paying you?

I'm still in for 10

I'm happy to pledge 20.

I'm in for a tenner Flash

I'm still in for £20 if we get enough

I'm still in for a tenner

Stick me down for £20 too Flash, lets hope we get enough

Still in for a tenner.

Still in for my £20

I'll go £20, why not.

Happy to pledge £20

£10 as per previous pledge

Still in for £20

I was £10 but as its Louis, £20 for me.

10

I will keep a count and tot up tomorrow.

Off on hliday tomorrow flash, internet patchy. PM me and I'll send you the cash, you can always return it.

Stick me in for £20

I will go to 20

And me

I am currently messaging everybody that has showed interest and all those that stumped up last year.

YGM Flash, if that is your real name, which it seems it is not.

£10 Done :)

I got no message :(

£20 OK for me Flash - let me know when we have enough pledged and I will do the paypal thingy

Send it in now if you can shag. I have got a few already and i will refund if we fall short by loads.

I have messaged you.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7t8eoA_1jQ

(this means I've paid you via Paypal, Flash)

Nor me. We must be on Flash's ignore list :)

haha!! Maybe our money isn't good enough Paul!

As you can see we are nearly there on pledges.

Now i just need the payments in.

Those names with no money next to them are members from last year who have not pledged yet or decided not to chip in this season.......people are entitled not to take part so easy on the abuse please!

Its first come first serve so whoever pays me gets an entry...£10 per entry go on the prizes.....you could have Louis Thompson around for breakfast!! So dont be put off if you think its full.....its not....post a pledge...i will message you...pay up...and erm hopefully win!

I am still messaging the list every hour or so.

 :( No message for me either, and the message I sent to Flash seems to have got lost in the ether.

I'm good for 20, but can't pay it until I get to England on 29th. or at the Crewe game :toocool:

So we got 455 now...

I have now messaged everybody ??

£10 paid

You've got me down as a pledge, evidently the above was a bit ambiguous :D

Sorry pal, but not interested.

My name shouldn't be on the list

So you didn't dip in last year then? Tightwad :)

Oops, I didn't read it properly

It's a bit pointless me getting involved really. It's not as though I can use the prizes so for that reason I am out.  :)

Paid mine, cheers Flash

Flash ok for me to transfer when I get back to work on Tuesday?

I think Ive just transferred you a £10 via paypal.  But fuck knows really.  I use paypal once a year and dont have a clue what Im doing.  I think I may have sent you 10k.

20 quid paid in by a drunken friend

Yes mate...I want to pay in a cheque on Thursday evening if I can mate.

At a previous company they used your initial and the first three letters of your name.....I was known as Gash even after I.T. Apologised and changed it....

I would have kept it

And now on here too.

Cash transferred Flash, cheers for organising.

Sorted Flash.

Thanks

Update tomorrow morning.

Im am running £100 short on pledges that are running well above the £450 that we need.

Please see list of pledges and people that have paid below.

If you havent pledged yet and fancy it then leave a post and message me...the club have given us more time and i dont want to piss them about much longer. I need to get this paid in ASAP!!

WHO IS STEVE MORGAN...Please message me with your TEF name or i cannot enter you into the draw.

We are almost there...update tomorrow.

OK Ladies!!!!

All the money is in!!

I am taking the pair of tickets.....

So we have the following up for grabs:

Signed Shirt

Player Appearance (I think this is more along the lines of your local pub or fete/shop opening rather than turning out for Rag Arse Rovers in Penhill on a Sunday morning).

2 Tickets for the Sponsors evening (Went last year and sat next to KMac and could hardly hear him.....but a good night with grub and photo ops to meet the players etc....)

2 Tickets for Mainstand (I am having these this year)

So without further a do....let the draw commence....

 1 to 45 put in random number generator......those that put in £20 get two goes...

Signed Shirt:

Jayohaitchenn

Player appearance:

@mwooly63

Sponsors night dinner x 2:

Fowey

Booooooooooo flash out.

This concludes the draw for the prizes...

Big thanks to everyone who took part and chipped in.

Take pride in the fact that we have TEF in the matchday programme next to 'our' Louis!!

Abuse from bitter non winners welcome.....

I will now message the lucky jammy bastard winners....

You were number 2...quite apt! :)

Are you saying I'm poo! Been called worse. today. By the Mrs!

Thanks for organising.

Bloody fix, is it cause Im not in the TEF clique ;)

Don't I even win a Swindon key ring or something?

I thought we were mates Flash.

Well done for organising mate.

I am surprisingly happy about this. I think I may be what DMR refers to as "an egg."

Just make sure the Mrs doesn't wash it

I blame...someone

I propose the draw be monitored by UN observers next year.

Nevertheless, assuming Louis isn't out of the club by 11pm tonight, you have done us proud organizing this sponsorship, well done

Just a quick sorry to Flash. I fucked up on Saturday. Glad you got the money from other sources.

Awww shit Flash, I didn't get the emails/messages to remind me until today because I was on holiday. Glad you found enough gash cash to make it up.

Donkey....Monty(golfer) and Graham Swann is awaiting with Bedser and Jacklin.

PM me your address and i will drop them off when i am passing in my lorry.


Oh and good stuff Flash.

No mate of mine you Reading cunt! :)

Oh yeah, forget that too...pm to follow. Cheers Lee.

Long-time lurker, unsurprisingly very happy with the Sponsors night dinner x 2.  Thanks Flash for all your effort.

Nice one
Shame about the rag ass rovers being a no go  :pint:

Am sure I can find somewhere for him to turn up too

Cheers for organising that Flash

We need a new thread to decide where we can make Louis turn up.

How dare you lurk and take one of the prizes with a post count of 7.  Bloody plastic forum users... :)

Well done Flash...

Yeah where's your loyalty points Fowey you wannabe?! :-)

He doesn't come from Reading so he gets my vote!

Didn't your Mum ever tell you that if you haven't got anything nice to say then keep your gob shut?!

I know, and I have not even been bestowed the honour of being called a cunt!

Flash...do the honours...you're good at dishing it out. :-)

I thought lurkers just assumed they were classed as cunts anyway.  Start posting more and we'll call you one to your face (or screen at least) :)

Fair point. I will climb back into my hole now.

Carefull, that's almost double figures, you will be classed as a regular soon.

Come into my clique Fowey, it's fun over here.

Buy your own ticket to the dinner.
Anyway, I heard 3 months ago he's taking Chang.

I was adopted..

This sounds good a TEF piss up after a match or something?

stfc_Gazza's TEF BBQ, obviously.

At Lydiard x

I too have been away....so sorry not to get my sub in...but if you want to top up your holiday fund or any other good cause, let me know. Otherwise i shall put it into the FITC Zambia Appeal.
