Ben Regretfully this is now a no-goer. I have spoken to the people concerned and we are of the opinion that before we feel comfortable to enter into any form of sponsorship, we require certain clarification and answers given to questions regarding ; The current position with the proposed new investors, and their aims and aspirations for the club. The proposed schedule of the "self imposed transfer embargo" The conclusion of the CVA The confirmed status of Paul Sturrocks authority over the playing side of the club (signings and team selection etc) The investors commitment to the redevelopment of the County Ground on its existing footprint or within the conurbation of the town. I trust that this is acceptable and I thank you for your time. Kind regards Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: Ben Lambert To: Andy Tuck Sent: Friday, July 27, 2007 5:30 PM Subject: Chris Blackburn Hi Andy Are you still interested in sponsoring Chris’s shirt? If not, not a problem, if it’s still a yes I‘ll take it on trust that you’ll get the cash to me next week and I’ll keep ‘The Town End Forum’ against his name in the BC programme… Thanks Ben Ben Lambert Sales & Marketing Manager Swindon Town Football Club For those of you having already transferred money to me could you please PM me you account details and I will transfer the funds back to you Thanks Title: Chris Blackburn sponsorship Post by: ronnie21 on Saturday, July 28, 2007, 12:16:22 Fred, I think you have spelt out what a lot of us are thinking! I, personally, agree with the decision. Perhaps you should copy it to the so-called powers that be, Starnes, though I don't think he is really in the loop. As I will not be contributing to the sponsorship now I would be happy to make a contribution towards the running costs of this forum, we all get a lot of fun out of the TEF, I suggest if we all made a definite commitment of, say £10, it would make a big difference.
Title: Chris Blackburn sponsorship Post by: Fred Elliot on Saturday, July 28, 2007, 12:19:22 It would make a massive difference Ronnie

Title: Chris Blackburn sponsorship Post by: DiV on Saturday, July 28, 2007, 21:00:56 no, I expect Ben read the bit that said it was a no go....ignored the rest and deleted it.
Like he cares or will even take note as to why we arent in for the sponsorship... Title: Chris Blackburn sponsorship Post by: Fred Elliot on Saturday, July 28, 2007, 21:19:45 So what did you want me to say to him then Dan ?
Dear Ben Please fuck off ! Kind regards Andy I dont think so mate There are ways and means of doing things and I thought that if we were going to turn this down then we needed to give a rational reason or reasons why we took that decision. I thought that was the decent thing to do whether you agree with it or not Title: Chris Blackburn sponsorship Post by: Fred Elliot on Saturday, July 28, 2007, 21:28:47 Quote from: "DV" Yes, I'm sure it will get passed onto Mike Diamandis and he'll reply personally And you thought I expected it to ?
