And wtf was Sssssssandy Gray on about?
"Although we must now secure a new sponsor, it is great to know that we will continue to have a healthy dialogue with Nationwide going forward!"
Huh? how does that work then if they've ended their sponsorship with us? To be fair the the VAT wizard I think she probabbly means match / ball sponsorship or corporate entertaining and stuff like that. sponsorship on a smaller scale. |

I think it was a pretty pathetic deal anyway wasn't it? I think there are almost certainly Conference clubs with better deals. Doubt it. Werent we getting a six figure sum every year? |

The unthinkable has happened! We will no longer have the blue box across our shirts!!!
I have only ever had Swindon shirts with Nationwide written on them so this is a big thing for me! I hope the next sponsor doesn't have some ridiculous logo that will ruin our strip, althouhg maybe there are slightly more important factors to consider!

Nationwide paid peanuts for the sponsership anyway.
Infact another company will come in and probably pay more

no mark * looks for "shrug" smilie but finding none doesn't bother posting one * It is a question of profile and level of sponsorship, isn't it? Nationwide is actually quite a cool brand and an inherently implicit name to have on the front of your players' shirts. Sure, we could have "Johnston's Paints" for 2/6 a year (that's two shillings and six old pence for younger readers). But the brand is all in this day and age. I think it is a sad loss tbh. How many other nationals - or multinationals - are going to pour dosh into Swindon Town Football Club given today's news? What on-the-ball business wants to put sponsorship money into an unaccountable black hole? Ok then, I'll pop down to Rodbourne and have a word with the owner of Ron's Stores. I'm sure he will go a fiver for a year's worth... :roll: PS are you calling me a "no mark" by the way? |

He's calling no one a no mark. It's his 'thing' to copy and paste other stuff, mainly from thisis, and post it as his own. Wacky. |

I'm sure that's what I heard as well. That is a pathetic sum. |
