That sounds like bullshit
Dont recall the new stadium bit but do seem to remember Honda wanting someone on the board if they invested |

I believe the year we got to the premiership Honda wanted to sponser up and build a new stadium with tge only proviso that they have a man on the board. This was declined so Honda never came back again.
Ha Ha....I wondered how long it would be before someone came out with this bullshit. Honda wont even sponsor a kit for their workers to have a kick about in the local league. |

Where did you get a copy from?
The company I work for sponsored a game a few years ago, so they sent a brochure to our marketing department. |

It is not bullshit. You talk about Honda now, not sponsoring things now which is totally different. I am talking when we were going into the Premiership. Even you know (or should know) Honda were pumping loads of money into Swindon with these new buildings at that time. |

I seem to recall a new stadium and £10M as long as they had someone on the board. |

The difference between Honda then and now is massive Long gone are the twice yearly parties with decent raffle gifts ( top prize a car ) No way they would invest in anything local after having just off hired a load of staff That ship has long sailed |

Oh yes, and I'm sure Ross MacLaren (aka Mr Blobby) bought all of the MOM award from the rest of the squad  |

Of course it's bullshit....why on earth would the small time operators, then owning the club, turn down a shed load of $, if a major investor came along. Fuck me even my 400 shares might have been worth something. |

It's just an urban myth....Japanese companies, invest in their business, they don't chuck millions at local FC's. |
