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

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.
Ok, so you don't believe it so it must be bullshit. Grow up ffs. |

Can't remember Honda sponsoring anything sports related in the UK other than motor sports. I remember they had a good run with their F1 engines in the 1980s.
The link between Town and them has been nothing more than rumour and speculation although I'd love to be proved wrong. They do sponsor sports in other countries but I think Honda in the UK are not and have never been interested.

I'm with Reg. Heard this rumour in so many different forms over the years. I just don't believe any of our previous incumbents would have turned down that deal.

From what I remember (ie not a lot it was over 20 years ago) Honda wanted someone on the board and would then invest once they had someone who had a say in the decision making...

Sponsorship is a 2 way thing. What on earth would Honda, one of the world's largest car manufacturers have to gain from being associated with a lower league club.

As opposed to smaller companies, like Samsung and EA Sports

Like it! And instead of putting the name/logo on the shirts, we could just have the team run out in powdered wigs  |

He'd always be on the bench. I'd like to think we'd be able to put in a bid for Nicky Law |
