Title: Shouldn't we have a sponsor by now?
Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, June 1, 2007, 08:35:01
Yes, yes, yes. I know this has probably been done to death already, but it's 1st June which means we've effectively only got 4 weeks until pre-season - but still no shirt sponsor.

Other clubs already have their new shirts on sale, so what's the hold-up?

Maybe we're going retro and not having a sponsor.  8)

The list of errors made by the current board just continues to grow ...

No new sponsor
Media arrangement with Brunel
Groundshare
Lack of CVA payment
Lack of transfer funds for Luggy
PR is a nightmare
Lack of new ground in Swindon and probable relocate to Chipp'nam
not to mention the many many lies we have been told - 80 percent support for Groundshare, Power is bankrupt, there is no consortium, CVA will be paid/renegotiated and so on and so on

and yet they tell us they are the people for the job - get real and get out! :evil:

Bit unusual not to have anounced by now. Not sure why that would be really other than they are still dotting the I's and crossing the T's.

Actually, when did teh Nationwide contract run out. Pehaps they are waiting for that to expire before announcing?

Do the new sponsor get the Nationwide Stand as well?

Yes I believe they do - although not in time for the Season tickets - just says South Stand - when really it should be classed as Shrivenham Road End in the traditionalist view

Or the Shrivenham Road Stand, as End implies it's behind the goal.

Fred said he saw the kit and it had a sponsor. Maybe we have it, but its not been announced. It is all very strange! Why the big secret?

I don't think it was actually the new kit, but it was certainly a white lotto top.

Fatbury keeps a sachet of tomato ketchup in his breast pocket. It's a sauce that's close to his heart.

When he needs a sauce at the club he reaches for the sachet of daddies he keeps with his playing cards.

I'd quite like to see.

Obviously in the boards own time.

No rush, or anything.

I don't want to give them any hassle about it.

In their own time is fine.

If that's OK with them.

Sorry about the aggressive tone of this post.

But I'm mildly upset.

Well, not upset exactly, more frustrated.

WHY CAN'T THE USELESS TWATS PULL THEIR FINGERS OUT OF THEIR ARSEHOLES AND GET A FUCKIN' WRIGGLE ON!!

erm, that's obviously not what i meant.

no new sponsor...that's been unveiled.
media arrangement with Brunel...that might improve coverage.
groundshare...that might not happen.
lack of cva payment...which may still be paid.
lack of transfer funds for luggy...when none of our managers have had transfer funds.
pr is a nightmare...correct
lack of new ground in swindon and probable relocate to Chipp'nam...utter bollocks.

Why are you bucking the negativity trend Sonic?

It's unsettling....................

i'm not.

it just pisses me off when people use things that either haven't happened, never happened or are yet to happen as reasons to slag the board off, it makes those of us who support the consortium look like rabid drooling morons.

Agree with you Sonic, some people are just speculating and taking ideas as fact just to get at the board. That's how the board managed to dig themselves into this mess in the first place - don't fall into the same trap guys (and girls!)

I like the prospect of not having a sponsor, aside from the clear financial problems, I think it would be a great idea.  We could copy a few more of the standard Barcelona ideas while we are at it.
