It's that time of the year again.

We have been offered the renewal of Gordon Greer's sponsorship for the same price as last season (£450).

The package remains the same and consists of:

• Two passes to the Sponsor’s Suite for one of two pre-selected League One fixtures – Sponsor’s Reward Fixtures  (subject to availability).
• A fully signed Home or Away team shirt of your sponsored player, to be presented at The Sponsor’s evening – ‘An Audience With STFC’ dinner.  (The shirt can be professionally framed for an additional £85.00)
• Two complimentary tickets to the ‘An Audience With STFC’ dinner.  At this event you will spend the evening with your sponsored player with photograph opportunities.  Additional tickets can be purchased at a reduced rate.
• Two Complimentary Main Stand tickets to a Coca Cola home League One game
• Acknowledgement of your Player sponsorship on the sponsors page in the Match Day Magazine for all home games

I'm obviously assuming that people will want to a) still sponsor a player and b) that player will be Gordon Greer.

You know the drill, leave your pledges below please. All those who contribute will be placed in a hat and winners will be drawn for the sponsor's suite tickets, the complimentary main stand tickets and of course, the signed shirt.

As with previous years, I propose to take the ‘An Audience With STFC’ tickets as my 'payment' for arranging the collection etc.

Any comments welcome.

Just done a bank transfer.

So what do we do now?

 :shrug:

Put it all on Holland in a shit or bust bid for a mega piss up. If we lose we can take it out on the Spanish by not going to their Tapas bars.

That or sponsor Prutton.

Prutton sounds a good shout actually.

THIS!!!

I demand a written apology from our ex-captain.

Well I've emailed the club to let them know I won't be paying yet (the invoice was due next week).

I've asked who's available so I'll post here when I hear back.

I'd be happy with Prutton as an alternative. As long as he comes round to personally apologise to each of us if he ever has a bad game

And turns some water into wine before he leaves.

I'd like to see some of that "raising from the dead" action too, if I'm honest

Any chance of Douglas?

Jesus !

Welcome back

If we sponsor Prutton, can we get it in the program as "Your TEF disciples" or something like that?

Greer wouldn't even be on his way if you lot had got his sponsorship sorted quicker. He's off because he feels unappreciated.

that would infer only 12 of us though


it should be "your TEF flock"

Currently available are:

Phil Smith
Sean Morrison
Nathan Thompson
Billy Bodin
Will Evans
Michael Timlin (unconfirmed)
 
Management:
 
Danny Wilson
Peter Shirtlif
George Wood
Roger Jones

I vote Morrison, our unwavering support will help raise his game

Booooooooooo. Lets see who comes in.

edit: that booo was that Prutton isn't available.

Danny Wilson is gone to me as I have been given a great deal to re-new at lunch time today.

Did you get a lunch thrown into the deal? I vote Timlin if there are club sandwiches all round.

Morrison for same reason as Si Pie or Phil Smith cos some TEF love would help counteract the boo-boys

lets wait and see who we sign, get the club to give us first option on a new player?

Billy Bodin - he's cute as a button!

Plus we all know Seany boy is an avid TEF user

Billy Bodin, because he's going to go on to great things and his dad's a town legend (who is also the only reason Billy is still at Swindon!) Oh and hes also a local lad.

I don't think we should use the TEF sponsorship to further JFW's grooming ambitions though

I think a Poll is in order!

You what now?

He is on here quite a bit ;)

Packet of Pork Scratchings!

Who is he then?

Girly Red

As the sombrero wearing one says, see who the new signings are and if you can get first option?

Other than that Morrison

Can we sponsor loan players?

Yes. Although if it's less then a season long loan it's not really value for money.

What Si said

I go for Morrison or Bodin, although i don't mind who we pick

My vote goes to Bodin, give the lad a chance..

Yeah go with one of the lads who came through the ranks.

Bodin for me

He's not gonna play though is he?Got to be Morrison

For those that've posted their preference in this thread, please can you vote on the poll too:

http://thetownend.com/index.php/topic,39905.0.html

Still £10 short if anyone else wants to chip in.

Sonic? You wanted in didn't you?

I thought we had pledges well in excess ?

We had just enough to cover the £450, but worcesterrobin, a one post wonder, didn't cough up.

if Sonic doesnt want to do it I will put the remainder


Actually I will do it anyway, I think he is with his missus in Norway, he can always pay me back if he wants to when he gets back

Take it as covered mate

Even worse, he's been sent to Coventry

Got some sauce...the fucker.

Who we doing?

PM me your bank details and I'll transfer a tenner to you. Sorry for the late response, they're about two days behind the rest of the world here

I think we should now sponsor big Tom Dossevi if he is available!  Potential legend?

Righto, time for the much awaited draw again.

Prizes are:

• Two passes to the Sponsor’s Suite for one of two pre-selected League One fixtures – Sponsor’s Reward Fixtures  (subject to availability).
• A fully signed Home or Away team shirt of your sponsored player, to be presented at The Sponsor’s evening – ‘An Audience With STFC’ dinner.  (The shirt can be professionally framed for an additional £85.00)
• Two Complimentary Main Stand tickets to a Coca Cola home League One game

I'm going to start drawing them now, building up to the main prize of the signed shirt.

Ok, first up with the two complimentary main stand tickets is...

Dave

Second up, two passes to the sponsors suite...

Sippo

And last but not least, the big one, the signed shirt...

yeo

Congrats all. Thanks again everyone for your support.

I'll be in touch with the winners shortly.

Fix!

Ha, I won.....tickets to a home game.

Possibly the most un-needed prize I've ever won. Cant think of anyone who'd want them either.

Might be worth having a re-draw or something?

See if Yeovil will do a swap  :)

If you don't want them then yeah I can draw another name out.

Thats very noble dave

I dont need them and I cant think of anyone who I could pass them onto, apart from someone on here anyway.

Yes, have a re-draw - let someone else who has actually paid some cash have the tickets.

:)

You did pay me.

Anyway, I've redrawn and the lucky winner is Anteater.

No, I know I paid - I meant if I just opened it up to the TEF first come first serve, then they would probably end up going to someone who didnt pay in the first place.

Ah, I get you now.

Yay!!

what does this mean for me? Is it certain games?

Any Category B game, which is any game apart from Charlton and Sheff Weds.

Is it that suit, and meal jobby?

Yes.

cool,I won the shirt.

I dont have to go to that evening thing do I?

Thanks Sam.

Well done Yeo...

I still look on my Paynter shirt with pride.

Update...

Ball's gone back to Man City so we get another player by default. Now, I thought we'd probably get stuck with a youngster but apparently we've been given Matt Ritchie. That's a bit of a bonus.

that is a bonus! mulley will be over the moon

I never contributed... would be worse if a) I did, and b) it was Rose or AOB.

Don't you like Ritchie then?

I'm yet to be won over, but appreciate that filling Wards boots is a big task...

Think of him as an alternative to AOB and you'll be fine. :D

Do the prizes get drawn again????

Haha, that certainly puts it into perspective!

That's an upgrade as far as I'm concerned!

Me and Meat had a great day yesterday. Thanks Sam for organising.
