New Kit

[bucket&spade.f.c]

With 4 weeks to go and no sign of a kit or sponsor its seems these are very early signs of a tough time ahead :(

does anyone actually know how much a kit sponsorship deal is worth down in league 2?

About £250,000

 

[Jam_Man]

About £250,000

Not for one year surely.

 

[Efe Sodje]

About £250,000

Nowhere near that. Try £50k per year

Either way it is a shambles.

How can we not have a sponsor on board and a kit ready a little over 3 weeks from kick off.

Loads of teams have started the season without a new kit or sponsor , Port Vale did it 2 seasons ago and got promoted , its not all doom and gloom , as long as we have the players

I have the full outfield home kit from 98/99 in size M. Anyone else want to make a contribution?

Perhaps Ron has still got some silver LDV kits left over in his garage to give to the team :smiles:

Its quite cheap to print on a tee shirt, dread to think what Shrimperzoners would suggest though?

How do we know we havent got a sponsor ??

Personally, I feel that all will be revealed on Meet the Blues day, ie the new kit (as it normally always is) which will also show the new sponsor !!

Went into the clubshop yesterday and the lady serving there said as
far as she knows the new kit won't be out till the first day of
the season!

Because they would announce it.

It is all a bit farcical, we had the chap who works at Insure & Go on here months ago saying it wouldnt be renewed, you would think the club would have had wheels in motion, unless Insure and Go didnt tell the club.

True, especially as Ron had to go to Spain to speak to Mapfre about extending the sponsorship last year (http://www.southendunited.co.uk/news/article/310513-insure-and-go-850669.aspx). It should have been clear that a back-up sponsor would need to be scouted in case I&G didn't renew this year.

So would you rather the club released the new shirt at meet the blues day without any sponsorship on it, then released a newer version with the sponsors logo on it a few weeks later?

Now that would be a shambles......

At least we'd have a kit.

And having one without a sponsor would look good and be a nice change but obviously a club our sizes needs a sponsor.

No, I would rather the club get their **** together and get a sponsor on board in plenty of time to get the kit ready for launch, before the season begins...

It's not too much to ask is it?

As Jam said above, it was said several months ago that Insure & Go would not be renewing, why has it taken so long to get another sponsor on board?...or not as the case may be....

Well club shop staff won't have a clue as they're not employed by the club.
