New Kit

Could the Shrimpers Trust step in and sponsor the first team rather than the yoof ?

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

This is true.

I don't see why the club just dont deal with you :winking:

If they want their bank account wiped dry then sure.

 

[Its Only A Game]

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....

I've got no idea how easy it is to get a new sponsor on board. Do you?

 

[mgh]

can't believe the airport wouldn't sponsor us if offered/price was right!

I think this is a missed opportunity from both parties, it be beneficial for the local area also.

At a pro club no.

At a grassroots club with 30 teams yes.

A pro club should have zero difficulty getting a sponsor on board. It begs the question then, what exactly is the problem here?

Are we demanding too much money for the privilege?

Has our reputation sunk so low that we cant even attract a shirt sponsor anymore?

Whatever way you slice it, it is a bit mickey mouse if we cannot even get the shirts sorted before the season starts (Presuming the post above claiming it wont be ready till the first game is correct)

Would be good for both parties. Reduced air fare if you go to a Southend game and show a ticket!

And maybe they won't. We might have to accept that a sponsor is not going to happen just yet, if at all. I really hope I'm wrong.

Random curiosity (no I am not interested in putting my name on the front of the shirts ....) what do we reckon the going rate for a league two kit sponsor is?

 

[RHB]

Posts 303, 304 and 305 reckon between 50k and 250k

I heard the new sponsor was Rossi icecream, this rumour might be a bit flakey though.

You're milking it now..

 

[North Banker]

I heard it was the chippy, but I'd take that with a pinch of salt.

 

[bazzashrimper]

When we were sponsored by Rebus, I believe that the 2 year deal was in exchange for some cabling work which Rebus did around Roots Hall - that was worth around £90k I believe. It leaves me confident that the sponsor for the next 100 years will be HMRC

A good friend informs me the kits are Nike and look very nice...

Smiffy, does your good friend know if it's been one of the templates mooted on here, or in the current Nike clubwear catalogue?
