New Sponsors

[united we stand]

lets go back to betterview, we did well with them as sponsor

they went bust a few months ago. Another firm has recently taken over the wickford site

There's such a shortage of decent potential "big business" sponsors in Southend, I'm sorry to see I&G go but not really surprised, although I honestly DID expect them to stay. Wonder if they're going to pop up on someone else's shirts?

Well lets hope we get some big time charlie take over the sponsorship. We are going up this season, starting work on FF and we have media savvy PB. All in all a good prospect for sponsors.

They are Kay, a couple of Spanish sides and Formula One under the Santander umbrella.

Typical local Double Glazing Company......I wonder if the new company is run by the same people.,,,,it happens.

Link to the Stobarts? or do they not own it anymore?

London Southend Airport would be a great sponsor to have..

 

[GIBBO]

as having no sponsor the kits will be delayed as a result? I agree London Southend Airport would look great

Britvic, MuddyFox, Regus & Dixons Group (Currys/PC World) all have their origins in the Essex area, with Dixons being born on Southend High Street..

 

[Fairport]

The interesting thing is as follows: Are I & Go pulling out for financial reasons or is it disillusionment with the club and Ron Martin?

My grand daughter worked for insure and go for a number of years and she was not within hearing distance of any sensitive information, guess you must be in a high up position lol.

With his spelling!!!

I doubt it. They have even withdrawn sponsorship from a local kids football club. So obviously Mapfre are really tightening the purse strings.

If we don't get a sponsor we should be like Barcelona, do the altruistic thing, and advertise a charity. We could run our shirts down to the local T-Shirt printing firm and get them to put UNICEF on our shirts in standard lettering (just like those sweatshirts that kebab shops get made up, nothing fancy). This would be cheap and still look classy I reckon.

How about something a bit more edgy.................'SHRIMPER ZONE.COM'. This would give all of us the opportunity to put our money where our collective mouths are. I shall probably now get slaughtered for posting this:smile:

This is a great idea. I'd be much more likely to buy merchandise with a charity name rather than voluntarily advertise some naff company.

Having said that, I bloody love Rossi's. My only fear is that the club would dust off the old custard splat shirts in the guise of a splash of lemon sorbet.

How much does it actually cost to sponsor the shirts ?

...or Hi-Tec ? Dixons...that's a good choice......Dixons was the name of a family department store where WHSmith's is now. Charles Kalms and Michael Mindel from London opened a camera shop/studio down the bottom end of the High Street. They took the name from the Department store at the top end of the High Street as it was 6 letters long which is all they could fit over the door. Personally I would love Dixons....it's the D in GPD. :smile:
