We did £20 per head and raised £500 last year to sponsor 2 players, well actually 1 in the end as the money for the other one ended in the DUFF pot as the club never asked for it.As sponsorship is cheaper this year let's say £10 minimum.

I usually use bank transfer as there's no fee and is easiest for me, so if you can do that great, i'll PM details around.Failing that a cheque will do or even cash at a push.
I make that £200 and 2 players sponsored now. Great effort, lets see if we can get that final one.

Yeah they are doing relatively well although they are a fair bit bit cheaper than they've ever been so it's to be expected really.Quakerz wrote:Bloody hell so the sponsorships are going well. Are you going to give periodic updates?
We've got firm pledges for around £5K worth of sponsors across everything so far but i expect that to rise a fair bit as we've had interest for around 12 match sponsors that i need to chase up and we have our business event at Rockliffe on Weds.
10 player shirt sponsors on board and a few for boots and socks.
edit: make that 11

Will send a msg to all pledgers over the weekend with payment details, thanks for the fantastic response and feel free to vote for who you'd like to sponsor from the list above.£260 pledged, £40 to go for 3 players.

Just out of interest, with our players being part time - what happens if you sponsor someone for £100 then he moves on after 2 games?Will you get to sponsor someone new, or will you just get their shirt there and then?
This is pretty likely to happen isn't it?

Yeah I'll throw £10 inDarlofan97 - 29th June 2012 17:05:22
Not neccesarily, no. Just because a player is part time doesn't mean they can move on when they like. Dowson and the Purewal twins are on a proper contract. Can't see how they would move on after 'just 2 games'.dfc1883 wrote:Just out of interest, with our players being part time - what happens if you sponsor someone for £100 then he moves on after 2 games?

quakersam - 29th June 2012 17:06:12
Players who aren't on contract (we have a few) can move on if a club puts 7 days notice in for them. Obviously it's up to the player whether they want to move or notdivas - 29th June 2012 19:58:43
As the players will be wearing 1-11 you'll just get to switch to another player of your choice. Also at the end of the season you'll be presented with a match worn shirt, it may not be the specific number your player wore if the numbers are rotated around however we'll do our best.dfc1883 wrote:Just out of interest, with our players being part time - what happens if you sponsor someone for £100 then he moves on after 2 games?

I'd hope that despite the 7 day ruling we should be able to keep a squad together,especially if we're doing well.

Well if I can count I reckon that takes us to £400. Fantastic achievement in a few days, big pat on the back for all.We really need to nail some players down for these as they are running out fast.
My suggestion is Arjun Purewal home and away. Stephen Harrison home and a couple of pairs of boots - alright with everyone? Suggest the boots as shirts rapidly running out and could do with leaving a few for others who have shown interest.
Pledges still more than welcome by the way, we'll find something to spend it on

Just a quick update on player sponsorships, there's 1 home shirt left, that of Dan Smith and in total we've sold 37 different sponsorships between home shirts, away shirts, boots, gloves and socks.Really want to try and get the lot sponsored, would be a fantastic achievement.

Only issue i have is that i'm struggling to track any previous sponsors due to obvious problem of the old commercial team disappearing.I'm hoping many will have seen the posts on here, facebook, twitter etc. but there's always those that don't and i don't want to see their noses put out of joint.

If we wanted to sponsor Chris Porters change (away) kit as has been mentioned then it would be another £40. There's always the option of sponsoring some socks/boots as well.

You probably have but have you tried the "full statement" option on the bottom of the normal account page. It generally gives you the same transactions but with an extra column and more info although a day behind.
