Son Ova Gunn 165 Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Apparently it’s going to be Hertha but they have asked for a redesign for the shirt. At first glimpse I guess it’s ok Edited June 10, 2021 by Son Ova Gunn 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Costessey Posse 22 Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) How about we have NO SPONSOR and a super swish shirt design, maybe the increased sales will help make up the difference? Edited June 10, 2021 by Costessey Posse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Apples 1,314 Posted June 10, 2021 2 hours ago, Son Ova Gunn said: what if one of the fans who buys a bond has partaken in a dodgy meat eating event or done some glamour modelling, we would have to cancel it and start all over again There would need to be a sausage history due diligence process for applicants which needs to be signed-off by the Fan-appointed Sausage Appropriateness Committee and then a probationary period to ensure that no unauthorised sausage behaviour took place after the bond had been purchased (failure to comply means the bond is withdrawn and the money non-refundable). 🤣 Seems reasonable enough.

Capt. Pants 4,092 Posted June 10, 2021 6 hours ago, JB said: If we don't want to offend anyone, because it's impossible these days, then we simply shouldn't have a sponsor. Depends how deep you want to dig with a company to find perhaps how they invest their money, or who their shareholders are - there will always be something. At this late stage that's probably the best approach, until we can do the job properly. Even then focus will shift to the shirt manufacturer and the degree of slave labour involved. Perhaps it should be a biodegradable shirt so we don't offend the tree huggers. As long as it doesn't start to turn to compost halfway through the season.

Why not apply the same principles here I guess speed of uptake on what would be a pretty short deadline makes the comparison a bit different and I think 20,000 fans is possibly even a bit over optimistic given the time constraints. Also their would be no investment/return as such unlike a bond, it’s just begging the fans for money which wouldn’t go down well with many right now given recent and probable sales Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taylor324 36 Posted June 10, 2021 If we keep pandering to the minority group of 'Oooh! I"m offended by absolutely everything because I'm brainwashed by social media" then I don't think any sponsor will be acceptable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Naturalcynic 605 Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) After their involvement in “no platforming” BK8, perhaps the Canaries Trust would like to sponsor us. All they’d need to do is sell some of their precious shares to raise some money, although sadly I fear it would probably be substantially less than the £5 million we were going to get.

TheGunnShow 5,809 Posted June 11, 2021 Bearing in mind Forest Green are sponsored by - admittedly - the chairman's own green electricity company, I wonder if a company like Octopus would be a good fit, assuming they would have a similar sort of fee available? Small but growing electricity company that's regarded in customer service terms and trying to break the cabal at the top of the utilities market. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We can always rely on you for some hysterical hyperbole when you see the slightest chance, no matter how unjustified, to attack the club and many of its fans. A mob was what stormed the Capitol building on January 6. By happy contrast what we saw this week was rationality, a strong sense of morality, and common decency coming together to help the club right a mistake it had made before too much damage was done. It would take a twisted mentality to portray that as a bad thing. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No company is perfect, they all make mistakes, we need a company that is at least trying to be ethical. Could be green energy like TheGunnShow suggests.
