I really struggle to understand the problem with somebody sponsoring our shirt, and the club offering to iron the sponsor on the shirt for us, but each to their own, I guess.



I didn't know Simon Moran sponsored the club, I know he's a major shareholder or something but I didn't realize he sponsored us. Does he?

HE DOESNT SPONSOR THE CLUB NO. HE JUST PUTS HIS MONEY WHERE HIS MOUTH IS! (wonderstuff classic) . like i sed i wont be going out of my way to put there name on my shirt when it already should of bin done b4.

Well, don't. I was just saying that there are some fans out there who want the full replica look, lots of kids out there buy the shirt to look like the players, I'm pretty sure a few parents will go out of their way if it means putting an extra inch on their child's grin when he wears the jersey.



I don't understand why they've done it now, in the middle of the season, maybe it's just a half-season thing and it was all the business could afford (I have no idea who they are, apologies if they're a large business, like).

Talking off the full replica look .....after Eddie complained about not being able to see your numbers and you changed them did your club give out new numbers in the style they have now !!!!

Were not half way through the season and the club would be stupid to refuse the sponsorship. They (the sponsors) have done quite a large amount of sponsorship deals with local sports teams recently. God forbid they actually stop their promotional drive, just because the season has started







I suppose you don't agree with bringing in a coach 'half way' through the season, if we really wanted him we should have had him in place at beginning of season.

100& correct. We should be grateful for any sponsorhip, irrespective of when it arrives.

especiallly considering the 'money problems' we're having

IIRC Big Storage have been on the player's sleeve since the start of the year. I'm assuming the sponsorship deal wasn't made until after the replica shirts were released, so to compensate the club/sponsors have arranged to give out the stickers.

I know big storage were having problems getting a suitable transfer that would wash off after a couple of washes. But, considering they are supporting the wolves as well as local junior football teams, the cubs/scouts and St Roccos, I think we should be more than happy to get the transfer on our shirts and support them as they support our community in more ways than one.

oh sorry 2 games away from being half way thru season.

and yes ts should of bin appointed when cull was axed.

so theres your answer my friend.

Big Storage?



Big Deal.



Is anyone really that bothered about this issue, seems trivial to me.

Frankly, I have no idea what you are whining on about. Basically:



Company offers to sponsor shirt - i.e. hand over much needed cash in return for a badge on the shirt.

Club offers to add badge on to shirts for fans who really feel they need their shirt to look like the players shirts.



Can't really be anything other than good news at best, nothing worth commenting on at worst?
