What I heard was that Andrews were by far the better option both financially and image wise (think Bolton/Sheff Weds).WSS said:"We couldn't find anyone else, so we done it on the cheap again"

Locally based firm that makes things and who are fans = very good news.0 -

Don't understand why people look on this so negatively.
There seems to be an assumption that this is somehow a poor option. Unless people have some actual figures to support this (i.e. how much we are getting from them, and how much other similar-sized Championship clubs are getting by comparison), then this is pure speculation.
Most of us are proud of the club's strong links with the community. Mutual support from a local company forms part of this community link.
And as for people that are embarassed by having the name on the shirt, I think they need to get out more. There are Premiership teams with far more embarassing sponsors (Wonga.com anyone?)0 -

I didn't realise they were now linked in with Sykes? I remember their brown glass building on Woolwich Road, very futuristic looking it was in the 70's. My mates Dad worked for Sykes for a long time, did a lot of stuff in Saudi I seem to remember. Can't imagine what they needed pumps for out there with all that sand?0

Pleased about this. In an ideal world we wouldn't need sponsors, but as we're not I'm far happier it's a local firm that makes things as Henry said.
TBH there is some sense in raising brand awareness by sponsoring a football team. A colleague is just about to leave for F&C and I was the only one who'd heard of them, cos they sponsor Birmingham City. Now if I ever need air conditioning.....0 -

Just a shame it looked rubbish on shirts last season...

Great news as far as I am concerned. I did a bit of checking when the deal was initially announced last year and looked at all the other Championship clubs. Most sponsors were local businesses and where they weren't they were betting organisations or payday lenders pretty much.
I'm proud of what we do in the community and the fact that we are a shining light, winning awards for it. I'm also proud that we have a local sponsor, who actually support the team and contribute locally with manufacturing jobs.
It would be nice to think that the increased exposure from their sponsorship of us helped in the 20%+ profit uplift for the firm and we therefore both win from the relationship.0 -

In the assumption we weren't going to be sponsored by some global giant, willing to pump squillions into a deal, Andrews will do fine. Hopefully they won't go bust like most of our sponsors do...

The weird thing is I wouldn't mind if we had "Andrews Sykes" on our shirts, Its just the heating and air conditioning mixed with the template kit that makes it all look a bit Sunday league.0

Was a bit unsure at first but now I find it endearingly odd, and have got used to it. Another year will be fine.0
