http://www.cafc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/charlton-athletic-sponsor-a-player-201617-3273243.aspx

Those were the days when Charlton Life sponsored 7 or 8 shirts a season.

Note the benefits no longer seem to include a mention on the sponsors page in the programme but do include 4 free match tickets.




"The benefits include -
• Recognition on the big screen
• Recognition on www.cafc.co.uk on our player profile page
• Meet the team at the end-of-season sponsors event
• Photo with your sponsored player
• A signed, match-worn shirt presented by your sponsored player
• Access to the Vista Lounge for you and three guests for a game of your choice this season, including padded seating on the half-way line.
• A Charlton Athletic gift"

    Due to ankle and and knee problems over the last few years, my left peg isn't what it used to be (it used to be almost as good as my right, which is still pretty shit). Do you think they'd let me go right back and move Solly to the left? If so, I'm in.

    Recognition.

    The top two goodies are recognition.

    £5000 would be cheap at the price for that kind of reward.

    Recognition.

    We'll resume sponsoring as soon as the regime changes.

    Hopefully there won't be a single take up.

    I had a call this week asking me for my thoughts on renewing my shirt sponsorship. I declined, gave my reasons and told them that I would renew once the regime have gone.

    I believe the current regime are asking potential shirt sponsors for money starting at £1000 for training socks and going upwards from there.
    I might be wrong about this.
    Club staff conference attending fees don't grow on trees you know.

    Another example of how way off Katrien was with her "ticket sales are only 1/3 of the income".

    Overlooks the fact that much of the commercial and sponsorship income came from fans but many have walked away.

    Hence why, I suspect, the page has gone from the programme as that would advertise the gaps.

    Crikey, how many pairs of socks can a player need in a season?

    I first suggested the idea of sponsoring players kit to the club back in Selhurst days. It was taken up the following season so I thought that I should put my money where my mouth was. Not a lot of money you understand as I only have a dainty gob. I sponsored mark stuarts socks for 25 quid from memory. hence he will forever be known effectionately as socks in my household.

    Pretty sure Garth Crooks socks were only a tenner when I done it. You must have sponsored his shorts not his socks ;)

    Someone pointed out on Twitter (I think) that the pitch side advertisement boards are quite widely spaced. Obviously you would have natural wastage on relegation, but also there's the Miere factor coming into play.

    Maybe the Charlton gift is watching a match of your choice from the sofa?

    Well educated American (Gibbs went to Brown, an Ivy League school) who you've never seen and has lots of experience with injuries? Shut up, you don't know me!

    I believe there are around 81 shirt/kit sponsorship opportunities for sale, and I briefly counted 15 that have been taken up.

    Less than 20%....but on the up side more than 2%.

    If the figures here are right at £500 a pop, then it is about £8000 taken in shirt sponsorship so far (without VAT taken into account).

    Deffo socks. could easily be wrong about amount. I would need to get up in my lift and hunt through the old programmes.

    Nothing else was in offer though, just the glory of getting your name in the programme and being linked with supporting my club so obviously wouldn't consider it now at any price or add-ons. Nope not even if squirrel threw in a BJ.

    What about sponsoring a player to wear a protest shirt? ;0)

    As there rightly seems to be a protest against the regime by not sponsoring players, can I make a plea to those that normally do but haven't this year as where to put some of those funds (outside of the protest fund of course).

    Charlton Womens team receive NO money from the club and have to self fund. The only help they get from CAFC is the use of the training ground. I find this despicable to be honest, the club will happily use them when they do well to promote the greater Charlton but short arms Roland won't help the womens team financially.

    Therefore sponsoring a player from the Womens team would not be helping fund the regime. I hope it's of interest to some, i've sponsored 3 players now. It's only £50 a player. They were tweeting today as have 28 (now) sponsors compared to last years 57, I fear they have suffered as a result of the regime unfairly.

    Remember, they get no financing from RD/KM etc.

    So if you can, please help ;

  • I like that idea
  • "Meet the team at the end of season sponsors event"

    Sounds as though the dinner may have been downsized to a "take a plate & wander around" type of buffet.....
