Just saw this. I couldn't believe how cheap it is - only £2500 roughly for full match day advertising.

My instincts say they'll have to refuse it. They really couldn't have advertising against the owner on official boards and being welcomed to the club like this.


I’m sure you’re right. But it would make a hell of a story! Get us back into the news for a few hours.


SBWD have offered £3k to sponsor the game plus £500 to the community trust.

Its proposed the advertising will be around the club being for sale rather than anything to do with Dai

Sensible really, without being upfront about the advertising I feel they would be outright rejected.

Agree, that is sensible and is a lot more constructive than just focusing on the owner as an individual. Great job and as the club keep saying "we're intent on selling", they should accept this.

Considering we turned down 1million + offers for knibs I don’t think the clubs finances are in quite the perilous state people make out.

Handled correctly this could be an even bigger news story.

A club struggling to survive financially, whose owner (through his mouth piece(s)) avows his good honest intent to sell, turns down a supporters group prepared to pay over the odds to help advertise that the club is up for sale.

Yea agree. I didn't like the tone of their email, a few points in there, but specifically:

Poind 4: "Dai Yongge and his cronies haven't seen the stadium for years - they won't even notice" doesn't sound right.

Point 5 of the email "We've only got five players in June - won't be much hospitatlity to sell, may as well try something new" sounds simplistic and not professional.

....

I'm also a bit annoyed they haven't posted an update to all of this. They're quick enough to say they're sending it and to then ask supporters if they're willing to help with "something" on Saturday. But they've not said what the club's response was to the offer - if any. Unless I have missed it.

I imagine they got a standard £2.5k offer from a normal sponsor and didn't think dealing with SBWD was worth the extra £1k.

Yea, can't blame them really for that. They're all still employed by Dai and his sister. I don't think accepting money from a protest group who have done all sorts to target them would go down well.

They'd also have more media attention on the club, more pressure from the owners.

Fans should realise they although they probably feel VERY similarly to us all, and probably even on this forum, on twitter, sick of Dai, they're still employed and still have to act accordingly.

In the same way you all may think you're boss is a little weasel and your company are shite, but you can't really send emails out saying this

I understand that SBWD have set out a petition, asking for a review of Dai's ownership etc. As I won't be at the game tomorrow, my phone can't read QR codes, and I don't do social media, is there a website I can sign?

I guess we'll see tomorrow. No sponsor at all will say a lot about the 'desire to secure a future for the club and real commitment to sell' of Dai, Pang & Howe. My money is on Pissy Pang, not the ordinary decent hardworking staff like Tim Kilpatrick, blocking the SBWD offer.

For all his flaws, I hardly think Howe is part of the problem.
