Just been announced by the club from next season There also have been rumours doing the rounds that we will return to Macron as shirt manufacture & that the main sponsor will not be a betting company. We will wait & see what transpires.
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

It's about time one of the emerging UK banks gets exposure. Monzo, Starling, Chase and Metro (whose colours are as ours) Anything except a betting company would be welcome before the government issues a ban on these companies. And if the new shirt is by Macron that is fine with me - just hope it is not Castore who have made a blitz on the soccer shirt market. And a personal preference (showing my age) would be for a collar !

I don't thing sport should accept any sponsorship from socially irresponsible brands e.g. gambling / tobacco / alcohol or crisps (obesity) etc.
One more point |

I would love a return to TDK just for the nostalgia - but isn't making mixtapes emotional heart ache and too much of an irresponsible thing to do?
This was once a quality forum.... |

It would be simple to argue that professional football itself is irresponsible e.g. astronomical carbon footprint, disruption, crime and disorder, welfare of participants (head injuries, addiction).

Maybe if we got Amazon as our sponsor it might encourage our wingers to deliver the ball into the box a bit quicker.
