Title: Long shot request for amateur team shirt sponsorship
Post by: Lucky Eddie on July 09, 2015, 11:27:34 AM: Long shot I know - but if any of you self made men wish to give a little back to grass roots football I'm taking a side of teenagers into the Birmingham Under 21 league next season.

I need £500 to sort them out with a sponsored kit; six of them along with myself are season ticket holders so I'll be happy to put tickets your way when our fixtures clash.

Get involved - grass roots is where it's at x

Post by: Lucky Eddie on July 10, 2015, 10:24:06 AM: That's my main problem; at 17 years old they're a year away from a Landlords support.

I need something universal; something like a popular cash rich internet fans forum?

H&V on the front?

Sorry, obviously I don't speak on behalf of the people who run this site.

Could set up a crowd funding I suppose and link it here? People could donate what they wanted then. May take a little time though which would be a problem.

Post by: Legion on July 22, 2015, 02:10:33 PM: Try contacting your local Wilko or Homeserve. They have funding for things like this. We got rejected by Wilko last year as we already have sponsored kits, but have asked Homeserve for printed purple t-shirts and should hopefully hear soon.

Post by: Virgil Caine on July 22, 2015, 02:25:03 PM: Also try MacDonalds as they were committed to supporting local sports amenities/clubs. However my involvement with my lads football team ended a couple of seasons ago so my info may be dated

Wacky Warehouse?

Post by: placeforparks on July 23, 2015, 11:21:43 AM: thought of crowd-funding it? it's the internet equivalent of walking around a pub with a collection tin!
