When was the last time we went sponsor-less in a competitive game - the start of 93/94 when the contract deal with Muller was yet to be fully licked?

I wonder their match day catering is in-house. If it is am I right in thinking they can't sell food or drink either?

Edit: Ignore, Dave has explained this elsewhere.

Those shirts were great without the Muller logo on them. I even liked the green away one

I've mentioned before that I have my shirt framed with Paul McGrath's autograph where the sponsor's logo should be.

Chelsea have lost their main sponsor 3 now

So they'll get to play in shirts with no logo emblazoned across them? Bummer.

Still 40 million quid they ain't getting

Would be such a shame if it meant them going into administration. https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/soccer/arid-40826009.html

Massive points deduction and off you fuck to the 'Championship' it is then!

Had to do a double-take this evening flicking on the Sevilla-West Ham Europa League game and the 'ammers didn't have a sponsor on their shirt. Not sure why, doubt it was a "solidarity with Chelsea" move (!); is it something to do with gambling companies on shirts being banned in Spain?

Gambling company logos have been banned from football shirts in Spain since the start of the 21-22 season, so the Hammers had to remove the logo to abide by the rules.

Several Spanish clubs wore plain shirts at the start of the season whilst they found new shirt sponsors, having had to terminate deals with betting companies.

So, UK and Republic of Ireland in line to host Euro 2028 after no one else bids. It will be interesting to see to what extent this figures in NSWE's thinking. I hope this sets a timescale for ground improvements, and would like Villa Park to be chosen as a venue because of its quality, rather than geography or population density. There is clearly some work to do to increase the capacity and raise the standard of the facilities.

UK and Republic of Ireland in line to host Euro 2028 after no one else bids
Confirmation expected by Uefa executive committee on 7 April
Wembley expected to host final of likely 32-team tournament

The four UK nations and the Republic of Ireland are likely to be confirmed as hosts of Euro 2028 in a fortnight after no other countries bid to stage the tournament.

A deadline for submissions is set for Wednesday, but barring a late unexpected entry, the UK-Ireland bid will be the only one on the table. This means the process of confirming the hosts can be expedited, with a meeting of Uefa’s executive committee on 7 April providing the opportunity to rubber-stamp the decision.

Potential rivals have fallen away after the five nations confirmed interest enthusiastically supported by the tournament organisers, Uefa. Italy is expected to bid for Euro 2032 instead, and a potential Russian bid has been made impossible following the invasion of Ukraine.

With Wembley able to host the final, and other matches to be held in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland and elsewhere in England, the tournament offers Uefa the closest thing to a guarantee of sold-out stadiums and the chance to recoup money lost to the pandemic.

A decision to determine the number of nations competing in 2028, with an increase from 24 countries to 32 deemed likely, will be made by Uefa before the end of the year.

The five nations prioritised a bid for Euro 2028 after deciding to drop plans to stage the World Cup in 2030. The UK government had expressed a strong desire to host the World Cup but a feasibility study conducted by the English FA found “many areas of uncertainty” with the proposal.

The bid has not been damaged by the disorder that marred last July’s Euro 2020 final at Wembley. The five nations would not automatically qualify for the tournament because Uefa grants that privilege only when a maximum of two countries are chosen as hosts. However the Guardian understands that the five nations share a belief that each should be able to compete in the finals.

So the UK and RI are set to host Euro 2028. I would hope that sets a timescale for ground improvements:

Hopefully good news for Villa Park but getting to the games in Providence will be a pain.

In today's MoS a survey of more than 10,000 fans of the 20 Premier League clubs has been carried out asking them for their opinion of their owners. NSWE got an approval rate of 98.3%, which is great, but would like to know who these 1.7% are, what more do they want?

Man United owners got an approval rate of 4.04%, West Ham 15.1%.

I suspect the revelation that you read the Mail may have a lower approval rating on here than the Glazers amongst Yanited fans.

The 1.7% is the sum total of all Birmingham fans, trying to upset the data collection.
