Greenwich Uni to be new sponsor?

Swisdom

@PresGreenwich: Court update: @UniofGreenwich will invest in the new @CAFCofficial Training ground to allow students to take advantage of those facilities.

@PresGreenwich: As part of agreement with Charlton the university will be the official shirt sponsor of Charlton Athletic Football Club.

Cheers AFKA, posted about a second after Swisdom!!

Could be a name on the back of the shirt perhaps?

Would have thought if new shirt sponsor it would have had a bit of a fanfare, not someone at the council coming out of a late night meeting

Plenty of logo to peel off the new shirt:

We couldn't get Oxford or Cambridge. We get Greenwich.

Quite surprising, considering that geezer is head of a student union
Can't imagine they have substantial funding to offer

Interesting!

"The official"

ShootersHillGuru

Oxfords a dump.

Glad someone got it SHG !

I think it's a nice sponsorship if true real community feel to it and not one you would immediately associate with money

Love a charlton shirt having Greenwich on the front

try and hate on that Roberts!

ShootersHillGuru

I'm gutted. Was hoping it was Wonga.

vff

Charlton is in Greenwich. Greenwich is a university. It is not a dodgy lending company. Whats not to like ?

ShootersHillGuru

Sorry. Forgot a smiley thing. Uni of G would be great actually.

seth plum

If it is true then it will be the best name on the shirt since the Woolwich.

Makes sense as they already share some facilities at Sparrows Lane.

henrythecat

hope that means free tickets for all UoG staff then.

Great idea to get into bed with the local university, i know a lot of people who went there and went along to charlton games. Also, if they offer sport science degrees hopefully we can mutually benefit from the facilities.

I was hoping for Andrew's Aluminium Antennas

Henry Irving

If it is true and its still a big IF imo then

1. Alex Brooks will get his student arse kicked for leaking this

2 Happy to have another local org on the shirt although some will complain its not good or cool enough

3. It sounds like a contra deal rather than a straight sponsorship. Nothing wrong with that but the real questions are how much and is it more or less than Andrews?
