Charlton Life Kit Sponsorship Scheme - History

AFKABartram

Updated Oct 2020

Many thanks to all those who once again contributed in our kit sponsorship scheme this year. It’s feels great to reintroduce this,  and has allowed us once again to take out a record 9 kit sponsorships, taking the total we've managed as a community to undertake since 2008/09  to an incredible 43 sponsorships. 

We’ve encourage this over the years for two reasons:

1. It allows people to contribute on a shared basis in participating to something that they would not ordinarily have the finance to do on their own, and gives the opportunities of winning the 'prizes' on offer (signed player shirts, dinner places etc)

2. Criticisms on forums get magnified a hell of a lot more than praise or support. This provides a fantastic opportunity for 'us' as a community to show that regardless what the debate or individual comment is on here, as a collective we are fundamentally a group of SUPPORTERS and we do what we can to support the club.

Below is a list of all the kit sponsorships we've taken out since 2008. Whoever was responsible for the 2010/11 selections was ‘having a Ceddie’!!

We've had four different organisers over the years, with Curb It the main ringmaster who does a fantastic job and ably assisted by Davo55 this year. Thanks to all those who have helped over the years, and hopefully help to successfully extend this into the future.

Henry Irving

Morrison now on a four year streak with CL.

Five players now in the Premier League

A few more in league 1 and 2 and one in the States

AFKABartram

and interestingly Yoni Buyens in seven years is the first overseas player we've backed. Never realised that before.

Curb_It

I wonder how Morro has managed that...

McCormack didn't turn up that night but I sat with Benson and Simon Francis. Had a great night.

Tho the night Jonjo walked past me and tapped his head and said to burton...shes not right in the head was a lowlight...

Davo55

A great thing to do, and to be part of. Well done to all involved in the concept and the management of this - especially Curb it.

Henry Irving

I think the highlight was the excitement over who was going to win the Gnome.

And a loan player too.

I think only Eccleston was a loanee. How did we end up with him? Was he a replacement for someone who left?

Excellent stuff! Keep up the good work :-)

Thanks to Curb it for doing all the organising for us.

lancashire lad

He's still sitting proudly in the back garden.

Excellent work to everyone concerned, however after reading today's programme I just wanted to clarify a couple of points

According to the match day programme this site is shown as Sponsoring

Home kit: Morgan Fox
Away kit: Joe Gomez
Training kit: Michael Morrison and Nick Pope

No mention of Yoni Buyens at all. Is this correct, or a misprint by the printers?

Addickted

Curb-It has done a runner with the money.

Currently in Bratislava.

Still no mention of us under Buyens could we only get the other 4

Curb_It

No we could not. i have paid for Buyens shirt so have asked again why its not on there.

But have we?

Still no Charlton Life in the programme

Curb_It

We have according to the spreadsheet that I have. Dont know how to upload excel or wehther i should give out that info anyway. Have chased Ravi again and asked to amend otherwise people might start thinking ive had it away.

He can give us some extra tickets as compensation

Curb_It

He has replied and said it will be updated.

Dazzler21

so who replaced Morro?

Bit late now, isn't it? The season is almost done. They should be offering either another "free" spot this year or some sort of discount on next year. The "advertising" in the programme is surely one of the main reasons people do this, isn't it? (Albeit not the reason CL do it - but that's not the point)

Addick Addict

Perhaps we could start the sponsor bandwagon for next season now and select Watt, Vetokele, Cousins, Gomez and Gudmundsson - on the strict understanding that they all guaranteed not to be sold/released before May 2016.

CL sponsoring them would almost certainly guarantee that they will leave : - )
