http://www.cafc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/charlton-athletic-sponsor-a-player-201617-3273243.aspxThose were the days when Charlton Life sponsored 7 or 8 shirts a season.
Note the benefits no longer seem to include a mention on the sponsors page in the programme but do include 4 free match tickets.
"The benefits include -
• Recognition on the big screen
• Recognition on www.cafc.co.uk on our player profile page
• Meet the team at the end-of-season sponsors event
• Photo with your sponsored player
• A signed, match-worn shirt presented by your sponsored player
• Access to the Vista Lounge for you and three guests for a game of your choice this season, including padded seating on the half-way line.
• A Charlton Athletic gift"

I'm in if we do it
The top two goodies are recognition.
£5000 would be cheap at the price for that kind of reward.
Recognition.
Hopefully there won't be a single take up.
I might be wrong about this.
Club staff conference attending fees don't grow on trees you know.
Overlooks the fact that much of the commercial and sponsorship income came from fans but many have walked away.
Hence why, I suspect, the page has gone from the programme as that would advertise the gaps.
:-)
Less than 20%....but on the up side more than 2%.
If the figures here are right at £500 a pop, then it is about £8000 taken in shirt sponsorship so far (without VAT taken into account).
Nothing else was in offer though, just the glory of getting your name in the programme and being linked with supporting my club so obviously wouldn't consider it now at any price or add-ons. Nope not even if squirrel threw in a BJ.
Charlton Womens team receive NO money from the club and have to self fund. The only help they get from CAFC is the use of the training ground. I find this despicable to be honest, the club will happily use them when they do well to promote the greater Charlton but short arms Roland won't help the womens team financially.
Therefore sponsoring a player from the Womens team would not be helping fund the regime. I hope it's of interest to some, i've sponsored 3 players now. It's only £50 a player. They were tweeting today as have 28 (now) sponsors compared to last years 57, I fear they have suffered as a result of the regime unfairly.
Remember, they get no financing from RD/KM etc.
So if you can, please help ;

Sounds as though the dinner may have been downsized to a "take a plate & wander around" type of buffet.....
