I don't know all the details for UoG deal, assume no money passes hand? What is the value to Charlton, all I can see is a lot of benefits to them?
If you know no details why would your assumption be that no money passes hands?
The press release doesn't go in to much detail.. and the use of 'partnership' rather than 'sponsorship'. The release is very much about what UoG are receiving and very little about what Charlton are getting..
I can remember reading a while back that the Uni might be investing in to Sparrows Lane (or did I make that up)
But perhaps the UofG deal is beneficial in forging closer links with the community.
We’re a mid table third division team. Tik Tok aren’t at the door with a blank cheque. I think it’s a good move personally and I like that it’s a local university that’s on the shirt rather than Bet 365.

Probably because like most universities the UoG works within a tight budget. I can't see it being in a position to throw much money at Charlton.
My Dad worked for the UoG for nearly 30-years, retired a couple of years ago but was still working for them when we signed the first deal with them - He was very much of that opinion; He thought it was typical of the University to throw the little money they had at something that there wasnt much point in.
Hopefully its been more of a charitable thing from us
As we also tend to have a handful of matchdays where Students get heavily involved themselves.

We have somewhere official to give all of the free tickets too :0
Sounds good to me. My mate both works for UoG and is club secretary of a junior football club that gets grassroots tickets. I may never need to buy a ticket again!

Universities are some of the biggest wasters of money out there! UoG is probably one of the better but they're nowhere near as tight fisted as is being made out.
Universities operate in a highly competitive market, made even more so by Covid, and the resulting drop in Chinese students in particular, and by the B word we mustn't mention.
So they spend a lot on advertising and getting their "brand" well known.
I have no idea how much hard cash they have put in but remember this is only one shirt sponsor, there is also RSK who are the main IE Home shirt sponsor.
Thomas also mentioneds the importance of extra finance in the launch piece which implies that there is money changing hands.
On partnerships the club now describes all the firms that work with it as "partners". Watch Charlton TV and see KW, the name currently on our shirt, DNL Events, ITRM etc all listed as partners although those three do all do more than just put money in as I understand it.
It's either "just marketing speak" if you are a cynic or "reflecting the importance of long term relationships beyond just money" if you're not : - )

All clubs use partnership rather than sponsorship these days, in fact the RSK announcement was also called a partnership.
I have no reason, but I feel like I’m going to be underwhelmed by our upcoming kits, is it fact we are going castore, sorry if I’ve missed this as confirmation. Are they going to be bespoke design or back to the Nike type mundane stuff?.
Castore expanding quickly. Read online they are also bringing on Aston Villa, Leverkusen, Sevilla and Feyenoord this summer.
We'll be way down the list of priorities for them then.
I often wonder what's in it for Castore (or the maker of any other smaller clubs kit)? It's not like they're going to get rich off selling Charlton kits and we are a lot smaller in fanbase compared to their other clubs (the ones you've named, Newcastle, Rangers etc).
They must easily sell 100k+ shirts for those clubs and much more than that for Newcastle. Rangers sold over 250k of their latest kit in a few months last summer. What kind of numbers do we sell?

He didn't say how much.
Also asked two of the players and they hadn't seen any new shirts and hadn't heard about Castore
Didn't appear to be of much interest to them but they weren't expecting to see new kits or training gear any time soon.
