Perhaps it's time to knock the sponsorship thing on the head. Players even at our level earn thousands of pounds a week and Prem players thousands a day. Why not the players sponsor a fan and pay for his/her season ticket?
If clubs were running at a profit then nice things could happen but we are a massive loss making club, millions are being wasted by others so we can watch this shit
When you hurt people enough while they are employed under your leadership, when they leave its pay back time. Many spoke out loud enough to get him gone including former sponsors, fans and employees, but many put their heads in the sand and made out it wasn’t happening, to them” I hope you’re ashamed” And as for Rodwell thanking him for all his hardwork and saying “he’s welcome back at The Valley anytime” FFS
Don’t worry TCE I once did my bit, got in the same lift, and made sure I let one rip whilst I was in there, every little helps, as they say!

Not the club. Each player sponsors a fan. A drop in the ocean to someone earning thousands.
Easy to spend others money , these players have a short career span and I know if I was one I wouldn’t want others to choose where I spend donate my money . these aren’t mega bucks prem players What’s the wage structure £1k-£7k amongst our squad

I think if the squad pooled some money based on their earnings to buy ten fans a season ticket it would be very good publicity and cost the players a couple of hundred quid. Football (in general) suck the life out of fans at every opportunity. I don’t think a tiny gesture something like the above would hurt.
It’s been obvious for years that the price of this is wrong, which has consistently been demonstrated by the take-up. I was writing about it three years ago but more because it was silly than because it matters. I assume someone thinks there will be take up if and when the team is more successful. Obviously if you are going to do it then provide a proper service.

Missing the point.
We're not sponsoring a player because they are hard up or need a shirt, it's a fund raiser for a loss making business and some fun/publicity for sponsoring fans and businesses.

If somebody sponsors a player’s something there is a name check is there not? Maybe a company, an organisation or an individual, and the sponsor is publicised somehow. However I doubt very much if everybody or everything to be publicised would be allowed by the club. I have sometimes wondered if there could be a political slant in the published name, or even something like Alex Mitchell’s third kit sponsored by ‘Eating chickens is murder’.

That link assumes sponsors are companies. Reading the blurb it seems clear that the Player of the Year dinner is now an in house club event, although I believe previously it was organised and run by fans.

The player of the year dinner, the awards and the hall of fame are still organised by the Fans Forum and mainly by @killerjerrylee
He is aware that the club made an offer in the sponsorship blurb related to the POTY dinner which they were not entitled to do and has raised the issue with them.
I'm not involved with the fans forum, although CAST are, so don't know what the outcome of that has been.
Fans can enjoy a whole host of exciting benefits by sponsoring their favourite men's first-team player for the 2024/25 campaign.
Home, away and third kit player sponsorships are now available, giving Charlton supporters the opportunity to get their name or their company’s name out there in front of thousands of eyes.
All three sponsorship packages include the opportunity to have your company’s logo in Valley Review - the club’s matchday programme. Home kit player sponsorships also ensure your company's logo will appear on the big screen at The Valley, and a link to your website will be included on your chosen player's profile page on the club website.
Home and away kit sponsors will also receive four and two Vista Lounge hospitality match tickets respectively for a 2024/25 Sky Bet League One game of their choice (excluding Wrexham).
All tiers of sponsorship include a training ground tour with a club legend, followed by a delicious lunch in the company of your sponsored player.
On top of all of this, all sponsors will also receive a personal thank you letter from their sponsored player, as well as a signed shirt and a personalised framed signed picture with their chosen player at the end of the season.
Finally, home kit sponsors will have first refusal on sitting with their sponsored player at the club's annual Player of the Year dinner (additional cost applies).
Cos the Hollywood Zelebs with their retinue of brown-nosers and K-queens will block book the whole thing cos Charlton is by far the most glamorous away trip for the taffs' tacky circus with tv crew in tow
I was really looking forward to attending both home & away Wrexham games. Because I’m married into a north Wales family & was hoping I’d take in seeing them & going to the games with them. Not a chance that’s going to happen is there. Jeez 🙄
I've genuinely had people asking me about Wrexham away tickets since the fixtures came out, main culprit being someone that goes into a lounge that also laboured under the misapprehension that he should get priority for Man Utd tickets for "being corporate" ahead of me. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out a proposed hijack, no sponsors dinner, let's find an alternative. They could well regret being hypothetically of course a tad presumptuous.
The price last season was £400 inc VAT for a season ticket holder to sponsor a home kit, and is now £850 inc VAT (with ST discount)
Looks like the 4 match tickets you get are now in Vista Lounge, but the offering otherwise seems the same (barring the POTY offer)
Seems a shame the club didn’t reach out first to come to an agreement, as I’d expect to sit with a player I’d sponsored all season if I decided to pay further to go to POTY dinner

The POTY dinner is at extra cost!
I think it's a shame the prices have been upped so much, Surely it's better to have 60 sponsorships paying on average £300 than 10-20 paying an average of £450, someone needs to give their head a fairly large wobble.
As for POTY, does the fans forum still meet/exist? No minutes etc on the website for a long while.

Should be sponsoring a Leicester shirt, surely?

I believe our Fanny was involved.

There would be significant outrage if that is allowed to happen.
I can think of many fans that have supported the dinner for years, despite how unsuccessful the season may have been , through thick & thin.
Several families with fairly young but addickted children would be distraught among many others ...and the fallout would be considerable, believe me.
This must remain an event organised by fans for fans.
Anything less would be an insult to the majority of our loyal supporters & a nod to those who can afford hospitality throughout the season.
The club will meddle with this at their peril.....
Not a chance that’s going to happen is there.
