Player Sponsorship 2009/10

[Uncle Leo]

All,

for the last couple of years ShrimperZone has sponsored a Southend United player for the season. This has been achieved through contributions from posters on SZ effectively buying 'shares' in the sponsorship. One share would then get you in to a draw to win one of the following:

• An SUFC shirt signed by the player
• Two tickets to a home match
• Two entries to an evening with the squad

No confirmation from the club as to costs this year, but we reckon it'll be something like £500 in total. So, before going ahead with sponsorship for next season, we'd like to get an indication of interest. We'll need around 50 £10 shares to be bought and as the SZ coffers are a little light at present we won't be in a position to make up the shortfall.

So, if you think you'd be interested, please reply to this thread, indicating how many shares you would be likely to buy.

I'll kick off by pledging £10. So £490 to go...

Thanks,

The SZ Team

 

[MK Shrimper]

Yep I'll also pledge £10.

Cheers people. We're 10% of the way there already!

Which player do you have in mind?

Which player do you have in mind?

Not sure yet. Most likely a new player, although we have been offered James Walker. Wasn't mad keen on that option I must say....

it would be good to have a goal scorer, so the SZ name can be read out

Did I read that right? Or have you spelt Macca wrong?

You read it right, Macca's sponsor has been the same for the last few years, Jeff is a new player, with huge potential.

You can put me down for a tenner for Jeff. If its Walker ill politely decline.

I Thank you

 

[Uncle Leo]

JFC would be a popular one; I shall enquire about his availability

 

[Ricey]

Put me down for a pledge of £10 as usual.

Can't we try and get Lee Barnard? But knowing our luck we will sponsor him and first game of the season he will have an injury that puts him out for the whole season! What has actually happened to Paul Furlong is he still on our books?

 

[Irish_Shrimper]

What has actually happened to Paul Furlong is he still on our books?

IIRC, he's out of contract this summer - and Barnet are interested in signing him up.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Any idea how we're doing? It looks like about £200 in pledges so far on the two threads.......we don't know what the target figure is or how Uxbridge got on with his "enquiries"?
