Whether or not it does is an entirely different matter… According to Wikipedia (I know!) the company was established in 1997. Quote

Bethnal Posted June 15, 2023 Posted June 15, 2023 Always been madness to me that clubs don’t pursue grocery chains as sponsors and especially now, as they’ve had a good few years. Reading had Waitrose for a bit. The first place I’d have been going would be Booths (would look excellent in a contrast red on the front of the home kit), but we’ve got a historical link to the Co-Op (via CIS) and they’ve aggressively expanded in the north. The most compelling thing for any sponsor would be the boon of the charitable trust we have and the work we do with a very diverse community. Our demographics coverage would be appealing and there’s no downside to them running promotions at home games, for club or sponsor. Cost of living crisis and your club is able to offer savings/discounts via their sponsor when you attend home games? 5% discount for season ticket holders? Possibilities are there for a creative commercial department. We haven’t had talent there for a while. 2 Quote

I get what you're saying, this is bad! But ours just look so amateur-ish, the logo itself. Like some 9-year old in art class tried to be edgy and drew something "cool"... 1 Quote

Ghost7 Posted June 19, 2023 Posted June 19, 2023 Still "Totally Wicked" on the front of shirts 1 Quote
RTM08 Posted June 19, 2023 Posted June 19, 2023 Well, that's another season where I won't be buying any shirts. I don't know who is in charge of getting sponsors etc but Recoverite aside I can't think of any since we came down to this league which didn't seem like an awful option from a brand standpoint. 5 Quote
Ben-2000 Posted June 19, 2023 Posted June 19, 2023 It used to be great when they didn't sort a sponsor out in time & had to sell them blank. 1 Quote

It's disgraceful really is. Waggot going on about how we moved away from gambling because it's so bad. Yet moves to fucking vaping. 10 Quote
JHRover Posted June 19, 2023 Posted June 19, 2023 Surprise Surprise. Local, short term, vaping. Right out of the Waggott textbook. When the Club starts taking merchandising and sponsorship seriously - having kits available to buy and actually securing reputable and lucrative shirt sponsorship- I'll believe FFP is an issue being taken seriously 2 Quote
wilsdenrover Posted June 19, 2023 Posted June 19, 2023 Does anyone know how our sponsorship income compares to the rest of the Championship? Quote
Backroom Tom Posted June 19, 2023 Backroom Posted June 19, 2023 Grim As positive the steps Broughton seems to be doing in some aspects it’s clear that Swaggott is still a huge issue Quote

Ben-2000 Posted June 19, 2023 Posted June 19, 2023 Nobody complained when we had other local sponsors such as Crown Paints. As useless as Waggott is in some aspects, his priority is to meet budget targets so your not telling me he won't have looked at other offers on the table. None of us (to my knowledge) know how much Totally Wicked are actually paying, how it compares to previous sponsors or how the income from it ranks with other Championship clubs. Quote
