Practice! Seriously, I thought the club had it sorted. But it would appear they didn't. Then they come out with a load of bull. I know for a fact what I posted is true.

i was told of this 3 weeks ago but have been on hols so didnt post anything.
The metrel deal fell through because bliers(?) of matrel was not in a position to do such a deal, nor was the company.
As a business owner and employer myself I cannot understand why the club did not check out both the individual and the company before agreeing the deal. my understanding is also that the club has had little or no money from this deal and has placed the shirts into production with the matrel logo on !!
be ready to recieve your shirt with a dirty great sticker on the front covering this whole mess up .

Based on what you say it does seem that Metrel have stepped aside now that Cas have found an alternative sponsor. I've no problem with the club preferring not to reveal the full details as to why Metrel were prepared to step aside.

Spot on, i've also know this as well for quite a few weeks.

It seems a strange situation as it was the managing director who ok'd the deal in the first place.
