Well I have been asking all of last season to buy a repilca shirt but nobody bothered to get back to me blaming 40-20 so I gave up! Even a small amount of cash would help!

that's not true and you know it.

we have had numerous conversations resulting in you telling me you wanted a XXL shirt (IIRC), me saying we don't have any in that size right now. but when we order more, we'd sort you one out.

you want to pay up front that's ace of you. but also not too fair on you

C'mon Marto, you state that 250 shirts were sold yet there are non for sale? Yes XXL is correct but its now 2009 and 2008 has passed. I tried emailing Giovanni (40-20) and he has a policy of not replying to emails. Others have tried to buy from him too.

I'd have nowhere to keep it if I won.

What happened with the co-op sponsorship? Thought about lobbying within the co-op to rethink their decision, due to the nature of the organisation you could get people signed up as members and then use this group of people to ask why the sponsorship is being cut. There are also elections coming up for Leeds Co-op so lobbying of candidates could be effective.

I don't know how much you need to raise but you might want to consider selling raffle tickets to businesses for main shirt sponsorship.

Only a limited number of businesses can afford to pay for shirt sponsorship, but any business could afford say £20.00 for a chance to win the position as main shirt sponsor.

I've done it before at a small Union club selling tickets at £10.00 each and we raised over £1000.00, not bad for a small (new) village team. get everyone involved from the committee down to the players, it works.

Best of luck.

You know, thats not a half bad idea.

Any thoughts on that Marto ?

Like I mentioned on another thread, I have a board of directors to answer to now, and three effing accountants (oh the joys of selling out) so its not so easy for me to slip a few grand under the radar (they wouldn't understand rugby sponsorship, not unless we get something back for it, 'kin Philistines), but I'm sure I could snaffle £50 out of petty cash on a lame excuse, especially if someone who's signature can't be read would sign for it

How about a shirt sponsor raffle among local businesses, at £50 a time you'd only need 100 and for all the losers you could maybe donate a page in one of the programmes to list them all ?

I agree, it would be a great idea. £50 wouldn't be too far beyond the reaches of some individuals too, especially if you could throw in some incentive for private individuals who sign up. I'd have a crack and ask for some charity logo to be used on the shirt if I won in the draw.

We don't need one thanks very much. We live within our means.

We may not have a lot but we have recorded a profit for each of the last 4 years. Not big profits (£4k, £11k, £19k and £84k) but profit nonetheless. How many other RL clubs can say that ?
