Sarumite 86 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hi Guys, As the new season is upon us - so are our options of shirt sponsorship. We are yet to hear from the club about the options for shirt sponsorship for this season - but we want to get the ball rolling early this year.. giving maximum input to MFC. This year we have three options, so I am going to put it to the vote.. and then also ask for opinions on how to improve this competition... Firstly the options: 1 - Continue to raise funds and sponsor MFC Mens senior home shirt (we have done this for the last 3 years, two years as home shirts with Whitehead and Leadbitter and the first year with Reach's away shirt) 2 - Switch and attempt to raise enough money to be the Away Shirt Sponsor for the MFC Ladies shirts (All Shirts as front of shirt sponsor) - supporting a less well supported and funded form of the club we support. (Double the cost of option 1) 3 - Lower our level of sponsorship with the Mens Senior shirt to an away shirt and sponsor 1 or more of the ladies shirts too. (Around the same cost as option 1) As you will have noticed, we as a forum are building a relationship with the MFC Ladies team (check out the new section of the forum). Also your opinion would be great on the following: Is a £10 donation the right amount to enter the competition? Would you still donate the same amount of money if it was a £5 entry - but you would have more entries? Would a lower donation value increase the likely hood of you getting involved. If you haven't entered to the shirt sponsorship competition - what might get you involved? Thanks in advance for your responses. Andy Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I vote for option 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I'd likely donate more if it was lower. I think option 3 would suit most parties, but I think if we can get the cash to go with option 2, then that would be fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites
dunnerzzz 17 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I voted for the Ladies team as they can benefit a lot more with the money. I'd rather do that than pay someone a little more to sit on the injury table (hopefully no-one is on the injury table all season!) :D 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Yes I too like the idea of the Ladies team would be great to see our logo on the kit 1 Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,811 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Option 3 for me. Reasons are: - we struggled to get enough money for a home shirt in the past. Highly doubt we'd be able to raise enough for option 2. - would like to keep supporting the men's team (as well as the ladies). - think we need to keep the incentive of a competition. Not sure whether this would happen with the women's team?! Think a fiver entry fee would be a good idea as well. Gives a bit more flexibility. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Alvescarsalesman Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Sponsoring some women "playing" football doesn't raise the profile of the forum stick to the men! After all its the reason we all support the club not because of the ladies team Link to post Share on other sites

Prowler 197 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Stick with the mens. No offence to the ladies but I have no intention of following them. Just about have enough time to follow the mens. Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 why have you put the word playing, in inverted commas? It's not about raising the profile of the forum, there are enough idiots on here already! It's about helping out the Boro Ladies team. To be fair, the reason most people support the club is because they were born in the area, it's nothing to do with who's in the team. Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,711 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Can't vote on my phone, but I'll be voting option 2 when I'm home. Think the Ladies need the money far more than MFC! Link to post Share on other sites

Gosh everyone knows women can't play football. look at them trying to play, aren't they adorable, kicking the ball around all serious like. /s <-just in case anyone thought I was serious. I'm a big fan of womens football. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure we can work some sort of prize into things if we go for option 2 alone. That was my thinking behind the fiver.. As for raising extra funds.. I have a few creative ideas - though I'll need to talk them through with Rob and the mods once I've done a bit more research.. It will mean forum members can generate income without it costing them anything Link to post Share on other sites

U18's, U21's, Senior side and Ladies.. Whichever team happen to wear the shirt and badge Link to post Share on other sites
