    A step in the right direction and another action that shows the club being better aligned with the fan base.

    Well you've got the opportunity to have one without now. I just think that sponsors are always a big part of a football kit. It's what has made a lot of kits iconic. Think of the ORA kits.

    Obviously we are all entitled to our opinion, but I do think we've become conditioned to accept shirt sponsors - people think they look 'bare' / like a 'training top' without one? I'd say they are a necessary evil, we'll accept it because we need the cash, and this new initiative is certainly an improvement on Hex.

    But I can't say the sponsors are iconic; Ora makes us remember the team, but the team would have been no less special without a sponsor, and football would definitely be preferable without shirt sponsorship altogether. Surely we want to see the club colours not be told which random online betting service to use??

    Great stuff. Would quite like to sponsor us for a match, wonder if there’s any free slots
