I agree that it's probably better if we let someone else sponsor Brandon and we follow the same plan as before where we pick a promising lad on the fringes of the first team and a couple from the 19s and 16s.

I'd go for either Matty Storton, Rowan Milnes or Olly Wilson. They're homegrown players like Brandon and Ethan were. They're on the fringes of breaking through like Brandon and Ethan were. They've got huge potential like Brandon and Ethan.

As for an informal meet if the Fighting Cock and the Punjab aren't quite suitable I'm quite happy to smash a Nando's (I believe they do a few veggie options for tigertot).

Agree with Bullseye. Whoever is sposnsored by us is getting themselves a lucky omen as the young lads we've sponsored have gone on to great things. Ethan Ryan, Brandon Pickersgill. RAB certaintly has a good eye.

Can I be the second to agree with Bullseye?

I feel the pattern so far has been correct. The club will easily get commercial sponsors for regular first team players whilst younger players might be glad to have a sponsor.

Perhaps a strategy would be to sponsor one player who is likely to play in a decent number of games at first team level ( Storton?). Then a younger player who has not yet appeared coming through from the Under 16's to the Under 19's . And if we have enough sponsors, a third young player who is named in the first team squad but has yet to make his debut.

I think the way it works is that all 2018 sponsors have first option on sponsoring that player in 2019. May have to wait and see if anyone isn't going to renew their sponsorship first before deciding on another player.

OK this is straightforward, as unfortunately we have comparatively little interest this year I will just responsor the 2 existing young lads Anesu Mudoti and Nehemiah Mensah which spends £480. That leaves a small balance and I will enquire which of the juniors we can look at for another £180. That's on the basis we will still get a couple of stragglers to make up another £180. If we can get a package of 3 with the existing money then I'll do that.

Disappointing. Obviously some people will simply be unable to afford it, but I wonder if there are any other reasons? The club have shown ambition in retaining and recruiting players and you would have thought committed fans (which presumably most members of this group are), would want to support that.

Sounds like a plan FA.

OK as there is no more interest then we will just sponsor
Anesu Mudoti and Nehemiah Mensah
for a further year.
