Taken from MYFC

[EUFC superb]

Apologise if this is already on here, but I can't find mention of it. This is C+P'ed from MYFC for all of you who aren't part of it:

Club sponsor Eurostar have come up with a unique way to celebrate the football club

[Santa]

Truly awful idea even if it does raise money for the club, I know we are not Barcelona but we have to draw the line somewhere ffs.

 

 

 

[Uncle Urchin]

shall I offer a few quid to have UU on the shirts?

[Hirsty]

Go on Unc....I dare you.......at least we know ( sort of !) who you are !!

 

I can just see it now.......Big John scores the winner in the 89th minute....and the commentator screams "....and Akinde has done it for the Fleet......kindly sponsored by Uncle Urchin of Hornchurch !"

 

Classic.......

[rsheard]

I hate to say no to any idea that brings money into the club, but I agree with Santa on this one. It seems to cross the line into NASCAR tackiness. I'll vote no.

You make me laugh so much HJA.....!

 

I think it's more than tacky.

I hope you and your son enjoyed your visit Robert, the Aldershot game was a whole lot more exciting than the Woking match.

I appreciate Eurostar's attempts to promote the club (and themselves obviously, but no harm in that), but I don't much warm to this idea. Imagine 11 usernames on the front of our shirts, stuff like Stafford4Life, Gunnersboy, Hammers Halfwit, Gills4Eva... on OUR shirts. At Wembley.

 

I'll take all the money we can get... most of the time. But not on this occasion.

Me too Robert. I've also voted 'no' - this is a step too far for me.

[kaizen]

Reeks of tacky this one.... let's hope it dies at birth

[Jeff]

I also voted no on this.

[Lord Horn]

Jeff - I've also said my piece on the article comments on the MyFC site, where I think a lot of people agree with us.

 

[Jeff]

I think it is a bit tacky to be honest.

[Ding]

I've also voted No

MyFC members' reaction to this idea actually gives me more faith in the whole project. Most seem to have seen this as a well-meaning but ultimately tacky idea... though let's hope the silent majority vote the same way!

And besides, what would a winning bid for having your username on the shirt raise?

[chris blanc]

I voted no too

[Yorkfox]

I suggested using the names of 11 famous Gravesend & Northfleet players from the past, eg the late Sam Chambers.

....the one off final shirt is not exactly the familiar red though is it, when did we play in that colour ?

[kaizen]

Now that would be a nice touch Yorkfox...
