Reading Rebel Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Looking at the MyFC site, they have a pledge bank up and running to raise some money to sponsor another football club when the current sponsorship with STFC runs out. Unless I'm reading it wrong it looks like we are going to lose MyFC as our away strip sponsors for next season. Can anyone from the club shed some light on this?

epicrebel Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 you are reading it wrong More important question is how are you reading it RR. I recommend specsavers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reading Rebel Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 The words 'further sponsorship over the next couple of years' when business is done with STFC. Perhaps mis-leading to anyone who doesn't know what's going on behind the scenes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HorshamRebel Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 That is to donate to their next sponsorship, as in NEXT Season with Slough Town This is one of the many sub groups they set up to help put with paying for things. For example, they set one up to pay for the special shorts that our injured players needed a couple of seasons a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarySTFC Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Would hardly inspire him to sign up though would it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reading Rebel Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 Why would I even consider signing up to MyFC when I don't even know if they are going to be one of our sponsors for next season? Negotiations have been ongoing for a few months now and might, for all we know, come to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reading Rebel Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 Just bad wording on the FB page. HR, if it's, as you say, just bad wording, can we have it confirmed that that particular pledge request is for the benefit of Slough Town and not as it say's 'no particular club in focus through this appeal'?

A Rebel and a Saint Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 The pledge was started long before the negotiations with Steve began, they did not know if they would be sponsoring us for the coming season...and still do not as the negotiations are still going on...so they could not specify at the time that it would be for the benefit of STFC specifically.

Glover Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Just to clarify the situation. Negotiations on a new sponsorship deal with STFC have concluded and myfc are voting on the proposal to sponsor the club for the 2015/16 season. Voting finishes on 26th June and the result will be made known on the myfc site, I will post it on here so that any non members are aware of the result. There are NO other clubs being considered for sponsorship next season and in a recent vote 95% of the members voted to pursue a new deal with STFC.

A Rebel and a Saint Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 The pledge is dated June 11th. Really RR? Maybe you should actually check the pledge page that has a creation date of the end of January in the sign up chart, the Facebook post sharing it is dated 11th June. It's good of Nick to post an update, as technically votes like this are meant to be confidential to members only until they end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As already said, it was much appreciated from Glover. Cleared the air from any potential misunderstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
