Just to say.....

As The Big Pet Store hasn't been chosen to continue as main sponsor after the end of this season, we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support over the last 4 years.

When we first sponsored the club no other business was willing to put any money in to HTFC as the clubs reputation was rock bottom.
It's great to have been an active part of the dramatic turnaround that now sees the club in a position where businesses look at the club as a good sponsorship opportunity.

I wish to thank you, Mike, for being there when the club was toxic to any one interested in sponsorship.
You stepped in and, although in recent times you haven't received the credit and respect from certain quarters that you deserve, HTFC is now in a better place solely due to your good self.
Thank you.

That's a shame, Mike. Really do appreciate everything you've put into the club. On the plus side, this season's shirt is a jolly nice one and it'll be a while before I stop wearing it, so you can expect some continued visibility from me. The cat is also a big gutted, as she's got a lot of brand loyalty with you guys too.

Thanks mike for all your support :-)

The club is only in the "better state" because of you and all you did behind the scenes, not only your financial input but also your organisstion of the club and it's hard working volunteers!

P.S. Do I still get the discount from the pet store ;-)

P.P.S why werent you chosen??

With The Yeltz now more of an attraction for who/what has Big Pet Store been turned down? And what sort of money are we able to attract?

Thanks to Mike and The Big Pet Store for all that you've done for the club over the past 4 seasons and without doubt the club is in a much better now place than it was then.

I echo the fact about this seasons shirt, has been a pleasure wearing it with your logo on the front.

Which leads to the next questions....with a new sponsor to be announced, does this mean a new HOME and AWAY shirt for next season? I was under the impression that a new Away shirt was on the cards anyway as we've had the yellow one for two seasons now but will a new home shirt follow as well? Or will we continue to play in this seasons but just with a different sponsor on it?

Can anyone confirm?

Sure there is a league rule that prevents us wearing a shirt with an old sponsor?

Also, it'd be free advertisement for Big Pet Store when any potential new sponsor would have paid good money (hopefully) to be shirt sponsors.

Do you mean the players wearing the shirt, or fans?
I understand that the present sponsorship finishes at the end of this season so there shouldn't be any problem.

I was talking about the players wearing them during matches. Just trying to answer Dale's question

If / when we find a new sponsor, I'd assume they'd be putting a lot of money in to the club in exchange for shirt sponsorship so I can't imagine they'd be happy if we continue to use this seasons current ' Big Pet Store' shirt, so I guess we'll have to have new home shirts as well as the new away shirt.

Which is brilliant for me as I love collecting shirts.

I just hope we can find a sponsor who will match what the Big Pet Store has put into the club over the last couple of years.
