Excitement builds as Ahmad's "Big and Exciting News" imminent.

[Shadrack the Red]

We may just have had the "big and exciting news" revealed on the Official Website.

The extension of a sponsor scheme with Rapid Response Telecoms, a local fibre firm, has been announced.

The write up includes the words/phrases--

"exciting collaboration"

"BFC and Rapid Response are excited" about the schemes potential

Ahmad says "We are excited for the next two years and what we can achieve together"


With all this excitement this could indeed be the "exciting" news we have waited for. The company's logo will feature on the arse of shorts, on Toby Tykes kit and on "Legends" material. 110 £10 Kids Season Tickets will be donated.

On a serious not I think the donation of the season tickets to kids is a smashing gesture , I know it is not a vast amount financially but anything to encourage kids is to be applauded .

I agree Shads.

I hope the gesture includes an adult ST for each of the Kids
's Tickets so they can be accompanied and adults do not have to spend the cost of their ticket.

Of the 9000 Season Tickets sold it would be interesting to know how many are Kid's ST's. I know that if I were a parent of a kid in that age bracket then spending an extra £10 for a Kid's ST for the year would be a no brainer. Even if the kid/kids only go to two or three games it's a winner. Also the seat can be "saved" for an adult mate who buys a ticket with a poorer view for the bigger games/ Cup Ties and then moves into the empty Kid's seat.
