Were they giving out free vodka kick drinks at the time ?. 🍹 🍷

There were a few samples 😉. Obviously the days of alcohol shirt sponsorship are long gone. I'd imagine betting isn't now too far behind.

Bring back a tasty bit of Lyons cakes lol, or a nice comfy Shaw carpets. 👍

What happened to Taits, Hayseldens, Brooklands motel, Sandal Bayern, Big thing, and Ora.

Sponsorship just spoils football shirts imo. They should abolish it right across the board. Dump squad numbers anorl and bring back numbers 1 to 11. Release a new shirt every 2 years instead of every season.

Even in these poor financial times for everyone , you would have thought the Club would have been on this to generate some income ? The last lot should have had this in place , I fully expected a well known name on the shirt , we now have lost CK BECKETT , PALMER CONTRUCTION , INVESTMENT ROOMS , although I heard 1 of them maybe coming back on reduced sponsorship ? Similar the local Car dealership which was very nearly lost , a rumour going round is if No sponsor is found , Barnsley Hospice and Weston Park Hospital may feature one on the Home Strip and the Other on the away strip ,
Who is in charge of attracting potential sponsers at Oakwell ?

Weston Park Hospital on the the front of our shirt at Plymouth tomorrow ♥

Khaled Ahmad and his commercial team could well be bringing a new radical approach to the meaning of shirt sponsorship.

Don't get me wrong I think it's great that Weston Park and Barnsley Hospice will benefit when the match-worn shirts are auctioned off and it would be a wonderful gesture if Parekh uses some of his millions to subsidise the supporting of the community each game by the club sponsoring a new cause and selling the shirts after each game to raise money for that cause. What a statement of community involvement that would be with Barnsley FC setting the trend world wide. The more I think about it, the more I am warming to the idea.

But somebody may like to whisper in Khaled's ear that the idea of sponsoring shirts at other clubs is that an organisation pays the club to put their name/ logo on the club's shirt and that raises income for the club.
It does signal possible incompetence that a shirt sponsor has not been found before the season has started.
