Would we have had a contract with Elev8 given it was in house/Chairman’s company? The next thing obviously would be who is the shirt sponsor? Might be much ado about nothing but given the way the Chairman has run the club during his time here, having a contract with an actual well known sportswear firm has to be seen as a dramatic sea change IMO?

SwellOwl Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Mad to think that having an actual kit manufacturer is of real excitement to the fans! Why from 1st July though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noleafclover Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Good news they make pretty nice kits so looking forward to seeing it. Also a small step in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely To an outsider it would seem like no big deal but as fans of this club we know this is a big move from Channers 2 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gizowl Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Someone starting to listen descent kit manufacturers just good sponsors for the front now, no more Chansiri and hopefully in time for my birthday on the 25th July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I’m with Jim on this in wondering if there’s more going on? Total silence from Chansiri ( not that unusual, but he normally has an outburst when there’s a lot of criticism) Ditching his shirt brand. Reduced season ticket prices. DBowl posting again. definitely putting two and two together, but this is most unusual. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice that, a very tradtional look too harking back to our early years, hope the price can be somewhat cheapr though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southie_Owl Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Wishful thinking that more is going on, but I guess if there was new owners they could have delayed the kit announcement? At least it may mean Chansiri is changing his ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must have been a contract, even though DC ownns elev8 it must fall under his 'group' of companies so will have to trade in a proper way Maybe it makes his life easier to contract it out if he has lost interest....he can then wind up elev8 as I suspect we are their only customer?
