enough about that Brand from Manc, what about WBA

[daverichards]

BRING ON THE BAGGIES , BOING BOING BAG O'SHITE ;D

Anyone else think there retro sponsorless kit looks great ? Like a debranded tesco carrier bag

[salopstick]

gutted i have to miss this one

if we only win again once this season it must be against them fuckers

[JoeinOz]

Why has the shirt got no sponsor?

I like it having no sponsor. The sponsor is just someone else to phuq your shirt up.

[salopstick]

From what I heard they just couldn't attract one... more like they were probably asking for too high a price because they got promoted.

[sweetandinnocent]

there sponsor should be "Steredent" because they are toothless

[lordb]

when they played West Ham,neither side had sponsers.

great stuff,especialy on striped kits.

[vestanpance]

It's my local Derby. They were giving it loads not 3 weeks ago, they've all gone quiet now.

Beat them & Hull and basically, we're mid-table. What a fucking incentive that should be for the players.

[Alvechurch Assassin]

The West Brom and Hull games are much more important than Manure tomorrow. A great incentive for us to solidify our mid-table ranking, and continue closing on Dull.

[lordb]

+ the next home game after that is Fulham

7 points from those 3 please.

for some reason I cant quite put my finger on I think the WBA game will be a draaw but we will beat Hull (who we normally dont beat at home).
if we cant beat Fulham at home something is wrong.

Blackburn & Newcastle away arnt games to fear either.

[JoeinOz]

From those two games I think we can get four points. i don't think we'll beat them both unfortunately.

T-Mobile sponsored 'em last term and although they still remain a club sponsor, they didn't want to stump up the extra dough to pay for another season (as I imagine the baggies bigwigs added a bit on the bill). With no parties confirmed and only muted interest from Virgin, Ladbrokes and a few more I think, the Baggies decided to launch the kit anyway. If they hadn't they'd have missed out on a ton of cash from pre-season shirt sales and the hype of the Prem season ahead.
From what I've read it seems most of the fans prefer the sponsor-less kit and have asked for it to remain that way. Although I'm sure the club wouldn't listen to fans if it meant another 600k+ in the bank account from shirt sponsors.

[thepremierbanksy]

I'm getting very anxious about those two (brazil&hull) games now, I don't cope too well with being expected to win since we have been in the prem.

If we get honky tonked tomorrow i think i might have some sort of breakdown next week, but i'm confident we won't concede more than 2 or 3.

[lordb]

£600k is waht Champ' clubs get

double that figure at least

[Alvechurch Assassin]

beard, most clubs would prefer their shirts to be unsoiled, however as you suggest you just can't turn down the money.

That is a big concern for me with the ground, When Britannia finally call it a day we may find ourselves having to sell the name of the ground to the highest bidder.

[beardofzeus]

Apparently 600k or there about is what Virgin and the other interested parties were offering Brom and the fact they wanted more is why they didn't accept and are now sponsorless

[daverichards]

West Brom 0-3 Chelsea

There is the (honourable) exception - Villa's promotion of the Acorns Children's Hospice on their shirts.

I seem to remember hearing West Brom wanted a million. Can't say i know if that's a lot or not or over what time period.
