I liked Brentford’s idea of deciding not to bring out a new kit every season.
If every club did the same it could be linked to this campaign of course. Encourage fans to make a small donation to Shelter rather than buying a new kit every year. This would have a much greater impact and be better for the environment.
Obviously the clubs would take a significant hit in revenue so it’s likely a non-starter but it would show real intent to support a cause.
This is interesting. I live near Cambridge and have 2 kids who play in the local leagues. Norwich and Cambridge seem very active in the youth football scene, Ipswich not so much. Lots of tournaments organised by Norwich and Cambridge, and lots of the kids attend their regional development centres and pre-academies etc. Also heard of some of their scouts at games and see adverts for RDC trials. Always niggles me a bit that Ipswich don’t seem to be casting the net as wide.
Is there a way round this? For example offering a hefty promotion bonus? If a player buys into the project and is confident in success they may take the chance.
Thanks for the info. Glad to hear he is doing well, and can understand why trawling other fans’ forums would become a bit of a chore, despite the result being excellent entertainment. We can but hope that he decides to do it again some day!
I’m a relatively new listener to the Blue Monday Podcast and was having a look through the old pods. Didn’t realise HarryfromBath used to be involved with the podcast. Realised how much I miss his excellent posts and in-depth pre-match previews. What ever happened to Harry? Hope he is ok.
I think it’s that Allardyce is widely seen (rightly or wrongly) as the quintessential saviour of relegation and Lambert failed to do that in his last 3 jobs. Presume it was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment.
That’s how Lambert was described by Jim White on the excellent Blue Monday Podcast this week. I’m not sure you can get a more cutting description to be honest!
Evans is clearly waiting until only 1 out of the Cowleys, Cook and Pearson are still available before he makes his move. He can’t decide which is the best candidate so this is the best way to choose.
Barry Cotter- forgot about him. Interesting he never seemed to make the step up after initial hype. Never even mentioned as a possible first team RB anymore. Presume we are just running his contract down and he will be released in the summer...
