Rolands company put a big fat zero into the sponsorship fund this season and now RMW are withdrawing their shirt sponsorship as from next season.
Just how committed are they?

"its your money im after baby" or "more,more, more" both by the wonderstuff would be good tunes for the team to run out to. oops isnt this the town tune thread

Roland has pumped hundreds of thousands of pounds in STFC - including saving the club from bankruptcy at the end of Ray Bailey's reign. All Directors must put money into the club, otherwise they do not remain as directors for much longer. The club's constitution ensures the Directors/shareholders are unable to make a profit. All directors, particularly Roland, have given incredible amounts of time to the New Meadow project.

I think thats a little unfair. To be fair without Rolands money the club would have gone tits up. £750,000 in debt when he took over and the bank refusing to accept cheques, mainly due to the poor financial management of the last incubment.
I know that the directors have continually put money into the club, and continue to do so. Just because this set of accounts doesnt show any this time round - doesnt mean it wont show up next time.
I hope Jonah Guest you'll be the first one to put your name down to help on the Steering Group for the Supporters Trust come February 9th, as you are obviously very knowledgable, and juding by your posts could contribute a hell of a lot towards STFC. I await your involvement with interest

I sign on as a guest because i have no idea what happened to my password etc. And yes I support STFC by paying for me and my lad through the turnstile every other week. This isnt about me it is about those who have committed themselves to running the business side of STFC. Just seems strange to me that with the NM just around the corner they do not want their businessses associated with it. Remember these are the people who have pushed more for the NM than most because according to them it will be more commercially viable. Doesnt add up does it? As for the supporters trust I think it is a non starter unless you have someone on the board. A new board member will be impossible at this stage of the NM developement.

Remember these are the people who have pushed more for the NM than most because according to them it will be more commercially viable. Maybe its added viability has caused them to leave the door open on puropse for new businesses to invest/sponsor? It would be an added bonus for a prospective investor to associate themselves with STFC at a time when publicity will be at a high................. As for the supporters trusts they have proved at many clubs to be a success, so why not here in your view Rob?

Come along on the 9th and find out Jonah. Or go here to have a read: www.supporters-direct.org.ukMaking unsubstantiated comments on such an important issue does not help.

I like the way Rob can get under the skin of people on this board. It's nice that there is someone to rub away at the consensus.
And don't worry Roger about his credentials as a Shrewsbury Town fan.
It wasn't only Roland Wycherley's money that saved the club's financial position. The selling of players made a significant contribution, and the FA Cup run as recently as 2002-2003 is what wiped-out the club's debts.
But at a terrible cost - we are no longer a Football League outfit in any true sense.
We had better hope that a supporters' trust does work. And an important part of it working is proxy voting and share-ownership in relation to the club.
The significant links between Roland Wycherley's business interests and our Club, is the significant shareholding tha the former has in the latter.
Just think about this Rob - if we do go down at the end of this season where will the present board be? And where should they be?

Hi Ant. Missed your drift here mate. Nothing to do with trusting the board is it??? Just making a statement about their lack of support. Why at such a crucial time in the clubs history have they withdrawn their sponsorship?? Ians statement about advertising hoards being taken is irrelevant.Cost approx £500.The kit sponsorship is 23k. Big difference. Why sponsor through the bad times and give up when a move to the new GM is certain to generate a lot of interest and advertisement Surely the income for all the electrical work at the NM will generate enough for one more year. ;D ;D

Just making a statement about their lack of support. Which is really a restatement. It has clearly been stated that the directors have put in substantial sums of money and countless hours of work over a number of years. The seperate, and valid, question concerning sponsorship, should really be addressed to the Board. It would be interesting to hear there response.

How about this - the directors don't sponsor and instead they get some different companies putting money into the club - seems like good, rather than bad, marketing sense to me.
