I see that the sponsorship packages for players have been released. There was talk a while ago of Deva Chatters clubbing together to sponsor a player, which seemed to go down well. The relationship between the board and Deva Chat hasn't always been great, although Jeff Banks has always been good at sticking his head above the parapet, so I think this can only be a good step. It might also show that despite the bickering on here, deep down, we are all pulling in the same direction (maybe rcb and oaks blue could do a joint sponsorship of their own?). I believe it is £180 per player, so simple Maths says it's a tenner a pop for 18 of us. I'm going to set the ball rolling then pass the buck - maybe one of the Mods (Si?) could organise as I'm not sure of the safest way of collecting the pledges. Anyway, a tenner from me.

Well reminded. I’ll set up a crowdfunded later on after I get the little one to bed.

Great, Si. I assume you will post on this forum When it is up and running. I will contribute and think we should be able to sponsor a number of players. So perhaps we also need a poll on which players we sponsor.

Would hope there’s enough interest to cover a couple of players, considering the amount of posters on here.
When I was part of then-Deva Chat FC (renamed Chester Supporters FC) we sponsored Neil Young. It was thought that sponsoring a manager over a player would give better value - especially during the revolving door of Young’s stewardship.

A player with a big reputation that hasn’t yet hit the heights of what everyone expected (albeit he’s played 7 games). That way it’ll show that even though we’re expectant we also have trust in him to perform in a Chester shirt. Just a thought.

Hi all please note. Jonno, Bern, Calum McIntyre, Jimmy Soul and Rhian our new physio have all been sponsored plus Matty Hughes home shirt has gone today. I would suggest if you want a home shirt let me know asap so I can hold it for you or we have plenty of away shirts available.
I agree we need to connect to the fans commercially, even if you can't do something yourselves get the word out to businesses you know of to contact me.
Many thanks to one and all.

The Crowdfunder page for this is now live. Feel free to donate as little or as much as you like and when we reach the target I'll do a poll for who to sponsor based on who is still available. Deva Chat Player Fund

£156 after a few hours not bad that It's a brilliant effort, Chester fans stepping up to the plate once again. I'd really encourage as many as possible to get involved - it doesn't have to be a big donation, but the point is that it would be great to see loads of posters on here putting in £2 or £3 just so it's not a handful of generous fans putting their hand in the pocket (but big thanks to those who have already!).

That's not to sound ungrateful at all to those who have put their hand in their pocket, we have already hit the target for one player sponsorship so we are now into the stretch target for 2 players. It's great that this forum can be used positively like this, as for whatever reasons rightly or wrongly its not always had the best reputation amongst our fanbase!
