Have we been paid the sponsorship money? If not the mbi signs at The Shay have to come down and a remaining season sponsor of the shirts should be sought bearing in mind the BBC semi-final exposure. If not possible a charity should be given the shirt sponsorship for the rest of the season, Heartbeat of Sport perhaps?

Great post. We have to maximise this exposure.

In effect he was sold the sponsorship on the cheap by Mark Moore... Mark Moore told the club he had got 40k for it, in which he insinuated allegedly that it was 40k per season for the next 2 years, which was then budgetted for. Really he paid 40k for the 2 years meaning a 40k hole this year... Or effectively buy one season get one season free....

If memory serves correctly we ended up with them at short notice as MBI tried to get out of their sponsorship on the cheap and one of the people currently looking to invest pulled his sponsorship at the last minute when another takeover bid failed. After been dropped in it like that its hard to blame the club for taking any money they could get but NPD were already on a sticky wicket at that point so its hard to say its come as a surprise. This courier article seems to support some of that:- https://www.halifaxrlfc.co.uk/article/48924/all-change-on-the-home-front
