A canny move by PC which can only go on to strengthen the clubs position in the community even more! The logo should tie in well with our kit also. http://mm.gmstatic.net/2/306688.jpg

Can't believe we're taking money off a charity... First impression was what a brilliant idea, until I found we're charging them for it!

Let's wait and see the full story before commentating. Initial thoughts are I agree with you Ste but there could be a valid reason they are doing it that way

Call a spade a spade? this might be good PR, take Barcelona, they paid UNICEF, not the other way around.

Its a small fee, there's probably more to it, and I imagine they will get more out of it long term.
A good move by the club IMO.

A very worthy decision and deserves supporting. Fits well with our 'community' aims and might also be a shrewd move to counteract the inevitable 'moneybags' Barrow accusations we'll have to get used to in the near future.

If you want to have a charity sponsor you it should be for free, but on the plus side its a local project which hopefully will receive a boost from this
