The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

It looks like our shirt sponsor has gone bankrupt, where does that leave us regarding next years kit etc? Will that sexy new away shirt still be made? Have we been paid the sponsorship monies?

I had a couple of weeks warning that we wouldn't have Rebel next season, although this outcome is a bit of a shock. Feel very sad for the guys there.

We aren't owed any money so no issues there.

New away kit is being manufactured without a sponsor, which will be added when the kit arrives in the UK before distribution to supporters.

Thanks for the reply. Do we have a new sponsor lined up or are we looking for one?

Nothing lined up, so now actively looking, although as above we have been doing some prep work around this given we've known for a couple of weeks that we wouldn't have Rebel next year.

It goes without saying that if anybody has any influence within an organisation that may be able to support, either by taking the Main Club Sponsorship for next season or other forms of sponsorship, now would be a great time to reach out.
