Drogs have announced that their new jersey will bear the logo of the charity "Playing for Life" for the remainder of the season.http://droghedaunited.ie/news/single/id/1293
More like they cant find a sponsor to me.

The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Murphy Environmental have been our shirt sponsors for a few years. We have a new kit this season but while it has been on sale at the Drog Shop since the start of this season http://www.thedroghedashop.ie/shop/p...php?prod=js001there has been no logo on it. Looks noow that the space has been given to charity. Its not a sponsorship deal.
Sad state that the champions cant get a sponsor.

Pity that's the only similarity with Barca.
Should have left it that way a la Barcelona.
Suppose putting a charity on it is a la Bracelona aswell mind.

Certainly not knocking the charity , Im sure they do thankless work , just amazed that the full-time admin at Drogs have been unable to secure a shirt sponsor.
It's somewhat ironic, given that Drogheda do the opposite.

Well , they are not saying , but it must have been over the odds if they could'nt get anyone.
Would imagine E100k absolute minimum. Which isn't massive money really.
Do they have the option to drop the charity later on, just saying that when Europe gets closer to the day there would definitely be a few sponsors come out of the woodwork.

tell me why did drogs not have this jersey at the start of the season without sponsors??? same with lims 37 as well... very very strange...
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Drogs players seem to be playing in last seasons jerseys?tell me why did drogs not have this jersey at the start of the season without sponsors??? same with lims 37 as well... very very strange...
Not knocking Drogs but that Jako jersey not good.
While the new jersey has been in stock for months , the old one has been worn while the club negotiated a sponsor.
Question now is.....if the club can forego the sponsorship money then why was the need to increase the gate admission from €15 to €20 this season
Because there was no sponsorship money coming in?why was the need to increase the gate admission from €15 to €20 this season
I'd doubt the fact that you have no sponsor was because you could afford to give away prime space on your shirts.

Its a sad day for Irish football if the Champions can not get a sponsor.
Surely if the money they looked for could not be gotten from a sponsor , they would have taken less than they asked for...."half a loaf of bread, is better than none at all" and all that...
Possibly decided to hold out until after europe to maximise the money they would get for a long term deal?
A bit odd they still wear the old kit with the old sponsor.
When did the Murphys Environmental deal start? Was the deal one of those that started in the old winter season and therefore runs to June? That might explain it.
Agreed. You'd think they'd have at least sold space on Doolo's head to GoldenPalace.comCertainly not knocking the charity , Im sure they do thankless work , just amazed that the full-time admin at Drogs have been unable to secure a shirt sponsor.
You can't spell failure without FAI
The FAI also sponsor PFL. Maybe the FAI cut a deal with PFL so as not to be embarrassed by its unsponsored champions?
