Great bit of business by PP marketing department... they couldn’t have paid for such advertising as this has brought in.

Re: HTFC - Home Kit
HTFC have apologised to fans for this.
Does it really need an apology or are people just too sensitive?

There was a piece on Look North tonight. Think it was the Chief Exec (Jarvis?) who apologised to fans.

Re: HTFC - Home Kit
One thing I did read today was from the Huddersfield Town Supporters Association who said: “We’ve also had positive feedback from parents who are pleased that their kids can wear the same shirt as the players.”

Re: HTFC - Home Kit
Paddy power have done the same with Motherwell. Part of the save our shirt campaign it's saying on Motherwell site. Liking the sponsor free shirts.
Re: HTFC - Home Kit
Huddersfield/paddy power have continued their save the shirt campaign by giving away the brand new sponsorless home shirt for free in exchange for a shirt that does contain a sponsor.

Would absolutely love our shirt sponsor (whoever it is) to do something like this. How smart do them shirts look compared with the Derby one.

I think we would all like sponsorless shirts but maybe not to have our club used as Huddersfield have by Paddy Power.Falcon wrote:Would absolutely love our shirt sponsor (whoever it is) to do something like this. How smart do them shirts look compared with the Derby one.

Re: HTFC - Home Kit
I'm not sure I agree they have been 'used by' Paddy Power. Both sides get something out of it and I'm sure HTFC went into it with eyes open.

I know the FA have rules, but come on! Hopefully Huddersfield will appeal and they will accept to drop the charge based on circumstances

Re: HTFC - Home Kit
If it was an "official" game then there would be no argument against the fine, but it was a friendly game, after which the shirts were auctioned for charity.
If they are fined then I'd be surprised if Paddy Power don't pay it seeing as it was their idea

I suspect/hope you're right. It was a clever piece of marketing, either way.If they are fined then I'd be surprised if Paddy Power don't pay it seeing as it was their idea
Re: HTFC - Home Kit
Just amazing marketing. Imagine not sponsoring a shirt for a season and getting this much coverage.
I even forget the names of the companies Burnley have had over the last few years.

Re: HTFC - Home Kit
I expect PP will pay this fine for them to further the positive marketing image
