Home kit

Help the Holmesdale Online sponsor a player's kit for the forthcoming 2007/08 Championship season.

For the two previous years, we have sponsored JOBI MCANUFF’s home shirt.

We need to raise £350 before the end of June. Once this money has been raised, we can either renew the kit sponsorship for JOBI or go in for a different player.

Shirt sponsorship goes on general sale at the end of June at an inflated rate of £375.

We can change the sponsorship to any other player who is currently not sponsored for the £350 (or £600 for both home and away shirts).

Should we sponsor JOBI again and he leaves the club, we are given first refusal on any unsponsored or new players.

Once the funds have been raised, will be doing a draw to win a Crystal Palace shirt signed by the complete 2007-8 squad, which you will receive in time for Christmas.

The usual message will also appear next to the player in the matchday programme - you can view that from any programme purchased last season.

So how will all this work? Well we need to raise £350. If we raise more than this, the remaining money will be donated to the 'Geoff Thomas Foundation'. However, if £600 is raised, both the home and away shirts can be sponsored.

You can purchase an initial ticket for £10.00. This entitles you to one ticket for the shirt draw. You can purchase additional tickets for £5.00.

There is no limit to how many £5.00 tickets that you can purchase. Every additional £5.00 ticket entitles you to have another go in the draw.

Remember, the more tickets you buy, the better the chance of winning the signed shirt and money (potentially) gets donated to charity.

HOL Member JayT has kindly offered to organise the HOL kit sponsorship.

Payment can be made the following ways:

• Paypal transfer to James.Taylor@genesys.com
• Bank transfer to Mr James Taylor - account details can be provided by using the private messaging facility to send a message to JayT.
• Payment by cheque to Mr James Taylor - address or meeting place can be arranged by PM to JayT.
• Cash - only if handed to James Taylor in person. Do not send cash through the post.

You will need to vote for the player that you wish to get sponsored. Do this by stating the name of the player on the details section on the bank transfer/paypal transfer, write it on the back of the cheque or just tell JayT (if funds are delivered in person).

The player with the most votes will be sponsored. If this is not possible, we will move onto the player with the second highest vote count.

Any questions, PM JayT or ask on the messageboard
