New Shirt Sponsor 17:55 - Aug 19 with 2336 views | hobo | For the first time in God knows how many seasons, we finally won't have a betting company gracing our shirts. The official site has announced that Swansea University will be our shirt sponsor for the forthcoming season. A step in the right direction I say! | ![](/images/avatars/10747.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Birch said there was a desire to move away from betting sponsors when he was appointed. But it seems it's far better to assume the club is sh*t. | ![](/images/avatars/23858.gif) |

The University has a great deal of interaction and financial dealings with the club. Some obvious like sponsorship of a stand and some not so obvious as in ownership of the training ground. It is always possible that some deals are inflated and some reduced for tax implications. | ![](/images/avatars/9155.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
New Shirt Sponsor on 09:53 - Aug 20 with 2049 views | AnotherJohn | I'm encouraged by this deal, which strengthens a cooperative relationship that involves more than just sponsorship. I just hope the university can maintain a good income stream in difficult times. One area where I wonder if more could be done is a route into HE for some of the more academically-able players. This could help those who don't quite make the grade and possibly also some nearing retirement who want a change of direction. The university seems strong in Sports Science for example, and Guillem Bauza is an ex-player who did well in bioscience, | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

With the lack of foreign students expected for the coming year, the income of the university is going to suffer a big loss of income, so I can't imagine that this deal is going to be as large as past deals. I wonder how many clubs won't have any sponsor for next season ( except possibly a charity ?) | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
