Coventry City have signed a new two-year sponsorship deal with STATsports – a leading international sports performance analysis company.
The Irish-based firm works with a host of leading football clubs including Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Barcelona as well as the German FA, the Rugby Football Union and several leading Rugby Union and Rugby League clubs.
The company provides a huge range of fitness data and performance monitoring through its software system. Players wear a small Viper pod during training and practice games which measures and transmits the data, which can either be monitored live or collected and analysed by coaching staff.
That data can be used to monitor individual players’ progress and also compare them to other squad members.
The STATsports name and logo will be carried on the Sky Blues away kit and on the back of the home and away shorts.
The deal will see Steven Pressley and his staff have use of the full range of STATsports software and equipment.
Steve Waggott, the club’s development director, said: “This is a major commercial agreement which will give Steven and his staff access to some of the most cutting-edge fitness and performance monitoring services available in sport.
“STATsports work with some of the leading teams across a range of sports and really allow managers and coaches to have all the information to build a fully comprehensive fitness programme, and monitor the physical performance of their players.
“Steven is a very progressive manager who constantly strives to use every advantage, and he identified STATsports services as a key component of his programme.
“This deal has allowed us to sign this partnership agreement – something that ordinarily would be way beyond our budget. We are very much looking forward to the start of what we believe will be a very fruitful relationship with STATsports.”
STATsports founder and managing director Alan Clarke said: “"We are delighted to begin our partnership with Coventry City Football Club, a club with an iconic and fantastic history. As part of our relationship it will be our privilege to supply our technology to the club from first team down to academy level.”

So are they sponsoring the home shirt as well or are they trying to get a different sponsor for that?

So are they actually paying to sponsor us as that makes it sound like they've given us some freebies in return for having their name on the (away) shirt. Hope it's just the way the article has been phrased.
isn't it a good thing? personally given the choice of a shirt without a sponsor for £40 and one with for £30 I'd pay the extra, (not now obviously because I'm not giving them my money at least until we are back in Coventry)

Actually I'd be quite happy about that. Benefits the team but no money for greedy hedge funds

That was me
why would you wait so you could potentially advertise a random company across your chest? You got lucky and this logo is alright (although still draws the eye and dominates the shirt), but you could have had a bright yellow and red Chuppa Chups lolly sticker or something to ruin the great looking kit.

Wonder if they'll let the fans who've already forked out for the shirt get the printing done for free? Would be reasonable I think, atleast gives them a choice.
I quite like it without the sponsor tbh, although the sponsor they have does look alright on it too. Colouring isn't too much for a white shirt

Like it to be a proper replica of what's worn on the pitch, that's all.

Is this the clearest sign yet
Is this the clearest sign yet we are coming home very soon- Would a prominent sponsor sign a deal tonight for two years for a club playing out of there city in front of a few hundred fans with very little positive publicity- or would they sign a deal knowing we are going back to the Ricoh and going to sell thousands of shirts with there logo on and the attraction of a big club which we really are

It depends what they paid but unfortunately I see it the opposite way, if the club have just taken a sponsor where they are being paid in kit and not hundreds of k money then it suggests they don't think we are coming back anytime soon. Without knowing the details though we can't be sure either way but it certain reads like we are getting kit not money.
