Quiz - Who was our Shirt Sponsor in ..... (1 Viewer)

Happy_Martian · Aug 30, 2023

Forum is quiet due to the holidays and a lack of actual news to report so thought I'd have a go at a quick quiz for you all.

We are known to be the first club to have an "unofficial" first team shirt sponsorship with the Talbot T shirt in the 1980s. And we haven't had many due to multiple year contracts. But testing your memory (and not Google or Bing), who was the shirt sponsor in :

1: 2005/6 (Home and away shirts)

2: 1984/85 (Home shirt)

3: 1998/99 (Home shirt)

4: 1998/99 (Away shirt)

5: 2008/09 (Home shirt)

6: 2008/09 (Away/Third shirt)

7: 1994/95 (Goalkeeper shirt)

8: 2020/21 (Home shirt)

9: 2019/20 (Third Two-Tone shirt)

10: 2015/16 (Away shirt)

Unlike Grendel's Christmas quiz, while I would like to, this is not being run in aid of any charity or with prizes. If you wish to donate to your favoured charity, please do and your prize will be the built-in satisfaction of helping a good cause.

All answers have been checked using online sources so are deemed to be <5% accurate (ie. don't shoot me if the info is wrong ) And if this fails, I promise this will be my first and last attempt.

The years merge into each other. I think of 2009 as only being a couple of years ago.

1. Cassidy?
2. Tallon?
3. Subaru
4. Isuzu
5. Cassidy again?
6.stadia arena thing
7. Peugeot (pretty certain we didn’t have separate sponsorship for keepers)
8. Boyle sports
9. Allsop & Allsop
10. Stat soccer?

Missing Glazepta and City Link, Midrepro and The Children’s charity thing.

Correct. 9/10.

And I felt putting the shirts in season order would make it too easy. So the first respondent gets almost all of them anyway. D'oh!

Yes, it was.

Besides Birmingham (BoyleSports) when was the last time we played someone with the same shirt sponsor?

Without borrowing our kit!

Happy_Martian · Aug 30, 2023

I'm guessing that it wasn't 1985/86 when we had Elliots Car Accessories as sponsor

Sorry Brighton, no it wasn't.

Didn’t we have a one off game (first Ricoh Return maybe ?) when we had a Betting company on the shirt… something like 888 betting or Fun8 or some such shite?

I'll give you 9 points as your answer for 10 is close enough, just spelt wrongly. Other quizmasters may have marked you down for that but I knew what you meant

Razzle Dazzle Dean Gordon · Aug 30, 2023

1) Cassidy
2) Glazepta
3) Subaru
4) Isuzu
5) Citylink
6) Stadiarena
7) Peugeot
8) Boylesports
9) Allsopp
10) Allsopp (but having seen answers above is Stasport or something like that?)

8/10

Q10: thanks for your honesty. It did get marked down based on the initial answer as it is the other one mentioned.

Sorry, some of it is not too clear

So is it the 1994/95 Goalkeeper shirt that is stumping people? Thinking its odd you'd specify the GK shirt?!

Alkhen, in your case, it was your guess for Q2 that let you down, which has admittedly baffled a few.

And from my research, some shirts (home,away, third, GK) did have different sponsors for the same season. I did put some of these variants in but due to the shortage of sponsors over the last 40 years ??!!, I didn't want to leave out the GK or third shirt so these were inserted even if the sponsor was the same as the home. Sorry, it could be called cheating but it adds to the mystery

Ah ok then makes sense!

So is it:
1: 2005/6 (Home and away shirts) Cassidy Group?

2: 1984/85 (Home shirt) Glazepta?

3: 1998/99 (Home shirt) Subaru

4: 1998/99 (Away shirt) Isuzu

5: 2008/09 (Home shirt) Cassidy Group?

6: 2008/09 (Away/Third shirt) Stadiarena?

7: 1994/95 (Goalkeeper shirt) Peugeot?

8: 2020/21 (Home shirt) Boylesports

9: 2019/20 (Third Two-Tone shirt) Allsop & Allsop

10: 2015/16 (Away shirt) Statsports?

4 Sky Blue shirts before the Jimmy Hill era and Sky Blue stripes for 7 years from 1915/ 22. Obviously because of the first world war.
