Success in the market

[Dusic]

I know there is an element of frustrstion about the lack of clear improved quality in the starting XI, but one area where we have bossed this window is the wholesale and partner market.

We have got Etonridge over the line, a brand we had been tracking for a long time and who chose us despite lots of competition which bodes well.

We have also signed a deal with Home Leisure Direct who were sought after a few years back and could be a shrewd deal although only a one year deal so hopefully we have an extend option incase they really cook:

The one that probably gets the most tongues wagging is the deal agreed with 2cl to officially sign as Venue Security Technology Supplier - from a quick browse on some other club forums there is a lot of jealousy about that deal, mostly because their digital radios are top notch - and a few clubs seem lacking in that area.

Hopefully a few more to come in before the end of the window and look forward to hearing more about these at the Phil Parsons fireside chat with Adam Blackmore next week.

Catering and radio have been the keys to our success since the Lowe days. Good to see the club not losing sight of the infrastructure, distracted by more ephemeral things on the pitch.
