The Sharks: Central FC Thread

[Jack Horner]

To many wolves in sheep clothing right here on this site.

Central FC has had great support from socawarriors.net website and yet they decided to take their business to wired868 and be a sponsor with them.

Flex, be careful, there are wolves among us, not Sharks, Kevin wants volenteer to work for Central FC free meanwhile he's not working for free and use the socawarriors.net to get his info and news out.

I do not care who vex with my comment, but I am right. And they have the nerve to talk about Jack.

Jack will rise again and the world will beg for him to come back and I hope he says NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course I get paid. And as I clearly stated, we have no budget for additional staff. Hence, if people wish to volunteer, we would be grateful.

See, unlike a certain government minister who you seem very close to, we don't have to pay people to help us. People want to help because they believe in what we're doing. As long as we respect them, involve them, they enjoy being a part of something exciting.  And, of course, as things get better financially, there may well be salaries or stipends.

As for Wired 868 vs SW.Net, there is no issue. Central F.C. have assisted Lasana in obtaining sponsors, so in gratitude, our logo is on the site. Unfortunately, we can't afford to buy a paper to get our views heard.

I doubt if we'll have replica jerseys this season. I know this will attract criticism, but we literally can't afford to purchase extra shirts that don't sell. It's our aim to develop the relationship with Adidas to solve the issue.
Another problem is the taxes payable when the shirts reach T&T. The next problem is that we have to import them, print the logos etc and then export them to those overseas, while keeping them affordable. I imagine we can offer shirts at around TT$300, which isn't bad, but we have to create demand first and will have to build in shipping costs. Then there's the issue about how many to order and in which sizes.

We really do want people wearing the shirts, but it's just too early for us to resolve these issues at the moment.

so wait, it don't have no local jersey manufacturers..big Carnival costume making country, and we can't make some football replica jerseys, or quality football uniforms for that matter..what, the breeze might take it on the stage ??.mine doh have to be no adidas or no brand...as a matter of fact I woulda settle for a mzChaguanas seamstress....if adidas is not yet sponsoring you, don't use adidas..it must have local jersery ppl, provides work and maybe support...u saying the quality that bad  or non-existent? Of Course i understand that is not the priority now, take yuh time..but unless brand supporting, later for brand, that goes for product & ppl, outside your present area of operation.
I'm sure yáll know best, handle the direct club stuff 1st...we outsiders can wait...ps: don't sell yuh jersey at no cost, should be a markup..put me on the list anyway...

Not good quality you getting local. Some grimey looking thing

We actually looked at this closely. We even thought about approaching the Govt for subsidies. The problem is quite simple: the material is too expensive to import. By the time you've added in labour and created stock, the items become too expensive. In order for the local manufacturer to sell the items at a price that the market (which is mainly schools, youth groups etc) can afford, they have to buy in lesser quality cloth than most adults would like. Hence, buying overseas. China and India's labour costs are so low and they manufacture in such large quantities, it's impossible for local manufacturers to compete.

thanks for now guys...I thought the material would have been the cheapest commodity, considering the amount of cloth importers/traders  we always had in the country. The garment industry has always been some measure of control in our local manufacturing however.  interesting...i was looking for the labour..
Mohair used to rule(my time)...now is breathable fabric..found some chines manufacturers offering 8-10 US a uniform set..we should hookup the masmen in the offseason to create a yarn or 2, yes

If nobody buys local, then how are they to improve their quality I say purchase from the local suppliers and ask for better quality or design it and give them the specs. that you want.

I hear you. Problem is (and theres always a problem, right?) is that the cloth is bought from Panama and the quantity is such that it would just be too expensive. Maybe the manufacturer would take a chance, but they are a hand to mouth small business and probably couldn't make the investment.

But should this not be subsidized the same way Carnival Mass Bands get help to bring in raw materials ??

I didn't know about a subsidy, but this is what I was wondering, I know for a fact, quality material would come in for Carnival...I know for a fact the majority of Mass Bands do not make money or operate at a loss, yet  can't get quality raw material for viable production & market at a reasonable cost? Like it cheaper to get guns ?

At the open trials, these were the players selected. Looks like "Not-from-Central FC"? can join the likes of "Not-from-Man City"!

Sunshine, I try to help wherever I can, especially with people I like, so obviously, I wouldn't p*ss on you if you were on fire.  Don't talk about big mens business that you don't understand. Go play on the highway.

Just to add some fuel to this interesting debate - Central FC has negotiated to use Presentation College Chaguanas as their training base... Hon. Jack Warner's alma mata!

Considering the investment that He has made directly and indirectly over the last few years at the College, can we say that Central FC is using Minister Warner's facilities?
