WBA v West Ham - No XL Logo on Shirts Today
West Ham are to play in plain shirts until we find a new sponsor. West Ham have also said that all XL signs and banners in the stadium will be removed before next weeks game at home.
BG apologised to all concerned that have suffered with XL, i presume that includes us fans who have to wear the shirt at games with the XL logo on it.
According to reports we only recieved £2.5m of the promised £7.5m sponsor deal.
It remains unclear whether it is realistic to expect the club to have found a new sponsor for the next match - a home game against Newcastle United on September 20th - which will be new boss Gianfranco Zola’s first fixture in full charge of the first XI.
Lets hope we have found a new sponsor by then or at least put Bobby Moores charity on the shirts until we do.

I think this is an excellent opportunity for the club to do something like Villa have done and Barcelona do very often. They should have the Bobby Moore charity on the shirts for the rest of the season. And when a new sponsor is found, maybe it should be a company that isn’t tied in to the finances of the club quite as much as XL was?

Totally agree with Biffo and James the author about the Bobby Moore charity on the shirt. what does West Ham have to lose by doing this before we play newcastle,
