They've been the de facto national team of Catalonia since the Spanish civil war (and possibly before that too) but I've never heard anything about them receiving money directly from the Catalan taxpayer. I'd be interested to read about it if anybody can show they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested to read about it if anybody can show they have. It could be bullshit tbh. I remember reading it somewhere a few years back. Let me see if I can find something. If not then it's bullshit most likely... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 There's a lot of stuff about them receiving tax breaks and state funding but nothing specially about a percentage of tax going to the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Hoping for a round collar next season, fed up of shirt collars and v-necks. Something like the second Nike kit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlwaysAVFC Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 5 hours ago, The_Rev said: Villa? I believe Acorns was just an attempt to drive the value of the space on the front of our shirts up. Cause a bit of a stir in popular media then maybe get a few million quid extra next time the space is up for sale. I doubt it paid off financially but I can see what they were trying. Acorns was at the time Man Utd et al were signing massive sponsorship deals. Villa couldn't get anywhere near those deals but thought they could. So a year with acorns and build 'the brand' was thought to be better (gambled) than being tied to a sponsor for less money for a few years. Proud for it to be on our shirts and great for Acorns but it was a business decision which was probably wrong, not just an act of kindness. That said it would be nice if it could be our second sponsor as I'm sure it's not massive revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interesting if ours was similar, with the blue going across the top of the shirt in a similar fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah right. I know real Madrid are (or used to be) part owned by the government, something to do with the team being like a national asset,so have never been short on cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted May 8, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) I said it in it's own thread, but the new badge, although subtle, is definitely a big improvement. Particularly the white border, which looks much better. Note that lmarsha hasn't included that on his shirts.
