They have Chang as shirt sponsor. There is a small logo on the right hand side of the shirt. A normal, big logo would hide the "giant" shown on the front of the shirt, so I`m guessing that`s why the logo is small.Brian Davis wrote:It doesn't seem Udon has secured a sponsor (at least one paying enough) to warrant the name on shirts.
I don`t know how much players can get paid in Div 2, but I will guess the foreigners (mostly Africans) get at least 30-40 thousand baht per month + accommodation.
In the last couple of seasons there has been many clubs who has struggled to pay their players in a short or longer time, in all divisions. Hopefully Udon`s players will still give 100% to win every game and to get promotion.
But if we look at promotion to Div 1, if UDFC can get there. The club wil have to pay a lot more for players wages, travels/accommodation to/from away games and much more. The tickets might get a little more expensive (from 50 baht now), but they can`t get many more people into the stadium than they do now (if they don`t make bigger stands), so they won`t make a lot more money in Div 1 on ticketsales. Hopefully there will be some good local (or national) sponsors if they get promotion, so they can manage economically in Div 1.
), opposite the current stand, it would be great for UDFC. Why they made it as it is now I have no idea. It`s not in use, and I can`t see other than schools using it in the future if UDFC ain`t moving there.
No further details. The Chang sponsorship is, apparently, a pittance. And our previous thoughts about salaries of Thai and foreign players seem accurate, BUT one player earns 100,000 baht, per month I guess. No reason to doubt the guy's word; indeed, he pointed out the player as he arrived for the game. That seems a ridiculous amount, if true. On income from gate money, he suggested a fair number of free tickets were given out. I can't confirm any of this, but the guy did appear to be in the know.
