I thought this top was sponsored by the free press.

I have a free press version. I wonder what it's worth?

Not sure if it's a special edition but it has a built-in Wok on the front.

I have the European Car Rental shirt. This was the second season with the same basic shirt design (remember those days?) I believe they started the season with no sponsor on the front - Ian Atkins era.

I seem to remember the away kit was solid green, they never really got to wear the seaweed one much as it clashed more than the home kit when other teams wore white.

Seems a bit expensive, £40 postage as well for a shirt, crikey.

I think the youth teams played in the same kit but with different sponsors. I’ve got this photo of when I played and it’s definitely not the free press sponsor

We were under 16s here I think, so around 1996. Just as everything was starting to go wrong, quite a few left and went other clubs but didn’t make a career. We were all donny lads, had a good team remember beating the likes of Crewe with Seth Johnson and Kenny Lunt, sheff u with Curtis woodhouse and Lee morris, when we left they brought in quite a few from the northeast such as Gary messer, mark Donnelly, who all played in the infamous season we went down in 1997.
One lad on the front row on that photo is Rob debenham who also played in the first team that season.

I think I have a youth shirt in my collection somewhere. Thinks its from 1992 and it's sponsored by Wilkinsons (or Wilko's as most folk know it). Someone offered me 200 quid for it a couple of year back, but declined.

I will try to get a photo up.

Yes mate,
I remember that one, we definitely wore that shirt at one age group. That’s the one I can remember most vividly
