Great sponsor for a professional football team..Takeaway fast food chain!

Must be worth more money than Buymobiles which in the grand scheme of things is what the club needs to move forward.

Probably the daftest sponsor we've ever had. At least it's not morally abhorrent like Wonga... or Maxwell

Another troubling issue is that their logo colours seem to be red and white.

Forget going all the way down the steps for a pie, you could just phone just eat and a fella rides a scooter up the stand with a donner kebab for you!!!

Genius!

I think derby will be sued by Chris martin's lawyers. To place him and his moobs into a tight white shirt with 'just eat' on it is tantamount to public ridicule.

This is not fair, let's start a petition for Chris. We can get this shirt sponsor changed to "JUST chEAT'"

Please God: let there be a 'free season ticket with every £1000 spent on kebabs' deal with this.

Double Red, talk about glass houses, who was your best player last season. It wasn't slim Reid by any chance.

Fawaz is having a new logo on Forest shirts. it will say in arabic Promotion Haram.

This is either genius on behalf of the sponsor knowing the type of person who watches football or the biggest marketing error since Ayds slimming biscuits. Can you imagine the FBs buying a shirt with Just Eat written on it.

I will buy a shirt on Sunday, one with Buy Mobiles on, half price at least.

Still wearing my Derbyshire Building Society shirts - the lettering doesn't fall away as quickly as your typical promotion challenge.

Speaking of regularity again, haven't Forest got their regular monthly winding-up petition this Monday?

I'll get one sent over in large, it will fit my muscly frame just as snugly as the current one does

Why can't we have the Marstons Pedigree shirts back. A product I could identify with. I have been wearing the Bombardier Shirt but the letters have faded now.

I prefer to think of Reidy as "solid". But I take your point.

We could have a championship 11 fat boy team.

Paddy kenny in goal
Chunky bucko the back
Reidy pulling the strings in midfield
Martin and Danny ings up front.

Other candidates?

We could get McDonald's or twix to sponsor them. Or crazy idea get "just eat" as that would be funny as fu....

But alas it's Too late some moron already taken that one!

Spart. If the previous sponsor is anything to go by, it's good business. During Buy Mobiles 4yr association with the rams their turnover went from £30M-£120M

Just shows the powers of being associated with such a massive club.

With the media's obsession with "healthy" eating this could be as successful as Gregg's contrary advertising campaign. After all most people who go to football matches don't need a great deal of encouragement to buy pies, kebabs etc.

Sub optimal, at best. That said, just eat are a publicly traded, 'proper' company, valued at a few hundred million quid iirc, so it's not as rubbish as it may first appear. Agreed we're gonna suffer a lot of stick for it though.

Personally I'm still in my Derbyshire building society kit (the away version actually, nicer) but will probably get myself a cheap buymobiles before this monstrosity turns up. I ask intrigued as to whether we'll get a more established kit manufacturer though, if the kappa deal has expired?

Who cares about what trademark is on the shirt. They are all made in the same sweat shop in Bangladesh.

I am assuming Just Eat have offered us big money for this and taken the gamble that we are going to be promoted. Otherwise it would have (note for morons, it is not would of) been better to wait to see if we were promoted when we could ask for higher sponsorship money.

.... Just Eat vs Just Tweet

You know it's not good when some posters are remembering with fondness, buy mobiles.net.

Guess I'll just have to buy some tape for it, or eat a few pies.

Has Chris martins transfer request gone in yet?

I can see him playing the galaxy with "herbal life" bouncing up and down on his moobs!

posted on 10/5/14

I would assume then DR that you would prefer any of the current Forest strikers (I use the term loosely) to Chris Martin.

Martin was available at the beginning of last season but in his wisdom your manager chose Darius Henderson instead. Always had an eye for a decent player did old Billy.

....or is it just a ploy to get rid of the existing stock of buymobiles.net shirts....

posted on 10/5/14

No Martin has been quality, credit where its due. I do think he is a bit of a cheating diver. But I would be glad of the 20 odd goals he has scored.

A bit like you would be improved by Reid but we don't make him play in tight white Lycra with "just eat" emblazoned on it.

To be fair Martin has fired your promotion push and for last 2 months I have grudgingly accepted for this year only, you have the best team. Martin is part of that, but he is a fat, horrible cheating c..t!

I would imagine most of these shirts will be sold over the festive period as presents. Can you imagine being 5 - 0 down to an andre wisdom hat trick at anfield on sky's headline fixture. The camera pans to the poor derby faithful marooned at the bottom of the prem. Coming in to view are the in breds and wildlings. All of them wearing their brand new sparkly just eat tops having had one too many mince pies!

Give me brentford away rather than that. Just eat!

Just Eat is a huge company, at least we've all heard of it previously, rather than buy mobiles, which no-one had ever heard of before we were sponsored by them.
Although I'm going to be honest, the buymobiles sponsor was starting to grow on me, at least it was the right colours
