Guided Missile Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Can I recommend that any small firms out there, consider sponsoring a player? £700 gets you his signed shirt, two tickets to the end of season Players Award Dinner, logo on the big screen, etc. etc.... It was a grand last season and I think, even in a recession, it's worth considering. Email Danielle at dlewis@saintsfc.co.uk and she'll sort something out, I'm sure. Interestingly, this morning I received a letter informing us that we can sponsor Marek Saganowski again this season and the club have heard nothing about him going anywhere. If we can keep him and Rasiak up front for the season, I think we'll do alright...
beancounter saint Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Interesting. But what happens if you sponsor a player and he then leaves? Do you get your cash back (I'm guessing not!) or do you get to have another one in his place or none of the above?

Do you get your cash back (I'm guessing not!) or do you get to have another one in his place or none of the above? You get first choice on another player not yet sponsored, or a new player. My back up choice is young Pulis...
beancounter saint Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Fair enough but be prepared for disappointment as think Pulis is likely to be in demand.

ladysaint Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Could we "the saints web forum" sponsor a player between us say someone like Lloyd James or Davis.
SFC Forever Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Why would Pulis bring callers beckoning? He has just finished a year out injured and by all accounts was not at the races in his appearance last week. I, personally hope that he can do well for us this season.
once_bitterne Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 .... Did you not bother to read any of above posts!
krissyboy31 Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Could we "the saints web forum" sponsor a player between us say someone like Lloyd James or Davis. Is there any player that more than 10% of TSW actually rate?
Guided Missile Posted 15 July, 2009 Author Posted 15 July, 2009 Could we "the saints web forum" sponsor a player between us say someone like Lloyd James or Davis. Good Idea....then have a prize draw for the dinner tickets and the signed shirt...
Clapham Saint Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Interestingly, this morning I received a letter informing us that we can sponsor Marek Saganowski again this season and the club have heard nothing about him going anywhere. If we can keep him and Rasiak up front for the season, I think we'll do alright... Did she sound genuine or just a sales person saying what she thinks you want to hear trying to get you to renew? Interesting if it's the former... Rasiak and Saga would be a formidable L1 front line.
stevegrant Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Did she sound genuine or just a sales person saying what she thinks you want to hear trying to get you to renew? Interesting if it's the former... Rasiak and Saga would be a formidable L1 front line. A pretty apathetic front line as well
Johnny Bognor Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Good Idea....then have a prize draw for the dinner tickets and the signe shirt Or a charity auction.....
Guided Missile Posted 15 July, 2009 Author Posted 15 July, 2009 Is there any player that more than 10% of TSW actually rate? That's enough. 10% of over 8,000 registered users donate a quid via paypal, list the available players and then run a poll...
Clapham Saint Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 A pretty apathetic front line as well If Rasiak can be a r sed (and it sounds as though he was in the ast friendly) he could top score this league.

Clapham Saint Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Just a sales person?!?!? Danielle Lewis is the club's Sponsorship Executive, FFS... As maybe however, from your post it was implied that you had been speaking to her with regard to sponsering a player. She was trying to sell something to you and so was acting as a sales person... Any chance of an answer to the original question?
ladysaint Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 That's enough. 10% of over 8,000 registered users donate a quid via paypal, list the available players and then run a poll... Excellent idea lets get this going, need not be a £1 give what you want min of £1, run the poll until the 1st August, presuming that will be sufficient time and take it from there.
stevegrant Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 If Rasiak can be a r sed (and it sounds as though he was in the ast friendly) he could top score this league. Well he certainly didn't look as though he was at Bournemouth, but that's the only friendly I've managed to get to so far. If we give him a new deal, I think Stern John will be a better bet for top scorer.
SO16_Saint Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Excellent idea lets get this going, need not be a £1 give what you want min of £1, run the poll until the 1st August, presuming that will be sufficient time and take it from there. where do i sign???

Guided Missile Posted 15 July, 2009 Author Posted 15 July, 2009 Any chance of an answer to the original question? The question was "Did she sound genuine?" The answer was given by the fact that I posted what she said. I must admit, I do have the reputation for being taken in by bullsh !t, so I can understand your concerns...
um pahars Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 You get first choice on another player not yet sponsored, or a new player. My back up choice is young Pulis... I presume Pulis' sponsorship doesn't come wiith any strings attached, like , say, extra money for appearacnces???
docker-p Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Could we "the saints web forum" sponsor a player between us say someone like Lloyd James or Davis. Good idea, and then we can send 19c and Mole along together for the end of season shindig.:smt021
Guided Missile Posted 15 July, 2009 Author Posted 15 July, 2009 I presume Pulis' sponsorship doesn't come wiith any strings attached, like , say, extra money for appearances??? Apparently not. The main reason he is my back up, is I expect to do very well on EBay, with his signed shirt, thank you very much...
Clapham Saint Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Well he certainly didn't look as though he was at Bournemouth, but that's the only friendly I've managed to get to so far. If we give him a new deal, I think Stern John will be a better bet for top scorer. I didn't go but read some reports of the last game saying that he looked as though he was back to his old self. Awesome if true. Obviously he could have just been trying to impress a watching scout... We'll see against Ajax I guess. Given the games and motivation I think Rasiak, Saga and John all have the ability to do very very well in L1
buctootim Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Good idea, and then we can send 19c and Mole along together for the end of season shindig.:smt021 Great, they could do the cabaret - three rounds of hand to handbag combat with a goose stepping theme.
um pahars Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Apparently not. The main reason he is my back up, is I expect to do very well on EBay, with his signed shirt, thank you very much... As in it will be worth something, as it will be the only shirt ever allocated to him!!!!!
um pahars Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Good idea, and then we can send 19c and Mole along together for the end of season shindig.:smt021 With all the multiple identities he could have a table of his own (and still manage to antagonise his alter ego's)!!!!!!

If we can keep him and Rasiak up front for the season, I think we'll do alright... That's pretty good value, my previous firm did Matchball Sponsorship v Bristol C a couple of years back, cost us about £1500 then which we thought was good value, considering you got a table of 10 in the Channon, ad in the programme and big screen ads..
trousers Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Excellent idea lets get this going, need not be a £1 give what you want min of £1, run the poll until the 1st August, presuming that will be sufficient time and take it from there. Superb idea. And for that reason....I'm in
Block 5 Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Excellent idea lets get this going, need not be a £1 give what you want min of £1, run the poll until the 1st August, presuming that will be sufficient time and take it from there. This is a great idea. See what can be raised between now and August. Run a poll in tandem. We could possibly sponsor more than one player. Signed shirts and end of season dinner tickets could be auctioned for Saints in the Community.
ladysaint Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Admins anyway this can be done via the site and with the poll as well, thanks. I can help if you need any.
dubai_phil Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Good idea, but think the quid is optimistic. Perhaps a system a bit like the forum match where we sign up and then send the money when we know how many we have. Pal Pal from here would cost me more than a quid anyway so if it doubled in price would still be a bargain
dubai_phil Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 And think how many hours of fun we will have fighting over who to sponsor - lol!
Thedelldays Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 And think how many hours of fun we will have fighting over who to sponsor - lol! I dont think it matters too much by the time the mnoney is raised then the player we want mught have been taken alraedy...maybe..raise the money, get the available players and have a poll that would last, say, 5 days..?
trousers Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Could we sponsor Strachan or is it just players? (assuming he becomes manager of course...nudge, nudge...)
ozzmeister Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Excellent idea lets get this going, need not be a £1 give what you want min of £1, run the poll until the 1st August, presuming that will be sufficient time and take it from there. I would be interested - should a sepatae thread be started for this - if someone bid £10 would they get 10 prize draws?
jam Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 With all the multiple identities he could have a table of his own (and still manage to antagonise his alter ego's)!!!!!! About which of the two are you referring?
Cabrone Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Interestingly, this morning I received a letter informing us that we can sponsor Marek Saganowski again this season and the club have heard nothing about him going anywhere. If we can keep him and Rasiak up front for the season, I think we'll do alright... Agree but would rather see John\Rasiak up front. It probably won't happen but if we could keep all 3 then the forward line is looking v.good. Just need a battling CH and 1\2 combative midfielders and I think we've got a decent looking team.
um pahars Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 About which of the two are you referring? Better open up the Itchen Concourse as well and put tables down there (I'm going to get killed for this LOL)
trousers Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Is the thinking that we'll use the existing SWF Paypal account for this or a new one?
RonManager Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 In order to make it easier to choose, what about a '1st team' blanket sponsorship? Or would that be muscling in on flybe's patch?
Give it to Ron Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Surely the one player we would all happily sponsor is KD...loyalty etc....plus we know he will be here next season.
stevegrant Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Given that the amount required is variable depending on the player(s) chosen, how about: 1. Contributions are variable, ranging from £1 to a maximum of, say, £50. For every £1 contributed, you get one entry into the draw for the seats at the end of season dinner and the signed shirt. 2. A deadline is set for contributions, after which we then ascertain which players are a) available, and b) affordable within the money received. A poll can then be run for a few days to choose the player(s) sponsored. Thoughts?

NB I would not be interested in going to the end of season dinner for two reasons a. not my thing b. cannot guarantee i could be around. I guess i could put myself forward to the draw and donate the winnings to someone else..but the crux of it..I am in
