RonManager 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? Sounds horrifically like a plan - careful now!

krissyboy31 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. Yes but I suspect Centerprise will be happy to continue with their sponsorship of KD and will get first shout.

thesaint sfc Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Good Idea....then have a prize draw for the dinner tickets and the signed shirt... I think this would be a brilliant idea.

trousers Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Taking this idea to another level, and thinking out loud somewhat, SWF hospitality box anyone....? No, I've no idea how it would work logistically either.....just one of my ill thought through ideas....

Saintjersey Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Could we have two seperate draws one for the tickets and the other for the signed shirt? Just might give people a greater chance of winning something.
stevegrant Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Could we have two seperate draws one for the tickets and the other for the signed shirt? Just might give people a greater chance of winning something. The way I see it working is that one drawn winner gets the two tickets to the dinner (i.e. them + 1), and a second drawn winner gets the shirt.

Hatch Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 For £700 we could probably buy the player never mind just sponsor them. I've seen them play.
trousers Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 For info....these are the only current squad players without sponsors...according to their profile page on http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/ProfilesDetail/0,,10280,00.html Wayne Thomas Grzegorz Rasiak Paul Wotton Lee Holmes Michael Poke Jack Boyle Andrej Pernecky Jamie White Oscar Gobern Jack Saville Anthony Pulis Lee Molyneux Ben Reeves Callum McNish
Saintjersey Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 But don't they present the shirt at the dinner? :smt102 I'm guessing that the person who went to the dinner would collect it on their behalf. I'm not sure who would pay for P&P though, maybe allow say £710 to be collected to make up for this?
ladysaint Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Is this for this season or based on last season's sponsorship.

trousers Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Is this for this season or based on last season's sponsorship. Last season's (I guess)....but I assume last season's sponsors get first refusal to renew for the coming season? Not sure TBH

trousers Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 What if we end up with more than £700? Buy tickets for a future game and donate to a local school or good cause perhaps?

trousers Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Standout candidate,. imo. I did wonder how long it would be before someone highlighted the aforementioned player
Saintjersey Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 What if we end up with more than £700? See my post above, that's what i reckon we should do IMO.
stevegrant Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 But don't they present the shirt at the dinner? :smt102 You may have uncovered a fatal flaw in my cunning plan... What if we end up with more than £700? Then we potentially have the option to sponsor more than one player, I guess. Any surplus could be given to charity or perhaps buy some corporate tickets and include them in the draw. Last season's (I guess)....but I assume last season's sponsors get first refusal to renew for the coming season? Not sure TBH Pretty sure last season's sponsors get first refusal - I remember when SaintsList used to sponsor a player back in the day, they always used to get asked if they wanted to carry on with the same player.

trousers Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Out of sheer idle curiosity, how much does a corporate box cost for the season? cheers
Johnny Bognor Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 (edited) Out of sheer idle curiosity, how much does a corporate box cost for the season? cheers The box could be sold like timeshare. The SWF box is divided into slots (perhaps based on seats per game). We can work out a cost per seat per game and that is a unit price. Say the box is £20,000 and there are 10 seats across 23 games, the cost per unit would be £86.96. You could then buy any multiple of units at a cost of £86.96 each. For the purposes of balance, the box would have to be located between Leon & Lawries and the Ex Directory boxes. Can you imagine that? Well worth £86.96 a go IMO (with all food and drink included). Oh, and everyone should have to wear a name badge with their Forum name on it. Actually, just checked and it is £23,920 +VAT (based on £104 pp +VAT x 23 games) Edited 15 July, 2009 by Johnny Bognor Got my original sums wrong

Johnny Bognor Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 (edited) would've preferred the original £43.48!! I doubt it will be £20k - more like £10k, so it may well end up being £43? I based the original amount on 46 games, but of course there are only 23 at home - sorry, my mistake. Here are the actual prices http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/MatchdayHospitality/0,,10280~1656557,00.html But the actual cost is £104 per person +VAT = £119.60 per seat per game (based on 10 people sharing across the season) There would be 230 seats to sell. Would 230 people stump up £120 each? Not sure myself, although I would be up for it. Edited 15 July, 2009 by Johnny Bognor

I know you get a ticket, 3 course meal, parking, programme, bar - but £120 per match seems a lot. Ticket - £25 meal - £25 Parking - £10 Programme - £3 Bar - £20 that comes to £83 - and that's over estimating, im sure??
Toadhall Saint Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 could be interesting on the week GM' date=' Alpine and Nineteen got to use it[/quote'] Mind you i'd pay to watch!

Here's what the OS says: Executive Boxes Executive Boxes are available to entertain groups of up to 10 guests, and boast panoramic views over the pitch. They have 10 superior balcony seats, an indoor banqueting table and are ideal for hosting a business function or private celebration. With a choice of catering packages, complimentary drinks and your own dedicated waiter or waitress, this inclusive package is perfect for either an informal buffet or fine dining occasion. Watch the game from your very own balcony seats or even from inside through the clear doors, this package promises the ultimate viewing experience.

Saintjersey Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 So mods can we make this a sticky in a seperate thread then?
St_Tel49 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... I'm up for it - £1 wouldn't even buy a half any more
Hatch Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 For the logo on the big screen, I reckon we should have a Miss Saints Web Forum competition. Winner gets her pic up there. I'll enter.
Tony Lynam Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 (edited) Hi John Your idea is one of common sense and loyalty. Perhaps you would like to confirm your willingness to participate in some form of a JV for a sponsorship deal and I'll put my money, again, where my mouth is and we can let bygones be bygones and mutually show our support for your Club? Good idea, and great to see some common sense approach, despite the fact that Mr Leibherr and his team may not be short of funds etc. Regards Tony Edited 16 July, 2009 by Tony Lynam
qwertySFC Posted 16 July, 2009 Posted 16 July, 2009 Fair enough but be prepared for disappointment as think Pulis is likely to be in demand. Already signed up I'm afraid
ooohTerryHurlock Posted 16 July, 2009 Posted 16 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. Great idea..... Ladysaint...... I'm in!!!! Where do we sign up then???
