SNOWY Posted 30 April, 2012 Share Posted 30 April, 2012 I thought that we had 3 year deal with app3 or whatever they are called. I like the current sponsor as you hardly notice it on the shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romsaint Posted 30 April, 2012 Share Posted 30 April, 2012 Can't see NC missing an opportunity to increase revenue and get a stadium sponsor. Spoke to someone yesterday who says that aap3 have 2 years to run and the deal was based on which league we are in and now that we are in the Premier the cost of sponsorship has increased dramatically.

Wes Tender Posted 30 April, 2012 Share Posted 30 April, 2012 I heard that Jobsite are looking for another football club to sponsor. As their image has taken a bad knock because of their association with the DFCBs they need to be associated with a club with a good public image. It has done irreparable damage being associated with a club that has been owned by gun-runners, Russian mafia money-launderers, fake-sheiks, Hong Kong loan-sharks, etc.; people who are not averse to cheating the taxman and robbing local charities and screwing small businesses. Now they need to redress the balance by sponsoring a club renowned for its family friendly image, the honesty and integrity of its current owners. Why, even the club's nickname "The Saints" has the right sub-conscious connections for a business wishing to clean up its image after association with the cesspit that is Pompey.

mancsaint Posted 30 April, 2012 Share Posted 30 April, 2012 The deal was for 3 years, and I was surprised how little it was when I heard, something like 300k for League 1 going up to 600k for the Prem.

Rebel Posted 30 April, 2012 Share Posted 30 April, 2012 I don't think aap3 budgeted for promotion - I expect they'd be happy to be replaced and drop to a second tier sponsor - maybe of the academy or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrant Posted 30 April, 2012 Share Posted 30 April, 2012 The aap3 deal was for 3 years and was agreed at various levels depending on the division we're in. If we'd not been promoted last season, it would have been around £200k in League One, it was around £500k in the Championship this season and will be around £1m in the Premier League next season.

VectisSaint Posted 30 April, 2012 Share Posted 30 April, 2012 Not sure its a rumour, I seem to recall Cortese said some time ago that we had a major sponsor lined up when we got to the PL, but maybe it happened a little sooner than he expected. I suspect that someone with some time on their hands could dig up a thread that contains this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 30 April, 2012 Share Posted 30 April, 2012 Last time I checked contracts were legally binding. we already have shirt manufacturers for another year, shirt sponsors for another 2 years, and no current stadium naming rights. I don't doubt that we'll get HUNDREDS of new sponsors next season, but they'll all be around the pitch, on the big screens, in the corporate boxes, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodles34 Posted 30 April, 2012 Share Posted 30 April, 2012 But would anyone object to "the liebherr stadium"? yes, in principle, football clubs are football clubs, they will always be around longer than anyone else (cept that lot down the road hopefully), and the name of where they play should reflect the fact that no one person (or corporate company) is bigger than the club (no matter what they might have done to help) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
