Cascadia Saint Posted 9 May, 2014 Share Posted 9 May, 2014 Blah blah blah. The main reason I care about the sponsor is how it makes the shirt look. It's not a brand with a negative connotation like Wonga or dare I mention http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1553923-25-worst-club-sponsors-in-world-football/page/22 . And the logo itself is fairly subtle, like a lower case Sony. Definitely won't ruin a shirt. You lot are going to give yourselves (or each other) ulcers.

Barry Sanchez Posted 9 May, 2014 Share Posted 9 May, 2014 Looking at the sponsorship league table(above) you would very much doubt we've moved up at all despite our higher profile this season & and all the chat about focusing on commercial streams of income. Really hope I'm wrong & they have paid a large sum. Why not? We are 8th. Huge catchment area. New Stadium. England internationals. A new board exciting board. This is our time.

shurlock Posted 9 May, 2014 Share Posted 9 May, 2014 It matters as surely the club should be looking for more exposure and a more prestigious company? If they cant attract more then its worrying to say the least. How much is it worth? The Green Bay Packers don't even have a shirt sponsor - I'd say we're ahead of the game.

I'm not I know our standing, hence when the players and others go this year it will be a sad day but one I know will always happen, I only wished the board would be more honest about it, this speaks volumes pardon the pun.

saint si Posted 9 May, 2014 Share Posted 9 May, 2014 Great products. Growing fast based on reputation (wouldn't mind seeing some global revenue figures though). Not another payday loan company or online bookmaker. Simple text-baed logo that won't massively dominate the shirt. Saints branded consumer products on the way. Could be worse!

Saint_clark Posted 9 May, 2014 Share Posted 9 May, 2014 I'm not underwhelmed, disappointed or any of the other crap being posted. Just confused. If we're so big on increasing our commercial revenue now, then why haven't we gone for a bigger brand that can pump more money in? That is of course, unless we're getting ANOTHER sponsor for just the shirts and our main sponsor isn't included in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGTL Posted 9 May, 2014 Share Posted 9 May, 2014 Based on what specific information? My gut instinct. I'd be staggered if we have significantly improved from the AAP3 deal.

CB Fry Posted 9 May, 2014 Share Posted 9 May, 2014 They've achieved aim number one: not some chavvy gambling brand. Let's see if they've achieved number two - more money than the last lot.

Sour Mash Posted 9 May, 2014 Share Posted 9 May, 2014 Based on this, Saints should be looking for deals from £3m to £5m if they are seriously looking to close the gap commercially as Ralph Krueger stated he was aiming to...

Barry Sanchez Posted 9 May, 2014 Share Posted 9 May, 2014 You do realise sponsor doesn't mean buying the club right? Yes I d, its about prestige for us, not money, the big clubs get £20 Million and I am obviously not expecting that, I was expecting a large company, this is as a high League position we will ever finish and the best we can get is a speaker company?

dronskisaint Posted 9 May, 2014 Share Posted 9 May, 2014 From the sponsors perspective. The point of it to us should be about making the most money, which we don't appear very well at doing.

um pahars Posted 9 May, 2014 Share Posted 9 May, 2014 Lets not ve too harsh to Veho, shall we. Theyre a local company who obviously see benefit from sponsoring SFC, and the club must see reciprocal benefits. He directors are Saints fans too, so may well frequent this site Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk They do indeed frequent this site!! And they are a tremendous bunch of lads and lasses who have built this company up from nothing (and who have ambitions to compete with the big boys). From a Saints perspective, surely all that matters is that the deal is commercially sound and have to say I find it a bit strange how some people get all worked up about a sponsor.
