Cascadia Saint Posted 9 May, 2014 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 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 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.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Don't really care tbh. Certainly not underwhelmed as that suggests I'd be excited by someone else. It's a sponsor Ffs.
mdearlove Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Veho make some very good stuff - ambitious, innovative and well thought of in the industry. Can't see a problem - seems like a good fit for us
Cascadia Saint Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 I keep missing the sponsorship figure that you are all quoting, how much is it?
Barry Sanchez Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 The Green Bay Packers don't even have a shirt sponsor - I'd say we're ahead of the game. They also are the most transparent of any NFL side by releasing their annual figures each year, have a look and see how much they make.
S-Clarke Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Plenty of OTT reactions here. Being 'underwhelmed' by a sponsor is quite funny really.
saint si Posted 9 May, 2014 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!
cambsaint Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Thank goodness it isn't a vile usurer or betting company that can impoverish, cause addiction and bring misery to many.
Barry Sanchez Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 From the point of exploitation of the poor I am very happy and I am sure the board took this into consideration when we went with the locally based speaker company.
Minty Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Plenty of OTT reactions here. Being 'underwhelmed' by a sponsor is quite funny really. Indeed - although it has nicely highlighted those who default to a negative reaction when they have little information to go on.
St Chalet Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Never heard of them. Then I never heard of AAP3 either. Suppose it's our level. That is kind of the point of sponsorship I believe.
Saints foreva Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Plenty of OTT reactions here. Being 'underwhelmed' by a sponsor is quite funny really. Agreed.
Matthew Le God Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 From the point of exploitation of the poor I am very happy and I am sure the board took this into consideration when we went with the locally based speaker company. How is that relevant as a stick to beat them with? The size of the deal is what matters, not about it being a local company or not. There are some huge companies with HQ's in Hampshire.
AndyRWatson Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Can see lots of training/games videos coming using their muvi sports cameras from novel angles/accessories . They are trying to compete with Gopro.
Saint Garrett Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Would fully expect Veho to be paying quite a bit, this is the whole reason Krueger has been brought in?! Surely must be looking at £2m minimum
The Kraken Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Plenty of OTT reactions here. Being 'underwhelmed' by a sponsor is quite funny really. This. There really is some top quality whining and hand wringing going on without actually knowing any of the facts.

There are some huge companies with HQ's in Hampshire. Why didn't we tap them up then? Serco for one? There has to be a reason somewhere we are not seeing or not wanting to.
LGTL Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 That is kind of the point of sponsorship I believe. 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.
Barry Sanchez Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 This. There really is some top quality whining and hand wringing going on without actually knowing any of the facts. So if Apple sponsored us you would not be happy or overwhelmed? Ok then.

JoeShmoe Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Indeed - although it has nicely highlighted those who default to a negative reaction on every single forking thread Fixed for you

None of them are particularly large or global brands with the exception of Xerox BUt they were never in the #itshappening era when we were not going for a 5 year plan of getting into Europe/Champions League, have I missed something?
Stoozer Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 I don't know what all the negativity is about. Without knowing the finer details of the deal there's not a lot to say. Some people on here remind me of the two joeys who sit behind me - only happy when moaning about the club they support. Welcome aboard Veho.
The Kraken Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 So if Apple sponsored us you would not be happy or overwhelmed? Ok then. I'm not sure if I'd care all that much either way Barry. Ok then.
Barry Sanchez Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 I'm not sure if I'd care all that much either way Barry. Ok then. Ok then.
Minty Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 The point of it to us should be about making the most money, which we don't appear very well at doing. Based on what specific information?
Horley CTFC Saint Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Nor since ...and look how much they're sponsoring Man Ure to the tune of!?!
dronskisaint Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Good kit, good company, good (and short!) logo. I've bought a couple of their products...what's not to like?
The Kraken Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Good kit, good company, good (and short!) logo. I've bought a couple of their products...what's not to like? Well this is Saintsweb, so plenty. Although exactly what it is that is not to like is not entirely clear just yet.
Batman Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 StuRomseySaint is clearly not impressed by this already blaming Cortese for this one jesus christ
SaintSteve Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Plenty of OTT reactions here. Being 'underwhelmed' by a sponsor is quite funny really. Just cannon fodder for BS to have another rant..
Barry Sanchez Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Just cannon fodder for BS to have another rant.. I don't want cannon fodder though, ever thought of it like that?
Saint_clark Posted 9 May, 2014 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.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 So if Apple sponsored us you would not be happy or overwhelmed? Ok then. You do realise sponsor doesn't mean buying the club right?
LGTL Posted 9 May, 2014 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. I couldn't give a flying one who sponsors us, would just like to get the best possible deal for the club.
CB Fry Posted 9 May, 2014 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. MLG ' s £3-5m is a bit fanciful but I'd hope for at least another 500k on top of the reported 1m that aaaaaaap were paying.
AndyRWatson Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Aren't they both ? http://www.veho-world.com/main/news.aspx?id=85
Sour Mash Posted 9 May, 2014 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... Have they managed that with Veho? From where do you pluck the £3-5m figure from?
Barry Sanchez Posted 9 May, 2014 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 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. It's also about a partnership that involves raising the profiles of both companies worldwide...an innovative electronics-based global company should fit the bill?
um pahars Posted 9 May, 2014 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.

How dare a local company try and make good! Honestly....
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Gareth Rogers - "Finding a partner who could match our ambition was our main priority" That's some ambition... Are they going to asset strip this summer as well
Viking Warrior Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Saints Charlie are you Alpines Brother by any chance?
