Saints announce Virgin Media as new main club sponsor

[hasper57saint]

Perhaps now Sky won't be so keen to show a Saints match with the main oppositions Logo on our shirts.This could mean we will get more 3pm kick offs to suit the fans rather than Rupert Murdochs bank account.

What about a Saints TV channel

6 europa league games = 6 games on sundays = higher chance of game on tv IF we are up against a big team, sorry everton

[Saint Billy]

Great news, saw this as a rumoured possibility a couple of months back but never thought it was a goer. Excellent.

 

Had Virgin cable and broadband a couple of years back and thought it was an awful service but to be fair Sky is not much better. In any case who gives a ****, the brand is well known and is much more credible than having Wonga on your shirt.

Excellent - happy with that

It's got to be done. Drop the St and get the bible bashers frothing at the mouth!

 

On wiki her nicknames are Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, Virgin Mary, Saint Mary, Mother Mary..So Virgin St Mary's would still fit

"Virgin Media has accepted a $23.3bn (£15bn) takeover by American cable tycoon John Malone's Liberty Global in a deal that threatens to topple Rupert Murdoch's dominance of pay television by creating Europe's largest broadband business.The new company will have its headquarters in the UK, and serve 25 million customers in 14 countries including Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and the Netherlands."

 

 

But that's not accurate. You can't buy virgin media branded products anywhere other than the uk. virgin media is a uk company serving the uk only . Parent company Liberty Global might well own companies selling services in other countries but that's a different matter entirely.

Would look good on Rank Xerox / Air Florida style from the early 1980s, with the broad white centre panel. Although the news release shows white logo on red background which would suit an Ajax style shirt, and make our new manager feel at home!!

Hi Alps from the mountains... You want me to do what with a double Snickers??

Immature skates will have a field day with this!

 

For or the more sensible of us, this is a big brand. The Tube's whole customer WiFi is powered by them. Hope they add WiFi to the stadium.

Yep Branson is full of **** but very clever though in convincing the gullible British public they are a major player.

Literally all that matters with a sponsor is the amount of money they put up.

Unless we have an all red kit or one with a large central panel, I'd suggest it'll either need a big white area around it (not necessarily rectangle), or they'll use a black version of the logo. Can't see it would have enough stand-out to keep them happy otherwise.

£16.99 per month (plus line rental)

[Polaroid Saint]

Brilliant. First time I'll be able to wear a shirt with VIRGIN on the front since my 25th Birthday Bash.

 

Anyway, those of us who visit The9's shirt thread knew this weeks ago.

 

Red n white, virgin/saints/Mary all good. Carry on.

[suewhistle]

I think Saints miseed a trick. Invite all the press along for a presser and instead of announcing the departure of RK announce the new sponsorship.. Shame, missed opportunity!

Pleased to avoid a loan shark or betting company, other than I could not give a monkeys so long as they have paid handsomely. Actually as a customer I'm helping fund the sponsorship, so too are any Skates that have VIrgin.

How is a uk based company selling, Internet and phone services just in the UK a "proper international company"?

 

Because inter alia it's just acquired Liberty Global! Plus generally, globally more punters know Virgin than Veho...

You must know more about James Mooney than most people to have that opinion of him.

[the saint in winchester]

Good news. If they can sponsor/create a Saints TV channel, free to air, showing all the games - lovely jubbly.

[Lazlo78]

Along with the Under Armour deal, I hope this push us upwards in this table - that is the key for us to establish ourselves in the top half of the PL:

the figures might be even closer if it's from 14/15 /15/16...Cortese was ****e on the commercial side

 

Or god forbid we might even over take them in the commercial revenue....Hang on I'm getting ahead of myself here..That can't/won't happen because they is massive!

They can't.

Is anyone else in sport sponsored by Virgin media as I would like to compare?
