How is Gus supposed to know which companies are looking for sponsorship- I recognise he should be chasing sponsors but everyone!!

Everyone......he should have 100+irons in the fire in the hope of getting at least 4 paid adverts on the shirt...

Maybe Fosters are trying to grow there sales in the north hence sponsoring a northern club-or would that dilute your argument

Not at all.....our 13 away gameswillbe seen by more northerners and TV viewers that any championship club all season......

Why would Fosters want anything to do with us when our stadium is plastered with Greene King sponsorship?

....for exactly that reason.

The FACT, or as you like to call it, the dig, was for this to have been a missed opportunity , it would have at first have had to have been one in the first place, but as Gus has been on his knees in front of the local store manager at SELCO, I doubt we were in the mix.

Interstingly, I also accused Boss Hogg of the same negligance when he took over the reigns.....he was fairly high up the pecking order in the Beer/Bar trade......yet we relied on IL and Sports Cafe......THAT WAS A MISSED OPPORTUNITY.

The Dig?


If you think SELCO are the only people willing to part with cash for sports sponsorship, then you need your bumps felt......don't get me wrong, it only took Gus 47 games to get a sticker on the front of the shirt, and regardless of who it is, a sticker is a sticker, but 47 games is also 18 months and I can think of no other 'sales" based job where you get 18 months to land your first deal and then get applauded when the rebook, upping from a quarter page to a full page black and white

54 SL games, 18% drop in fans, shirt sponsor for 13% of this time, no additional corporate interest other than a local dentist making gum shields and god only knows how much money wasted on a totally failed name change.....yeah, let's sign him up for another 10 years

One of your more pathetic digs.

How do you think Greene King and Quins RU would feel about it?

You're losing the plot.

Re: The Amber Nectar : Thu Dec 13, 2012 10:11 pm  

Dont think Greene King or QRU should have a constraint on our potential sponsors. On the other hand if they do it is time to leave the Stoop

Nothing to do with them what we wear or who sponsors us. We are perfectly within our rights to cover up THEIR advertising on our match days if we see it as competing with our own sponsors.......although this clause hasn't had to be used recently, it is in our agreement as tenants (or it was up until 2011).

Correct....on both counts!

Re: The Amber Nectar : Thu Dec 13, 2012 11:47 pm  

You can't even buy Fosters at the bar. Completely pointless, it would make more sense to try and work with existing partners at the stadium than dream up nonsensical deals with rival firms in the same industry.

Don't believe GF. Provide facts. Remember Virgin?

Here's a fact. Very often, when the club doesn't do something as YOU deem to be the way to go, it's called a "missed opportunity" bu you. Some people reading this will see it as the club failing. Purely based on your comment.

From memory, Is that the same Keith Hogg that sponsored us whilst he was involved the aforementioned Sponsor, Fosters?



The thread is pointless on this occasion.
