New shirt sponsor?

[Giraffe]

Maybe they're going to sponsor the train station?

I'll fetch my coat.

Or more likely the train station bridge

Sponsoring the training ground?

That's a better shout, particularly if they are supply the telephony at the ground, they may have done a deal on the cost in return for the sponsorship.

Very unlikely to be wifi, because there's a joint project with Sussex Uni going on at the moment to try to build a viable wifi-like system for the stadium.

They are sponsoring the new goal line technology.

Indeed so we can totally rule out a shirt sponsorship deal:
...
4) Because Barber will be looking for a well known national because those are the contacts he has.

can i say that is one of the most odd criteria. how many people know of AIG, Standard Chartered, Automony, FXPro, Invest in Africa or half the betting companies before their shirt sponsorships? Its rather the whole point of the sponsorship, raising your profile nationally.

Sponsoring the big screens ?

Overline's marketing budget of £5,000 per annum and some hot cross buns, will sponsor the underground warming-up room.

I keep reading Overline as Ovaltine

I worked for Overline for a few days at the beginning of the year, doing their "sales". It's hothouse B2B cold calling, so I left very quickly. Jason, the owner, is actually a nice chap, and a serious Brighton fan. They did all the phone and comms systems for the AMEX (and, presumably, the training ground when it opens), so they definitely have a hell of a lot of clout with the club, considering they are actually quite a small company based in Lancing and Worthing. Not a crap company by any means, certainly not as tinpot as many on here are making out. Just not my cuppa tea work wise!!

In terms of what they're sponsoring, I would imagine it would be a lounge, or something like that.

I worked for them as well back end of last year. Not my cup of tea either.......................! However, from a financial point of view i would imagine it would be something in the Donatello category or a lounge as you say. Jason isn't the only owner, his partner is John (nice bloke) who isn't as much of a football fan by any means so i doubt he would be too happy with the company spunking a load of cash on it. Good luck to them though.
