Shirt Sponsor Confirmed

[Boris Yeltsin]

Is this better than Kirklees College, who sponsor Huddersfield? Imagine Brighton College sponsoring us.

What about the secondary sponsor? Will there be one?

 

[Chicken Run]

Indeed. I reckon this is a business that will run itself, now it's been set up. Once the website and payment systems are set up, they need no more than two or three people to run a company that already has a turnover of £300,000 a year and - thanks to the sponsorship deal with the Albion - will rapidly grow, without the need to take on extra staff.

See LB, I new their was a go get em capitalist inside you fighting to get out, now can you confirm that the Gary peters that set this company up was indeed in the REMF11 squad?

This is all a bit strange . I would a thought a local company on a national scale would have got the gig. L&G are now back on a sound footing as are Lloyds - TSB. Or even Family Assurance.

As for Gary Paters being a lifelong Albion fan? Well if you combine that with Chelsea as well. I think his lives Patcham the ultra posh part on the Old London Road.

 

[Chicken Run]

All he's done is followed the Rightmove principal for recruitment, well done to him.

I heard that Amex provided some of the start up capital for the company.. Not sure how true that is?

 

[Braders]

How long is the deal for as it doesn't say on the website?

two years according to there website
Brighton and Hove Jobs News / Blog

 

[philsussex]

Are we still going to have Donnatello's on the back of the shirts?

 

[Dizzle.]

Love how they use the new badge on there site, looks brilliant.

 

[JJ McClure]

I guess this means going back to a crappy stick on sponsor on the shirt.

unless the deal was actually finalised a while back and the club are just not announcing such...

 

[dannyboy]

as others have said i think its the best sponsor we could have . its got our name on the front , simple!

Yes he was, and a very nice chap he was too.

I think it's WICKED. How many teams have (pretty much) their own name on their shirt sponsor? And in their own colours?

If you don't like this, you are a fool.

I'm with you. Will look great in my opinion.

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Bit of a noddy sponser.

At least now randoms I meet on holiday won't ask what team it is I guess.

only because you are thinking of shirt sponsors in terms of a form of advertising. how many clubs in the lower league have local rather than a national brand on their shirt? shirt sponsorship is as much about simply putting money into the club as part of a corporate package, with hospitality in return. even in the Premeirship its more about being involved than actual advertising - do you even know what half the sponsors in the Premiership are for? Aon and Standard Chartered are not exactly selling anything to the general, football watching public.

Not at all - there are many, many 'Rightmoves of the recruitment industry' in that they are large, sophisticated, national (most international) jobs warehouses for Recruitment Agencies, and direct employers, to advertise their positions.

This is very niche and it's not as if Brighton is an employment hot spot, is it? Which is why so many people jump on the train and head to that there London every day.

there are quite alot of "Rightmoves for the real estate industry" for that matter, they are hardly unqiue.

Indeed (it wasn't my analogy).

 

[Mr Burns]

It'll be interesting to see how much new business it brings for them. 446 jobs on site at the moment.

I just can't work it out. The numbers just don't add up to me. Unless being the main sponser for the Albion is a low-mid 5 figure sum. Also it doesn't seem to be the greatest time or city to set up a jobs website. Very strange one.

Good luck to them anyway
