Who's going to SPONSOR us next year?

[Lady Whistledown]

shirt sponsorship doesnt work any way - on the basis that noone can name all 20 premiership sponsors off the top of their head, and they got more exposure than anyone on the planet

It's more to do with brand awareness- name recognition- than making you want to go and buy someone's product.

I bet a lot of people on here had never heard of AIG until they sponsored Man United, and even if you don't know what they do, you'll still be aware of the brand.

It might not necessarily make you want to go and buy their products, which may be something that isn't a mass market thing anyway, but what their marketing boffins are interested in is whether you recognise the name when you hear it.

You probably hadn't heard of Boylesports, CDWS or OKI before they sponsored Premier League clubs, and while you may not be able to reel off a list of Premier League sponsors off the top of your head, now I've said the names, you probably know which clubs these three chuck money at.

It would be, it was quite strange to see coverage of the Manchester derby with the old strips minus any sponsor, I thought that it looked pretty good. You are right though, we do need the revenue that sponsorship brings, it is hard to see anyone turning out without some sort of branding on their shirt...even if it is a pizza parlour!

How about the lot in your avatar sponsoring us? That would get some exposure

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Lewes DC

They seem to have alot of money to throw away on frivilous activities.

i know skint made/make lots of money from multi-million selling fatboy slim albums, but apart from that they rarely make many waves on the dance music scene these days (seems they lost out on Justice even though Damian Harris is best freinds with Ed Banger head Honcho Pedro Winter) ...

a 2 season deal must cost 300k at least - not sure they would be able to justify that anymore, unless norm is putting some money in.

I just hope it's a good company, not someone unheard of like GAC logistics.

 

[Mendoza]

PRIDE should sponsor us

 

[Wilka]

This might explain why all the shirts are half price including the yellow shirt which has another year to run.

Really?

 

[Buzzer]

PRIDE should sponsor us

That's the spirit. Let's advertise what Brighton's good at.

Wonder if Albion kebabs or the homeless shelter in Hove would consider.

 

[Turkey]

The yellow shirt doesn't have another year to run. One year only for that shirt.

 

[Nibble]

Should be sponsered by The Big Issue, enough of those f***ing layabouts on the take in Brighton. Time they gave something back.

I agree with you on AIG. I'd never heard of them before their involvement with the Northern Scum, despite being based down here in Brighton. However, I have no idea who Boylesports or CDWS are, or who they sponsor.

Losing Skint though would be a crushing blow. I genuninely cannot imagine a better sponsor.

If they did pull out but Norm still wanted to be involved perhaps Southern Fried Records would put their name on our shirts, if only as a way of old Fatboy keeping us afloat.

I liked it when shirt sponsors all over the land seemed relevant to their local club. The classic Toon shirts with Newcy Brown plastered across the front will go down in history. Similarly there was Leicester and Walkers (the factory being there and the Lineker connection) and Rangers with Tennants (the brewery being based in Glasgow).

faceless corporations like phone companies, airlines and financial firms just have no relevance and make shirts look boring.

Boylesports are an Irish bookmaker, who sponsor Sunderland. No idea who CDWS are though!

It makes me purposely NOT buy any of their products. Anyone who's slapped their name on manure or beagles shirts gets not a penny from the crasher wallet.

(thouth I must admit Vodafone, TDK, Sharp, Virgin etc seem to have survived my boycott so far)

Everything else at the club seems to be sponsored by Rix & Kay solicitors.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Graham Rix and Peter Kay, that is.

Boylesports sponsorship isn't even targeted at people in the UK - no shops and only the web operation there. Targeted at barstoolers who support the latest club with a fake Irish connection - used to be Leeds due to O'Leary and even had a short period of time of being Carlisle due to Roddy Collins!
