Stadium Naming Rights

[Frutos]

Does anyone know/can anyone remember how long our naming agreement with American Express was for?

I can't remember if it was 5 or 10 years (or possibly neither), but it occurred to me that this summer will mark our 5th anniversary at the Amex, so if it was 5 years they'd be up for grabs again after this season.

Pretty sure it was ten years. Imagine Amex would like to see it in the premiership (sic) though.

Shall we all put a tenner in and call it the north stand chat community stadium?

Also pretty sure it was ten years. As a side question how many years are left on the shirt sponsorship deal

Thanks.

A nice, concise thread this time, unlike a certain other thread I started a while back!

Not sure of the answer but I would think that the club may get better value to have seperate sponsorship for the shirts than the stadium but I am sure PB knows what he is doing without my help.

Sorry [MENTION=4675]Frutos[/MENTION]

Does the shirt and training ground deals expire at the same time or are they on different timelines?

 

[atomised]

Everything I can find just refers to a multi year deal for the shirt sponsorship

 

[cardboard]

It's pretty much open ended. The deal suits both parties. Blue chip global company. Local community benefit for Amex

Correct, but I think the 10 years started when the stadium opened as this was when the final payment was made.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

After the first 10 years it will always be called the Am..er.."new name" stadium

Exactly. After the sponsorship deal has ended there will be a fair few that will forever refer to the ground as The Amex. Because of this, I wonder if the next deal will be as lucrative.

Its strange that with naming rights the first one sticks. I still think of huddersfields as the mcalpine.
