Guided Missile Posted 15 July, 2009 Share Posted 15 July, 2009 Can I recommend that any small firms out there, consider sponsoring a player? £700 gets you his signed shirt, two tickets to the end of season Players Award Dinner, logo on the big screen, etc. etc.... It was a grand last season and I think, even in a recession, it's worth considering. Email Danielle at dlewis@saintsfc.co.uk and she'll sort something out, I'm sure. Interestingly, this morning I received a letter informing us that we can sponsor Marek Saganowski again this season and the club have heard nothing about him going anywhere. If we can keep him and Rasiak up front for the season, I think we'll do alright... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beancounter saint Posted 15 July, 2009 Share Posted 15 July, 2009 Interesting. But what happens if you sponsor a player and he then leaves? Do you get your cash back (I'm guessing not!) or do you get to have another one in his place or none of the above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beancounter saint Posted 15 July, 2009 Share Posted 15 July, 2009 Fair enough but be prepared for disappointment as think Pulis is likely to be in demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFC Forever Posted 15 July, 2009 Share Posted 15 July, 2009 Why would Pulis bring callers beckoning? He has just finished a year out injured and by all accounts was not at the races in his appearance last week. I, personally hope that he can do well for us this season.

Well he certainly didn't look as though he was at Bournemouth, but that's the only friendly I've managed to get to so far. If we give him a new deal, I think Stern John will be a better bet for top scorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we give him a new deal, I think Stern John will be a better bet for top scorer. I didn't go but read some reports of the last game saying that he looked as though he was back to his old self. Awesome if true. Obviously he could have just been trying to impress a watching scout... We'll see against Ajax I guess. Given the games and motivation I think Rasiak, Saga and John all have the ability to do very very well in L1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty good value, my previous firm did Matchball Sponsorship v Bristol C a couple of years back, cost us about £1500 then which we thought was good value, considering you got a table of 10 in the Channon, ad in the programme and big screen ads..

This is a great idea. See what can be raised between now and August. Run a poll in tandem. We could possibly sponsor more than one player.

dubai_phil Posted 15 July, 2009 Share Posted 15 July, 2009 Good idea, but think the quid is optimistic. Perhaps a system a bit like the forum match where we sign up and then send the money when we know how many we have.

If we can keep him and Rasiak up front for the season, I think we'll do alright... Agree but would rather see John\Rasiak up front. It probably won't happen but if we could keep all 3 then the forward line is looking v.good. Just need a battling CH and 1\2 combative midfielders and I think we've got a decent looking team.

stevegrant Posted 15 July, 2009 Share Posted 15 July, 2009 Given that the amount required is variable depending on the player(s) chosen, how about: 1. Contributions are variable, ranging from £1 to a maximum of, say, £50. For every £1 contributed, you get one entry into the draw for the seats at the end of season dinner and the signed shirt. 2. A deadline is set for contributions, after which we then ascertain which players are a) available, and b) affordable within the money received. A poll can then be run for a few days to choose the player(s) sponsored. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
