Crab Lungs Posted 2 February, 2010 Share Posted 2 February, 2010 I thought this thread could be justified as a 'branch off' the other 'this shirt is yours thread' http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4884757.Flybe_ends_Saints_sponsorship_deal/?ref=rss “The sponsorship deal between Flybe and Southampton has proved a very beneficial partnership. The four years have been a real rollercoaster ride that have seen the Saints experience the highs and lows and it’s been an honour to have been the club sponsor during this time. “We know the club were very grateful for the way we stood by them at the end of last season and provided commercial stability amongst their sponsors, and as a result we are parting on very amicable terms with Southampton and leave the club in a good position – solvent and with an exciting future under the new owners. “Since the decision has been taken, Flybe have worked closely with the club to help them source a new sponsor and fully intend to continue supporting the club in whatever way we can over the next few years.” Bloody hell... he makes it sound like they saved the club :-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B Posted 2 February, 2010 Share Posted 2 February, 2010 There is no point surely in getting a Sponsor whilst we are in League 1 better until we are in the CCC when possibly we can get a better deal.

Wes Tender Posted 2 February, 2010 Share Posted 2 February, 2010 I don't really see the need for another thread on this. But it could be that unless proven otherwise, the Echo might have misreported it, as somebody said that the Flybe sponsorship was due to end by the close of this season anyway. So it might be more accurate to state that they are not renewing the sponsorship, but not that they have ended it when it will be expiring. Also not clear from the other thread, is whether it will just be these special anniversary shirts that will be without a sponsor's name, or whether it is also other kit items. And I'm sure that we probably don't require Flybe's assistance in finding a sponsor if we want one. The people running our club are plenty high-powered enough to have the contacts I would expect.

All sponsorship deals would have clauses in them. If the team goes up then the company would have to pay accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat Posted 2 February, 2010 Share Posted 2 February, 2010 Can it be a charity please. We don't need to whore ourselves out to some faceless corporate group who have no links to the club other than trying to extend their brand image on the back of our future success. I might even buy a shirt then. No way am I walking round advertising a company on the front of a shirt which has cost £40 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissyboy31 Posted 2 February, 2010 Share Posted 2 February, 2010 No way am I walking round advertising a company on the front of a shirt which has cost £40 or so. Funny peoples views on this after so many years of having shirt sponsors. Me, I'd prefer to have the chance of buying replica's without shirt sponsor, even if the playing shirts have them but I'm not fussed either way. I do dislike the white plastic panel Flybe logo though and only bought the current shirt towards the end of last season when I seriously thought we were going out of business. Up here, Hull Kingston Rovers new main sponsor is Sporting Bet and kids shirts are not allowed to carry the sponsor's logo due to gambling rules (I think Forest is similar with Victor Chandler). One of our neighbours bought their grandson an HKR shirt for Christmas but instead of getting him a 'Youths' they got him a 'Small Ladies' because they were adamant they wanted the sponsor on the shirt (to look like the team).
