Full details here -> http://bit.ly/ebOesb #saintsfc Southampton Football Club is delighted to announce Mercedes-Benz Southampton as Official Car Partner and Pentagon Commercials as Official Commercial Vehicle Partner. It was on 29 January 1886 that Karl Benz filed an application in Berlin for a patent on his three-wheeled motor car. Ever since, that day has been considered the official birthday of the motor car, which, in 2011, celebrates its 125th anniversary. In this special year, 2011 also sees Mercedes-Benz of Southampton and Pentagon Commercial Vehicles join Southampton Football Club as the club's new Official Car Partner and Official Commercial Vehicle Partner, during the Club's own 125th Anniversary season. Both Mercedes-Benz of Southampton and Pentagon Commercial Vehicles are part of the Ridgeway Group and ranked as the 26th Largest Motor Retail Group in the UK.

Matthew Le God Posted 28 January, 2011 Share Posted 28 January, 2011 The reason Saints got this guy from the company that did UEFA Champions League marketing was for deals like this. Scott Steadman joins... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2096187,00.html It is not Saints main sponsor, Mercedes are just "vehicle partners" and it is also Mercedes of Southampton, not Mercedes. Will probably have another company on the shirts next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmel Posted 28 January, 2011 Share Posted 28 January, 2011 Its not a sponsor, its a commercial partner (Altough i am, sure they will have some pitch side boards) and it's a mercedes franchise, Ridgeway Group, not Mercedes Benz.
