Imagine if you could only buy from a club sponsor? - Go to Derby Uni, work at Toyota drive a BMW, drink Marstons, eat Greggs, play Golf at Morely Hayes and live in a Chevin Home.

Mucker1884 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 1 minute ago, Mostyn6 said: is there actually a kit for sale? No... Not yet. Late order (for obvious reasons), exacerbated further by world-wide supply issues within the industry as a whole. I posted a link a good week or so ago that stated that a large number of clubs had only home shirts for sale, and/or limited numbers and/or no more deliveries for a few months etc... again all due to the supply issues. Our supplier did us a rush order for just enough shirts for the playing squad only. Hence the "Home made" shirts worn for the pre-season games.

Maverick Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Is the time right for a Stadium Sponsor? With every ground we visit at this level being sponsored - does it make financial sense to take a 2 year naming rights deal to see us through the EFL restrictions etc? This would make good business sense as League 1 spend is related to turnover. We don't have to go mad (as per the IPRO fiasco), but maybe a 2 year deal worth £1m would certainly pay some bills. staff/players. University of Bradford Stadium is a good example - local institution looking raise their awareness to attract more students spending £9k a year per course.. You only need to attract an additional 111 students over 2 years to get your money back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've discussed this before. Advertising is different to sponsorship. Sponsors usually do it for brand recognition and acceptance not out of the goodness of their hearts. The lower the league the more likely the sponsor is going to be a small local business because of the reduced exposure. If you need some new tyres you might trust and think of Terry's tyres because you'd seen their name on the shirts of your local team. Anyone seeing Derby Uni's name on our shirts will probably already know all about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an investment in the city where they employ 2,000 people, it involved partnering with the club on community based initiatives etc etc. I suspect Lotus at Norwich would be exactly the same, there will be other examples. Yes, indeed. Actually, I have always thought with my business hat on that a credit card specific to the club "The Ram Card AmEX", or something, would be perfect on shirts - exposure in that it would be visible to the people who'd buy because of what it represents. Would only be a simple AMEX card, but you could tailor it club by club and advertise in such a way to create unique buy in --- would end the issue of Carling for a time not being bought by Rangers fans as they sponsored Celtic. Local community thing also important. I think DC should simply put Clowes Developments on the shirts for this reason. Would be good brand, rather than purchaser, marketing.

rammieib Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Always wonder at Champ level down what a shirt sponsor would get in return for their money? I'm surprised nothing creative has come in... like Birds sponsoring and saying that anyone who goes into a Birds Shop wearing the football shirt with their logo on can get a 20% discount or something like that.
