[Archived] Crown Paints New Rovers Sponsor

[Exiled_Rover]

Irony of ironies. Rovers hired a top American sponsorship searcher and he found a company in Darwen.

Best not have paid him much judging by the deal we've signed.

[RevidgeBlue]

And that's a bad thing because...?

It's not a good thing from the sponsor's point of view if you're paying 1.7m p.a. for the privilege of being on the front of the shirt!

[Tim Southampton Rover]

True, we all know what happened when Hollywood tried to promote the new movie 'The Invisible Man' on the Barcelona shirt....

Very large extension on my house almost completed..... So Crown paint it is then for the newly plastered walls.

Who are you going to get to put the padding on?

[Paul Mellelieu]

Stop it Scotty!

[Roost]

And that's a bad thing because...?

.....because 'saharan whisper' from the new Crown 'lets give it a pretentious name' range of paint is a much nicer colour

Your house already has 4 toilets, how many bogs does a man need ?

[Hughesy]

£5m over 3 years is the deal - not bad!

[mattym]

And our new kit for next season could be NIKE according to this !!

No it will still be umbro

[modes98]

No it will still be Umbro

But Umbro are owned by Nike, so effectively they are Nike kits.

Anybody know if the sponsor will be the traditional stick on plastic rubbish or will we be incorporated it into the fabric/got a retro furry, sticky out patch(ala McEwans Lager).

[AndyC]

Considiering Spurs get 30 mill+ from Mansion and they are a similar team to our selves should we be happy with 5mill over 3 years?

are you being serious?

they have about a million fans in this country and many more around the world. Much as I hate them, to put us in the same bracket from a sponsorship point of view is crazy!

[CAPT KAYOS]

Better all hope that the performance are not akin to watching paint dry.... 2nd thoughts are we not sponsored by them already

[joey_big_nose]

To get perspective on whether this is going to generate more funds for us, what was the annual money brough in per annum on the Bet24 deal?

[Lee]

According to what Lee from the official site has stated many a time, Rovers have to literally go cap in hand when sponsorship time comes around!

I wouldn't call it cap in hand, we get as much as we can, but sponsorship is a highly competitive market, I believe there are something like seven Premier League clubs searching for new shirt sponsors for the 2008/09 season, therefore it is something of a feather in our caps that we are one of, if not the first team to secure new sponsorship for the forthcoming season.

DunnFC: if you know someone who wants to give us £30m for a five year sponsor deal, please pass on their details.

[waggy]

No, but the industial paints side is earmarked to move abroad (109 jobs in total) though the local usless New labour MP is putting a protest forward trying to prevent this from happening.

out off those 190 i wonder if there is any rovers fans

guessing thats why Rovers have chose a 3 year deal? as when it runs out it's likely to clash with less teams searching?

[waggy]

it's great advertising for a company,every game featured on tv one way or another.how much does a advert cost on tv???????????????????????????

[trueblue]

out off those 190 i wonder if there is any rovers fans

It doesn't matter how many Waggy... the 190 work for Akzo Nobel, not Crown Paints

[Ben-2000]

Very strange...Crown paints, if sold, may be taken over by a firm who don't want to keep the name going... what then?!

[Hughesy]

Think it is currently just under £1m a year so its about a £650k increase per season.

Well, alot of people would probably say he spouts alot of s###, maybe it`s medical problem he`s got?

A great big whopping bank space where the sponsor should be? Wishful but here's hoping...

[mattym]

According to this the 3 year deal is worth between 4 & 5 million !!
