[Archived] Crown Paints New Rovers Sponsor

[broadsword]

They're not called Lucky Goldstar any more though, they're just LG.

I thought they made vacuum cleaners and 'phones.

Perspex

McEwans Lager

CIS Insurance

HSA

Bet 24

Have I missed any?

Looks like Crown Paints will be the only one that I may actually buy a product from. But not if B & Q's own brand is £5 cheaper.

Has anyone ever bought anything because it's on the front of a football shirt? Is anyone so stupid?

Possibly not..but I refused to buy Vodaphone when it was on the front of acertain red shirt!!

They make all kinds of domestic electrical appliances

[cletus]

Not a clue what the product is:

Bolton - RBK

Reading - Kyocerb

Everton - Chang

Spurs - Mansion

WHU - XL

XL.....is that a range of clothing for Americans?

and I hate the Dandy Warholes for allowing their song to be used on the vodaphone advert showing ManUre playing

[Ozz]

Coors (remember that one?) for one game only, if i remember right.

Yep-Nottingham Forest at home IIRC. They looked like they had literally blu-tacked the Coors bit over the McKewans logo. I blame Sean Bean.

LG = Lifes Great - new company logo apparently

XL is Excell Airways I beleive, crap planes, crap food and crap entertainment

[speeeeeeedie]

I like our new sponsor. Nothing to do with the company, just that it's a bit different. We used to have a beer sponsor when the league and loads of other teams had beer sponsors. Now we have a betting firm with a few others doing the same. Sponsorship is all about brand recognition, not sales generation. The more places you see the brand the more recognised it will be. AIG are a massive company, they just want their name out there, they are not specifically targeting Man U fans.

I've also never refused to buy something because they sponsor a rival team.

LG stands for Lucky Goldstar...Life's great is it's advertising campaign...

[Paul Mellelieu]

Thats very good! Are you looking to work alongside me on the new moderating team Paul?

btw wanna come to the housewarming? I'd ask others from your neck of the woods except I've only put standard 30" doors on.

You'll have to explain that one to me big boy.

That would be

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL

on a 100 inch shirt

Me too. Unfortunately there's no escape....... I'm now on O2.

btw I made a point of never buying Sharp stuff either.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but did Scottish and Newcastle put sponsorship money into Rovers just as they were about to close the Lions brewery Blackburn same as Crown paints are about to close a part of its Darwen business.

Is the part of the smoothing over process into closing the Darwen site ?

[Manchester Blue]

Well AS found it funny so maybe he knows what it was about, I have to admit I was struggling somewhat.

Crown Paints are NOT closing part of thier Darwen business.. Akzo Nobel are selling Crown Paints because they have acquired Dulux Paints and can not hold both.

The part of the paint industry in Darwen that is facing losing jobs is Industrial Paints - which is still owned by Akzo Nobel.. and the reason jobs are on the line is because Akzo want to reloctate the manufacture of Industrial Paints to Holland.

Thank you, yes i did know that, i was just being a little bit mischievous wondering if there was another motive behind the sponsorship deal.

[philipl]

Are we replacing Savage with the Dulux dog?

[broadsword]

Just had another look at the photo, they can't be happy with what is presumably a mock-up, it's not an easily discerned logo in black on blue/ white.

I think it must have something to do with crime, but I'm still guessing.

No problem JAL

[CaliRoverNYC]

I too hope the sponsor is in red, the black clashes a bit on the blue half of the shirt... either way it'll look better than Bet24

[USABlue]

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

He had a limited travel expense account.

'Crime', oh I see what you did there, very good. Shouldn't you be out fighting fascism ?

[Flopsy]

I'm surprised he has time to post on here, what with him manning the barricades against capitilism

I dont care who's our sponsor is as long as its never budweiser

[b12_simon]

Possibly not..but I refused to buy Vodaphone when it was on the front of acertain red shirt!!

And I refuse to get Endsleigh insurance cos of their past support of our Yorkshire neighbours.
