Ben-2000 Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 Looks so much better without an advert plastered on the front - nice and traditional. Last season was the first shirt I bought since I was a kid, it looked great. Have got this season's too.
bob fleming Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 Fair play Ben. I agree. However, again, it demonstrates that what they can take out is more important than what they can bring in. It should be a case of "oh my fecking word, we've been relegated, how the flying feck are we going to afford all this?" Instead we pisz away more money on a sackful of crap players from Portugal who aren't good enough for our starting 11. A sponsor? That would surely mean having to interact with Rovers fans / people. Sod that. That's clearly not in their best interests.
Backroom Tom Posted August 18, 2012 Backroom Posted August 18, 2012 Can we not borrow one off fulham? Their training top appears to have about 5 sponsors on it!
Rovermatt Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 Proof (as if any were needed) that even the most basic of club functions are simply being ignored.
AJW Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 it gets worse , i've heard off a member of the groundstaff that most of the advertising hoardings round the pitch havent been sponsored either
Jock Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 it gets worse , i've heard off a member of the groundstaff that most of the advertising hoardings round the pitch havent been sponsored either My mate had a box for the last 3 seasons but didnt renew this time. Rovers have been phoning up every week begging them to come back. Theyve offered a massive reduction but get the same answer(not until Kean goes).
AndyNeil Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 Does anybody know if the picture doing the rounds on Facebook, with the Rovers shirt and the 3 mobile sponsor are genuine, or just a photoshop effort?
rover2000 Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 Does anybody know if the picture doing the rounds on Facebook, with the Rovers shirt and the 3 mobile sponsor are genuine, or just a photoshop effort? I think it is photoshop effort referencing Shebby Singh's comment that Kean would be sacked if we lost the first "3" games.
Ben-2000 Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 it gets worse , i've heard off a member of the groundstaff that most of the advertising hoardings round the pitch havent been sponsored either WEC have pulled out aswell.
Stuart Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 So we have virtually no sponsorship, barely any corporate sales(?), halved our season ticket sales, and are allegedly under investigation by the only recognisable brand willing to be associated with us, Umbro. Oh, and we no longer have the Premier League brand or income to lean on. Yet we seem to be able to buy new players and apparently offer top dollar for a League One striker, and, by complete coincidence, all since we changed to an Indian bank. If Venkys are not putting any of their own cash in (which is apparently against league fair play rules anyway) then we really are goosed. It's hard so see a happy ending. Yet they won't remove the one person who is the root cause of all of their problems. (I say that with a view that if everything was fine on the pitch the pressure on Venkys would be greatly reduced). I guess this is why people are prepared to give Singh a chance.
AllRoverAsia Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 Maybe its going to be The Guardian. Maybe on a no fee basis.
AndyNeil Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 WEC have pulled out aswell. No time wasted in taking down the WEC signage either I see. Does anybody know for sure whether it was the end of the contract, or if it was terminated early by either party?
AllRoverAsia Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 Not too long till the Supermarket opens. Bolton Road, Motor Way access ...................
seanc88 Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 Wayne Wild on twitter about WEC ending relationship with BRFC Wayne Wild @CryerRovers Told directly from a senior source that SK and PA did not want to have continued link with us.
Stuart Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 Wayne Wild on twitter about WEC ending relationship with BRFC Wayne Wild @CryerRovers Told directly from a senior source that SK and PA did not want to have continued link with us. So I guess that means that they have another sponsor lined up. Just like they did when they didn't renew with Crown... oh wait. I also assume this lays to rest any thoughts that Kean is not still top dog at Ewood, no matter how fancy Singh's office is. EDIT: oh, and he continues to cost Venkys another income stream? What's next, no more matchday hotdogs?
AllRoverAsia Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 There's so much available space at Ewood surely they all have big offices. Or has the shelving already gone up?
FourLaneBlue Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 How about... 'Dignity' - the new fragrance by Steve Kean, PS - Might possibly smell of bullsh!t.
