mainstand Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Jeez, it was just an observation and if anything a criticism of the media, not the club. Do Saints pay you to jump on posts and defend them at the slightest hint of criticism, even when there isn't any?However, like it or not, a sponsor is part of a club's image these days. There will obviously also be more chance of a bigger fee from a bigger company so it does matter. calm down wee man calm down!! No need to get your knickers in a twist.

In fairness, the economic climate is a heck of a lot different to when he was at Saints...not that is an excuse for our poor coverage affecting us.

For instance, selling the rights to the away end (north stand?) or the east stand. These can be sold year in year out and i'd reckon the money generated could compete with a shirt deal (£50k?)BELLS, DEWARS of Famous Grouse ought to get their name on the shirt mind...they should be connecting with the club and the town..... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ST JOHNSTONE KITS ON SALE >>>> https://bitly.com/stjohnstone-clearance-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edited June 9, 2016 by MySpazz fazman1977 and Abernethy Saint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stands are too established as the North and East to be known as anything else, especially if it changes frequently. The only name change that'd work imho is if eg the East became the Tommy Wright Stand or another name that was close to Saints fans hearts.The change on the shirts, and kit in general, I'd envisage would be a move to more sponsors at a smaller cost to each.

Jiangsu Sainty Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Whoever the kit sponsor is they must in place or nearly in place as the opportunity isn't listed on the available sponsorship page Saints just listedStorrar's seems likely based on their own page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renaming stands does work. The reinforcement of the name would seep into the venacular of folk going to the ground. I am on the gate at a club in League One england with one of the terraces changing names every year. It soon gets recognized by the new name, and it's more conversational because people repeat it week in week out. We will note the shirt sponsor once....when it is revealed then not give a hoot. No one will make mention of it thereafter. Whereas naming a stand means that name (brand) gets repeated in various media throughout the year, and by 1000s of people who will mention where they sit, or will be sitting etc. It's a new thing, should have. Tommy Wright stand ...nah, name a suite after him. Sell the naming rights the stands - not the ground.As for sponsorship..... anyone but Megabus..... or as East Fife do, where they choose a sponsor via lottery (local firms put in 1000 to be in the draw) - they got around 25 firms this year. Not bad! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ST JOHNSTONE KITS ON SALE >>>> https://bitly.com/stjohnstone-clearance-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edited June 9, 2016 by MySpazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
