Guest malandro Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 However despite all this my professional opinion is that we won't be able to prevent planning permission being granted. Good. Last thing we ought to be doing is trying to close down revenue streams for the club. How much money do you see this bringing in? No idea. Have a guess. Why? I haven't got a clue what this kind of advertising might be worth to the right company. Obviously the club thinks it's enough to be worth the bother. As long as we're still making a loss, whatever comes in, is good. I don't see the problem. Its just a few advertisements, isn't it? Would you like a Sports Direct Billboard erected outside your house? It isn't his f***ing house though is it? So fucking what? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzieMandias Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 As it happens, one side of the building I live in has a huge billboard advertising something that really pisses me off. Doesn't particularly bother me that the billboard is there, though. Only notice it when I'm at the bus stop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 OTT reaction here, if anyone owned a business they would advertise it heavily around whatever property they owned within reason. It's 6 signs that's it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we're still making a loss, whatever comes in, is good. It is going to be Sports Direct based on what is included in the application. Therefore sponsorship won't get sold to anyone. Nah, that'll just be a placeholder. They're obviously hoping to sell the space. I look at these applications every day, and this is for a fixed design. Show us (or quote us or whatever) the bit that says that. I can see why planning permission is needed to erect a billboard. I'd need some convincing that every design it was used to display required a further, separate permission. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are applying for red and blue letters on a white background for each one. The pictorial one would have to be agreed with the council as a planning condition. You know Argos changed all their signs recently for a modern design? These all had to have new planning permissions and were verysimilar to the planning application we see here.

I'll take your word for it. Seems weird, though. How could they ever sell the naming rights, if use of the buying company's logo was subject to subsequent planning permission? In determining advertisement consent applications the local authority can only take into account 'amenity' and 'public safety'. The content of the sign can not be considered. So, unless for reasons of amenity or public safety a condition restricting the detailed design of the sign has been attached to the consent (which I have personally never seen done), and as long as the size/illumination of the sign does not change, the content can be changed without consent.

Dave Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 It will be filth direct, low payment maxiumum advertising space, with little in it for NUFC itself. We'll be having none of that realistic approach here mate. Only "buy the club if you're not happy" shite! lol Be fair mate, it's a cracking response.
