SteveMc Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 The money gained from this advertising could well be covering Ben Arfa's proposed loan fee. If that was the case would people look upon it more favourably. Said another way - if we get some more decent players in and the club is seen to be going forward then I would hope people would complain about this less.

Guest Brummiemag Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 The fcb just goes from one act of idiocy to another. SJP will look like a tacky superstore not a true football stadium - and the heartbeat of a city in many peoples eyes. Yes and Ashley wouldn't understand that. Its an old saying but Ashley is the sort of bloke who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money from this deal may be used to pay kiosk staff or Llambias expense account. Does anyone think SportsDirect are paying money for there signs at max I reckon its mates rates, reality says fuck all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone think SportsDirect are paying money for there signs at max I reckon its mates rates, reality says f*** all. I think you miss my point - if the club as a whole is seen to be ambitious and procure decent players then I'd say people would be less inclined to criticise this kind of move. Their analysis of the unknowns (as lets face it - we know cock all) will be much more favourable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thenorthumbrian Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 The fat cockney b*****d just does not get that fact that cheap ,grotesque advertising on St James' Park is not needed or wanted. He goes from one blunder to another, St James' Park means more than just another football ground to so many people, to many it's the heartbeat of the city. Would advertising of this type on the Theatre Royal, St Nicholas' Cathedral, the Tyne Bridge, the Castle Keep, Grey's Monument and other great Newcastle landmarks even be considered for a second ?

Wallace Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 By sticking up advertising boards around SJP, will there be increased awareness of sportsdirect.com as a brand? At what point does the advertising reach saturation point because at the moment everywhere you look you see that logo? There must come a point where it is no longer effective because it is so familiar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are being applied for as examples, the sports direct logo if it does go up (which I doubt, whoever puts up the cash will get the spots) will be temporary.

If any of them were loss-making private businesses in a cash-hungry sport that depended on sponsorship for revenue then probably yeah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ7 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Does the company actually pay for the sponsorship, or is it just that Ashley owns the club so he just puts the Sports Direct signs up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 a load of fuss about absoloutely nowt this. Although I was angry over the naming of the stadium which hasn't happened. I don't have a problem with this. SportsDirect are a partner at the club, thus they want their own Advertising around the place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Big deal over nowt. It's just advertising. The stadium next to the one that used to be called Highbury is absolutely plastered with corporate advertising for Emirates and even named after them (whatever next !) and it's one of the best looking arenas in Europe. Just sounds like a few Newcastle fans being up their own arse again about how special THEIR stadium is. (Which of course it is) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I still vehemently hate the signs and the concept of renaming of the stadium (which is clearly not the same thing as building a new one with funds from a single main sponsor). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite possibly, because i'm sure they would rather have people paying for this kind of advertisement/sponsorship deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
