Toon in new talks with Northern Rock

Published Date: 30 December 2009

By Andy Hughes

 

NEWCASTLE United is in talks with mortgage lender Northern Rock about renewing a major sponsorship deal.

 

The bank's seven-year contract with the club is one of many deals due to run out at the end of the season.

 

Despite a turbulent couple of years for Northern Rock, a spokesman confirmed it is in talks with club bosses about extending its sponsorship deal.

 

It is believed the club has received more than £25m in shirt and ground sponsorship from Northern Rock.

 

A Northern Rock spokesman said: "It is correct that the deal is up at the end of the season, and we are talking about the issue with the club.

 

"No final decision has been made but there are on-going discussions."

 

In November, the club brought in Liverpool-based marketing specialists Ampersand to help with the new round of sponsorship deals, with the main focus being a new shirt sponsor.

 

Though it's good to have a local shirt sponser I really don't want them to sponsor us anymore, I mean it's common knowledge that Virgin Money is going to buy them out, and I just couldn't handle the word Virgin on my shirt.

 

NR has split into 2 companies this week so even if they do buy one half, the other half of the company (with the safe mortgages and savings accounts) will remain as Northern Rock plc

No, Northern Rock Plc (the good bank with branches etc) is the one that will be sold, the other one will be owned by the government.

Maybe they will do the same like Adidas have done with the new Germany shirt: They have put 2 shirts to choose for the players - one of them skin tight, the other usual sized. Good idea but I doubt Puma will do the same.

We do need to get that Yellow and black combo going again, it really works well.

 

Funny how high Puma are putting the badges, they keep getting higher and higher, they'll be on the shoulder soon.

Does losing the adidas sponsorship deal mean that we have to change the kit immediately to the Puma one (assuming they've definately got the deal now)?

 

Presumably the deal runs to the end of a particular season, although i've heard some people talking about the new kit being implemented as soon as possible.

It will start when the Adidas one runs out, so yes, kind of immediately.

Well no, the Adidas deal runs out at the end of the season not right now.

That was the point I was making.

 

I've heard it mentioned that we would have to start wearing the new kit immediately, but I was certain all sponsorship deals were season-long.

 

Be a nice little money maker for Fat Ashley if we all had to go and buy new shirts now wouldn't it haha.
