thomas Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 @virginmoney: We're really pleased to confirm that Virgin Money has signed a new 2 year shirt sponsorship deal with Newcastle United #NUFC ^AS I assume that 2 years means the 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 seasons? The rest of this season probably isn't counted as that was already paid for by Northern Rock. It's not like our shirt sponsor could expire in January 2014. Correct. So another 2.5 years stuck on much less sponsorship than our forward thinking rivals are getting. How do you know how much money is involved? You can have a general idea though given that it is the same company, who have a littered financial history, and our MD only left himself two months to sell the sponsorship. It's not the same company; it's the same bank, which is now owned by a much larger company, and it is that larger companies brand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Why? We've changed sponsors mid-season, which has resulted in an unplanned change to an existing, mass produced, kit. No, it doesn't look great. But it serves a purpose. The people crying about it will be the first in line at the club shop tomorrow. Bet i'm not, the local club shop nearest to me only does Southend United shirts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Not like James to look too much into things. You'd imagine that when they bought out NR they had the option of cancelling or committing to any contracts they had, and are simply continuing this one.

Does it still say St. James' Park outside..? BBC Newcastle called it the SDA last night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
