cubaricho Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Why are people worrying their arses that the "Newcastle United" is being pulled down permanently? Havent we already been told it is being replaced with IDENTICAL lettering? The question/worry is will there be more SD shit plastered up next to it? Why use logic and common sense when you can just complain about everything? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Best retort to any completely unforgivable branding (I know, I know, more unforgivable than trying to change the name of the ground and splashing his logo on the roof of the Gallowgate) would be guerilla tactics of having people scattered around the ground at random intervals unfurling banners over his hoardings reading "Sweatshop Direct.com" "JJB Sports" and "JD Sports". Calling him a Fat Cockney Bastard and telling him to fuck off is water off a duck's back, he cares far more about his brand than his personal popularity. Interesting idea an do-able surely? Would last about two seconds before the stewards are told to actual do something. And while they're all busy doing that, out comes one somewhere else Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Randy Savage Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Mackem in peace My father in law is a mag and I was thinking of getting him a ticket to a game for one of the nicer areas of the ground (sic ;o) ) for Christmas. I'm not talking about full-on hospitality or owt; I was thinking a ticket to a fans bar sort of thing. Something like the Black Cats Bar or Sports Bar at the Stadium of Light. Could anyone give me an idea of what sort of options there are at SJP and whether they are worth the money. I had a quick google search and I seemed to find the following options: Sovereign Bar Bar 1892 Black and White Bar Platinum Club Sports Bar Any of the above decent? What are they exactly? Much appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Bar 1892 is behind is in the Leazes behind the goal. Rest are in the Milburn. Platinum and Sovereign you get some bait before the game IIRC too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only one in the Sir John Hall stand/Leazes, and its just called 'The Sports bar'.

Turnbull2000 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Club sponsored by owner - club receives money - owner sponsors cheaply to save money – therefore owner has more money – therefore club receives more sponsorship = infinite sponsorship money.

Stifler Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Club sponsored by owner - club receives money - owner sponsors cheaply to save money – therefore owner has more money – therefore club receives more sponsorship = infinite sponsorship money. Problem? Kind of yeah, isn't it now against income rules as technically owners could create £bn sponsorship deals in order for them to actually afford world class players, ala Man City? I'm sure it's against UEFA's and the FA new rules. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem? Yeah I kind of thought that with the company's majority shareholder also owning the football club and in leui of any higher bidders that they may be offered preferable rates.

Guest TheSummerOf69 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 isn't it now against income rules as technically owners could create £bn sponsorship deals in order for them to actually afford world class players, ala Man City? I'm sure it's against UEFA's and the FA new rules. Everything on the books sponsorship-wise will be judged for the new "fair play rules" and isn't allowed to be much higher than the going rate, so that the billionaire owners of Chelsea and Man City can't hide funding by paying over the odds for sponsorship. Our billionaire owner is getting his sponsorship dirt cheap and obviously has no intention of putting any more money in than he has to, so that won't affect us one iota.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Stuff like the Man City sponsorship will be a massive challenge to Financial Fair Play, and I basically think it will render the whole thing pointless. Unless they can ban sponsorship by companies related to the club owners (conflicts of interest, you could argue) how can they say what the fair market value of sponsorship is? Just like how companies move money around to avoid tax, they will use creative accounting to get enough money into the club to sustain their crazy spending. Who's to say that Man City's bins aren't worth £100m to a sponsor? I wish FFP would curb the crazy spending in football, but I can see clubs like Man City making a mockery of it.

Colocho Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 £47,000 is an absolute insult. Who are our other main sponsors aside from Northern Rock, Puma and Sports Direct? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mucky01 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 From NUFCFansUtd: "The most recent accounts showed £47,000 from Sports Direct was paid to NUFC for the “sponsorship” arrangements." that’ll probably be the cost of manufacturing and installation of all the SD.com tat. in other words NUFC get nothing for being sponsored, whereas other clubs get millions.

Dr Venkman Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I doubt that the benefits to Sports Direct are that massive, and the effect on their profits will be smaller still. It's good advertising for them of course, but it's just a small part of their promotional campaigns. It's certainly not worth paying £200m for. i think he's in the process of seeing that it is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Naively, I thought you meant that he was trying to increase the exposure of the club so that his branding would be seen more annoyance disapproval disdain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
