Revolution Number 9 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Been really busy so haven't had the chance to get on here and rant about this fucking disgrace.

And People Sport understands that the firm’s world-famous swoosh trademark could be adorning Newcastle United’s old stadium and the team’s shirts in time for Christmas as part of a potential five-year agreement. Other leading US companies have expressed an interest since Toon owner, sportswear tycoon Ashley, announced that St James’ Park would be known as the Sports Direct Arena until new sponsors could be found. Financial experts have also talked up the likes of O2 and Virgin Money with the banking arm of Richard Branson’s empire taking over Newcastle shirt sponsors Northern Rock this week. But Nike – who employ 30,000 people globally – are the main contenders.

Stifler Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Here's an idea I came up with. Probably will be laughed off though. It could be a good opportunity for Virgin themselves and not limiting to just Virgin Money. They could perhaps form a partnership with NUFC and not just a sponsorship deal. Northern Rock a few years ago created the opportunity to let fans pay for their season tickets over a period of time thanks to their financing packages. It would be possible for Virgin Money to do that again. How about incentives for season ticket holders and club members? Free installation of Virgin Media services?, Cheaper flights with Virgin Atlantic? (some people on pprune seem to think Virgin will start services from Newcastle airport in 2013), cheaper contracts with Virgin mobile? How about NUFC create a channel like other clubs do and it's exclusive to Virgin Media? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
