Apple crumble cheesecake ffs. Who’d have ever thought you’d see that being sponsored.
Start spending some of the sponsorship money starting with the men’s bogs in the Dre like walking through a bog the amount of piss on the floor.
When i read the food n drink sponsorship for the up n coming shindig with the chair i had to do a double take and immediately thought of this thread.. there must come a point where the sponsorship crusade has to slow and fade (until next season)yet as i type the bog seats remain un sponsored and up for grabs thos tho the though of wading through all that piss to cut the ribbon isnt appealing.
On a slightly different light hearted note super fan and all round good egg Stuart Maw is auctioning his SUFC watch currently a bid of 5p is taking it as no reserve mentioned so get in there guys ..i am fully expecting future auction items to include a pair of his match worn underpants signed front n back which should get snapped up and framed for posterity.
Joking aside I do find it a tricky scenario, short term gain, cheapening of a product with a lack of long term strategy (and no doubt needed to settle debts) v a tempering of the need to sponsor everything, the commercial manager should take care of the product being offered, there comes a tipping point in the strategy (or lack of) that other things get forgotten whilst rushing around for money. By rights the grove wharf stand should’ve been closed on the opening home game, no lights and no running water in the toilets. Getting a local company to sort stuff like that out for a few match tickets is sound business. Charging £20 to read out a message for a young fan is commercially reckless, and when you chase the money like that you might treat those less able to offer financial support more dismissively.
