Title: You heard it here first.... Post by: my-velocity on Friday, November 24, 2006, 12:19:01 ....Nationwide will have ended their sponsorship deal with swindon and northhampton at the end of the season.
Who ever said Honda will sponsor us, good shout. Title: You heard it here first.... Post by: stfc_steve on Friday, November 24, 2006, 12:21:04 yer honda would be a good sponsor, what about poundland?? :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:
Title: You heard it here first.... Post by: Piemonte on Friday, November 24, 2006, 12:26:31 Not really fussed who the sponsor is as long as they pay a similar figure to Nationwide.
Farepak? :wink: Title: You heard it here first.... Post by: genf_stfc on Friday, November 24, 2006, 12:27:13 thank fuck for that - tried to open an account with those bastards a few weeks ago and they refused me, even though i didn't want an overdraft...
Title: You heard it here first.... Post by: Piemonte on Friday, November 24, 2006, 12:33:40 I blame VD85 for this
Title: You heard it here first.... Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, November 24, 2006, 14:57:50 I blame Bennett
Title: You heard it here first.... Post by: mattboyslim on Friday, November 24, 2006, 15:04:32 I want Arkells as a sponsor! Nice big 3B logo on the front of my shirt!
Title: You heard it here first.... Post by: janaage on Friday, November 24, 2006, 15:07:46 The TEF should sponsor it, I think the tag line sum's up the club well.
Title: You heard it here first.... Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Friday, November 24, 2006, 15:08:48 I think it was a pretty pathetic deal anyway wasn't it? I think there are almost certainly Conference clubs with better deals.
Title: You heard it here first.... Post by: my-velocity on Friday, November 24, 2006, 15:18:02 I would love to see a big company like Honda sponser us, they would put a bit of money in the club and will help the club out so much i think. I think this is because of Martin Staynes wanting a new sponsor. Fair play really.
Onwards and upwards for the town :D Title: You heard it here first....

Haven't they stopped sponsering Northampton aswell? Probably because they nolonger sponser the football league. Title: You heard it here first....

Title: You heard it here first.... Post by: millom red on Friday, November 24, 2006, 15:59:53 It's because they (nationwide) want to focus sponsorship on the 4 national sides. This was announced months ago iirc.

"Although we must now secure a new sponsor, it is great to know that we will continue to have a healthy dialogue with Nationwide going forward!" Huh? how does that work then if they've ended their sponsorship with us? Title: You heard it here first....

To be fair the the VAT wizard I think she probabbly means match / ball sponsorship or corporate entertaining and stuff like that. sponsorship on a smaller scale. or, the way things are going, the nationwide conference... ahhh, i jest. i think it was a reasonably good deal that we had with them, and was re-negotiated when we were league 1 so any new deal will probably be inferior (though having said that i know fuck all about sponsorship deals) Title: You heard it here first....

Didnt I post this weeks ago? Meh, already knew this.... Title: You heard it here first.... Post by: reeves4england on Friday, November 24, 2006, 21:00:06 The unthinkable has happened! We will no longer have the blue box across our shirts!!!
I have only ever had Swindon shirts with Nationwide written on them so this is a big thing for me! I hope the next sponsor doesn't have some ridiculous logo that will ruin our strip, althouhg maybe there are slightly more important factors to consider! Title: You heard it here first.... Post by: DiV on Friday, November 24, 2006, 21:08:04 Nationwide paid peanuts for the sponsership anyway.
Infact another company will come in and probably pay more Title: You heard it here first....

I'm interested to know how much effect the withdrawal of this sponsorship deal will have on the finances if nobody else comes in? Title: You heard it here first.... Post by: The_Plagiarist on Friday, November 24, 2006, 23:20:16 why would nobody else come in? are you suggesting we'd become the only club in the 92 to not have a shirt sponsor?
no mark Title: You heard it here first....

Nationwide is actually quite a cool brand and an inherently implicit name to have on the front of your players' shirts. Sure, we could have "Johnston's Paints" for 2/6 a year (that's two shillings and six old pence for younger readers). But the brand is all in this day and age. I think it is a sad loss tbh. How many other nationals - or multinationals - are going to pour dosh into Swindon Town Football Club given today's news? What on-the-ball business wants to put sponsorship money into an unaccountable black hole? Ok then, I'll pop down to Rodbourne and have a word with the owner of Ron's Stores. I'm sure he will go a fiver for a year's worth... :roll: PS are you calling me a "no mark" by the way? Title: You heard it here first....

Post by: DiV on Saturday, November 25, 2006, 13:05:01 yup, its obvious this was around the corner, see was Nationwide have ploughed alot more money into the England National team.
They had to cut back somewhere, but again it was not alot of money at all.... Title: You heard it here first.... Post by: my-velocity on Saturday, November 25, 2006, 17:46:47 They are going to still sponsor Halifax though as they've just started to sponsor them.

What's the point of ploughing money into a side who every time they play they look like their out of their depth, never played together before, seem to forget their managers instructions. They've wasted too much money supporting them in my honest opinion. They should stick to sponsoring Swindon and ditch England!!! Title: You heard it here first....
