Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: land_of_bo on Wednesday, June 6, 2007, 22:03:53 Quote from: "Lash_sumthin" a 5 year deal with these guys? :? Maybe not an exclusive 5 year deal though, meaning if something better came along they could be "back of the shirt" or "shorts" sponsors? Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: Lash_sumthin on Wednesday, June 6, 2007, 22:06:07 possibly what with their extensive use of the word exclusive in announcing the brunel deal it does beg the question
Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: mattyswinboy on Wednesday, June 6, 2007, 22:10:53 finally get to look at the new kits and decide wether ill be buying one.

Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: yeo on Wednesday, June 6, 2007, 22:48:48 Have they got a website?
My mate reckons Kingswood is 3 blokes who bought my local Pub and sold it on a bit ago.I cant find a website with a leaf. How queer Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: sonic youth on Wednesday, June 6, 2007, 22:51:20 http://www.kingswoodgroup.co.uk/transformyourhome.htm
Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: yeo on Wednesday, June 6, 2007, 22:54:32 hahah they tart up council houses
got to be a tie in with the redelopment :D Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, June 6, 2007, 22:58:14 I'd guess they will push their mortgage deals more...seen them advertising it in the adver a couple of times. I'm not really fussed about who our sponsor is.
They're audit exempt though, so turnover is below £5.6m. Small company. Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: RobertT on Wednesday, June 6, 2007, 22:59:03 "Obtain competitive specialised mortgage products for a PRC property (subject to status) even if you have any County Court Judgements or experienced Financial difficulties. "
You couldn't make this stuff up! Do these guys door to door? I seem to remember someone offering me this a few years back while I lived in my Moredon shit hole. Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: RobertT on Wednesday, June 6, 2007, 23:00:56 Stnaley was right all along, we're bringing them in to clad the ground and make it look new. I vote we go with this look:

Tinpot comes to mind. Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: Frigby Daser on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 06:33:50 Quote from: "Ralphy" Who in the cunts name are they anyway? Tinpot comes to mind. Going on the quality of th website, looks like Dave'n'Jim from down the road, y'know, the ones what built Rita's place...well, they've gone a got their names on the front of a football shirt. Frankly, I couldn't give a toss who the sponsor is - it doesn't matter does it. But it it quite funny how Bowden's super-corporate-mate-meganetwork has suddenly deserted him. Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 06:40:19 We were fortunate to pick up Nationwide during our better days, and they stuck with it, but most lower league sides have small or local companies who nobody's ever heard of. Which I guess is why they do it, to try nad raise their profile a bit.
Worked a treat for Isis, our first sponsor, they soon went bust. Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 07:02:45 I don't be-leaf it
Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: fatbury on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 07:35:51 hmmm such a surprise ... 8)
Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: Samdy Gray on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 07:47:15 Quote from: "fatbury" hmmm such a surprise ... 8) Fuck off Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: Give us an S on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 07:48:39 I wonder how much they are paying to sponsor us? And i wonder how that compares to what Nationwide paid?
Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: Sippo on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 07:52:00 £100k.
Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: Frigby Daser on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 07:58:14 Quote from: "Sippo" £100k. over 5 years not 3 years - going on the bbc article. No idea how that equates to others at this level - but 20k a year, less than £500 a week - thats a reserve team wage! Lets do a barcelona and put the spastics society or something n the front of our shirts Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: Give us an S on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 08:06:06 Quote from: "Sippo" £100k. I never read the article, thanks sippo! Any ideas what Nationwide were paying us? and what other clubs receive? Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: Bushey Boy on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 08:07:52 fucking hell I would have agreed a 5 year deal at 20k, thats a bargain!!!!
Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: Sippo on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 08:10:48 But is the 100k up front.......CVA. Hmmm. :-))( Desperate measures perhaps?
Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: Frigby Daser on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 08:28:58 Whatever it's purpose, up front makes most sense - 100k now put invested well is far more than that in 5 years time.
But the Bank of Mike may not see it that way Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: RobertT on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 08:35:38 Maybe we are moving grounds, were gonna buy a few terraced 3 beds in Penhill, knock them through, have a conservatory for the executive area and clad in the Cornish style? Parking could be an issue, we'll need to strike an investment deal with Millennium Block Paving to sort the drive out.
Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 08:51:27 Maybe Sandy asked what Kingswood do and when the reply was terraced, she thought "a good somebody to build our ground"
Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: magicroundabout on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 09:02:09 what happens if we get taken over by BP or the new investor. can we then fuck these guys off or are all these deals tied into the sale of the club etc?
i'm just thinking that the current board are doing there best to fuck the club over (even more) before they do one. Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: herthab on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 09:10:29 Quote from: "magicroundabout" what happens if we get taken over by BP or the new investor. can we then fuck these guys off or are all these deals tied into the sale of the club etc? i'm just thinking that the current board are doing there best to fuck the club over (even more) before they do one. How is this fucking the club over? We've got a deal that's comparable with most in league 1. I'm not pro board, but FFS! Everything they do is slagged off and it's becoming a joke. Constructive criticism is fine and raises valid concerns, but constantly moaning about everything that goes on is, imho, counter productive and clouds the real issues. Why would the consortium have got a better deal than this? Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: Sippo on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 09:13:33 Agree with Herthab on this one.
A lot of lower league teams use local companies for sponsorship. No-one knows what other sponsors came in. Is done now. what more can we do?

Constructive criticism is fine and raises valid concerns, but constantly moaning about everything that goes on is, imho, counter productive and clouds the real issues. Why would the consortium have got a better deal than this? many businesses have stated they wouldn't work with this current board etc. hence we have had to drag the barrel with an unknown company on a tin pot deal. how is £100k over 5 years sound business. it's not. Maybe for Kingswood yes but i'm imagining the board had to take what they could asap as time was running out and no other company wanted to be involved. Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: RobertT on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 09:19:05 I have absolutely no idea if this is a good or a bad deal for the club to be honest as I haven't a clue what other clubs get. It's a good deal for Kingswood I reckon though, £20k a year marketing cost and they get their name on the kit, advertising boards in the ground and a stand named after them close to a big local market for their services (The Parks).
I just find it mildly ironic given their line of business. Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: herthab on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 09:22:15 Yeah. I'm sure loads of National Companies would've been queuing up to be our sponsor if it wasn't for this board.
Imagine the cachet of being on the shirts of a 3rd Division Club................ It's not a tinpot deal. We aint in the Premiership or even the Championship. How many league 2 teams have big name sponsors? Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: janaage on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 09:23:39 You are having a laugh about naming a stand after the company surely?
FFS just call it Shrivvie Road and forget about the fucking Intel/Nationwide/South Stand. Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: magicroundabout on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 09:29:26 with this board in place we can't tell whether there are loads of businesses waiting to sponsor us or not. maybe when they leave we'll know.
i think it's a tinpot deal you don't. and i reckon about half the clubs have large sponsors Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: Batch on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 09:34:48 But even C*ty, league 1 promotion contenders were only sponsored by the yocal Bristol Trade Centre.
It's difficult to say if it's a good, bad or indifferent deal to be honest without knowing the average deal for the other lower league clubs (excluding the posh, who are an anomoly in this area). Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: RobertT on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 09:37:50 Quote from: "janaage" You are having a laugh about naming a stand after the company surely? FFS just call it Shrivvie Road and forget about the fucking Intel/Nationwide/South Stand. It was originally mentioned by the club it would be part of any sponsorship deal. Just been mnetioned by Paul D that it might in fact be 100k per year for 5 years, which would make it altogether a different prospect.

The Swindon Advertiser understands that both parties have agreed a five-year deal. Town bosses are set to unveil the Swindon-based company as their new sponsors at a press conference this morning. Kingswood Construction, based in South Marston Industrial Estate, take over from Nationwide, who have sponsored Town since 1997. Town’s previous deal with Nationwide as main sponsors of the club, lasted three years and came to an end last season. That deal was worth in the region of £100,000 and the Swindon Advertiser believes that Town bosses have negotiated a similar financial package with Kingswood but over a five-year term. Kingswood will take over the sponsorship of the club shirt and Nationwide stand. It is also understood that an option to extend the deal beyond the initial five-year period will be incorporated into the deal. The Advertiser also believes that one of the directors at Kingswood Construction, who specialise in reconstructing, is an avid Swindon Town supporter. that sounds like £100k over 5 years???? Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: RobertT on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 09:42:20 which was my reading, but I'm willing to wait for the actual deal to be confirmed.

Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: Frigby Daser on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 09:49:12 It all needs to be shifted up about 6 inches.
To be fair though, even if it was the perfect shirt, I'd probably still find some way of criticising the board for it. Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: Hexagon on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 09:49:29 How's that going to work on the away shirt then?

(thats how I know :) ) Title: Sponsor Announced Post by: RobertT on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 09:54:34 I'm just hoping the shirt was horribly the wrong size, otherwise everything is in the wrong place and it seems to point to Man Boobs while placing the sponsor and badge firmly on the beer gut.
