Well, it translates to, "Yes I have heard something, but I'm not going to break confidences." Rather than being upset at not knowing who it is, Sweepy, maybe you should be happy that we do have a shirt sponsor lined up?

You may have heard, but has everyone on the BU committee been consulted this time? lol ;)

It better not be Courage,because a few people won't bother turning up.Now if was Fullers that would be a different story.

Sounds like good news.

When can we expect to hear something through the official channels?:)

Do you want a long essay on the difference between BFC and BU and what "non-executive" means? :rolleyes:

Not particularly.

Being an executive was not my point anyway, and Edmundo knows that, for I hardly think the words "Edmund" and "executive" are often seen in the same sentence anyway. However, dear Eddy Baby always seems to know everything. Then he uses his insider knowledge to stamp his superiority on the board, with his little smilies, the "I know something you don't know" game, and the shooting down in flames of those less knowldgeable. Then Eddy Baby and Bish, amongst others, wonder why only four people show up to help out BU events.

Some people seem to be told what is going on at every turn (regardless of their status), and some people always seem to be the last to know, as I am sure David and Alan would testify! ;)

Let us stop being childish and concentrate on sorting out the mess Ron left.

Have to agree with all of the above...

blimey. even i`d watch the football if we signed him.

worth his considerable wieght in gold that man.

I don't "always know everything" as Sweepy claims and I'm not "shooting down in flames" anyone. Someone asked whether or not anyone knew anything about our shirt sponsor for next season. It so happens that I do. I could have said nothing and let everyone carry on speculating that we might not have one. I now wish I had.

Or at least that instead of saying ";)" I had said something like, "Don't worry, a sponsor has been lined up." But it amounts to much the same thing and I'm sure that I'd have received the same criticism.

What about turning your glare, Sweepy, on one of the people who you say are among the last to know anything? https://griffinpark.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17926

How much is The Tea Boy going to get paid for 'winning' this sponsership deal:idea:

£9000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Come on everyone lighten up. All Ed did was what a lot of people do on this site ie drop hints. If we have a new sponsor lined up thats good news. I presume will will only have to wait a few weeks before the news becomes official.;)
 

Sponsor ??

It may be that there is a sponser 'lined up' but the deal is not yet done.

It would be bad for the club if it were anounced that we were to have a particular sponser on our shirts and then deal didn't get signed.

Once it is signed and the cheque cashed, then the announcement will be made.

In the meantime, perhaps someone should open a book on who it will be. All proceeds going to BU?

My money is on a house builder:D

And no, I don't know anymore than the majority on this board, it is just a guess.

Not sure about gold, but at least the pie order for stripes will increase 10 fold!!! Anybody hazard a guess at how much more lager will be required.

I suspect the new sponsorship deal and the Gazza signing are dependent upon each other. Aparently Ed has heard that a local manufacturer of dentitsts chairs' has been lined up to have GP named after them if he signs. They are also going to arrange a far east promotional tour to Hong Kong so that we can get our shirts and their product back in the oriental market place. Similar to the recent Beckham promo apparently?

Just out of interest, what sort of money does a club of our size command for shirt sponsoship?

GMB had been paying us about £100k (figure given at the BU stripes meeting), although I believe this included ground sponsorship (i.e. the hoardings) as well.

It seems that we are likely to get less than this in the current climate. However, I'd say we'd be doing pretty darn well if we can get anything like £75k - I think the majority of Division 2 clubs get more like £50k (again a figure mentioned at the Stripes meeting I believe)...
 

Sponsor ??

Apparently although the new sponsors are paying us less than GMB, GMB will be continuing with some form of sponsorship & the nett effect will be about the same, that's what I heard at the BIAS meeting (& it was me who asked the question there if anyone was wondering what I looked like!).

What p!ssed me off was seeing Wycombe have apparently signed a £100k + deal for their shirts, if this is true then why the **** are they a more attractive proposition for shirt sponsors than we are? They're sh*te & we're a community club who will be getting a lot of press coverage for the fact.

So does anyone actually know who will be sponsoring us or are you all just pissing about????

They've had to include renaming their ground after their new sponsors which is why it is as high as £100k..............

That was the impression I got too.

We will be getting a similar amount of money as we have in previous years.

GMB were the club sponsors I believe and will remain a sponsor in some regard but someone else will sponsor the kit for a reduced amount to what GMB have paid in recent years.

Having a shirt sponsor will bring around 50-60k a year I think, which has got to be good news, whether it is public knowledge currently, or not.

tsk, tsk, such bitterness...sh*te that beats you 4-0, anyway. And that's how your team rewards a 26-mile walk. rofl
 

Sponsor ??

fair point.

Anyway, purely on sponsorship terms, like it or not, Wycombe are about as attractive a proposition as Brentford, as the two clubs have a similar-sized fanbase, similarly low media profiles, and similarly mediocre performance (at least going on last season).

Ah, but we'd cunningly placed a large free spread bet (as a result of a sponsorship deal for the walk) on a Wycombe victory, thus earning the supporters' trust £850 odd! ;)

"What p!ssed me off was seeing Wycombe have apparently signed a £100k + deal for their shirts, if this is true then why the **** are they a more attractive proposition for shirt sponsors than we are?"

Might have evidence their fans are wealthier on average than us and younger so capturing a "better" market? I don't know anything about Wycombe so I'm guessing. Also could have more opportunities and services e.g. the sponsors get a corporate box.

Dont know about wealthier fans? And I cant stand Wycombe.
But i must confess, I was very impressed with there stadium, which has also got room for further development.

I think the council limits their capacity to 10k because of the atrocious access. So they will have to pay to get the road upgraded before they can develop I guess.
