davieG Posted 7 December 2005 Share Posted 7 December 2005 Nicked this from outfoxed of the FoxFanzine Forum I was at the birmingham v west ham game monday night when repka got booked it came over the tannoy that the yellow card for repka is sponsored by such and such company. also everytime they made a substitution that was also sponsored by certain local companies. i'm amazed city have not cottoned onto this.

lookwhaticando Posted 7 December 2005 Share Posted 7 December 2005 That can't be real - Yellow cards sponsored by local companies? That's gotta be among the most ridiculous sponsorship schemes ever, it just can't be real. "And tonights red card for violent conduct was brought to you by Halfords" (Halfords - just the place to buy objects that could potentially be used for violent purposes, such as a hand pump ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durnerz Posted 7 December 2005 Share Posted 7 December 2005 Haha that's hilarious! They should have had Wolves fans sponsored by a Local Library or "right guard" there was silence and a funny smell when we went to Molineaux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Nicky Posted 7 December 2005 Share Posted 7 December 2005 They had that at Burnley "so and so is replacing so and so sponsored by blank". Wow what a great memory I have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted 7 December 2005 Share Posted 7 December 2005 Hmm. I wonder what happens when no-one gets booked for a few games, do the companies complain? Or do you think the club gets paid per ad, so wants it's players to get booked? <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you think the club gets paid per ad, so wants it's players to get booked? <_< no i reckon a company would pay say £25.000 a season for every game every booking to read out there name after it,.. some games people will be walking home with the name ringing in their ears like sheff yoo but others you wouldnt get a mention.. works out the same over t'hole season though dunt it like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thracian Posted 7 December 2005 Share Posted 7 December 2005 Danny Tiatto - sponsored by Brute (sorry Brut). Rab Douglas (sponsored by British Airways) -----always flapping. Nils (sponsored by the Eurovision Song Contest) Dion Dublin (sponsored by King Kong - or something very similar) Richard Stearman (Rastafarian Drivers Club) MDV (Hotpoint) Elvis (The King) Gareth Williams (Rest Assured) Joey (Duracell) Ryan Smith (Paul Daniels) I'm sure there's loads more. It all sounds a great idea to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syston_fox Posted 8 December 2005 Share Posted 8 December 2005 The team from a few years ago could be sponsored by Enron..... well the words bankrupt and collapsing (middlesbrough away in our case) spring to mind with both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's gotta be among the most ridiculous sponsorship schemes ever, it just can't be real. "And tonights red card for violent conduct was brought to you by Halfords" ... Wouldn't such deals would encourage more bookings (so as to secure a higher income)?!?!?! In that case, I would encourage Leic city to accept sponsorship on bookings affecting the opposition only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
