fan of the juniors Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 What local clubs was it ? Most clubs would bite your hand off for sponsorship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtg1971 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 on friday morning I emailed the secretaries of 2 local clubs looking to take out an advertising board, basically give me a price and I will give you readies. I is now tuesday morning and I have had no calls, emails or anything. I know it isnt a life changing sponsorship deal but the 2 clubs claim to be community based and my organisation is at he heart of the community so i thought the start of a good relationship thoughts we will take your money no problem at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardenvohr6 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 An organisation at the heart of the community turns out to be a political party..... Whilst it is up to every individual club where they find funding, and my own has ads in the programme from msps, perhaps others may find it necessary to discuss it at committee level and even to sound out their support as to whether they want to accept your business. Even at that they could at least acknowledge your e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But are they technically not against SFA/FIFA articles about promoting political views etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenconner Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Political parties/local MPs/MSPs/councillors and football teams. Nothing new with this. Partick Thistle had an advert in the ground for the local Labour MP for years. Sure Broadwood had an advert for the SNP two weeks ago. Although don't know if that's Clyde or the Colts. Thorniewood Juniors have an SNP advert. I'd be curious who would say no to a mainstream local party and why. Even better if they would come here and let's us know.

tommyboy Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Why does everyone assume that the Scots Nats are involved? Isn't it possible that the guy's an official of the resurgent Strathclyde Nazi Party? Good wee song,btw .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hertha/BJFC1938 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I think Kenneth already has one at valefield, our branch is basically Ardrossan and Saltcoats, now knowing how boards work, you make a few quid in year 1 due to the cost of the board itself but beyond that assuming the board is undamaged it is basically straight profit. Now say £100 a year, that is £400 in profit, okay not a life changing sum, it wont buy a 3g pitch but it would buy some grass seed or a ffew gallons of paint for the ground Although I dont go to games now due to personal reasons I am still a supporter of junior football and we want to put something in. Yes the board would say Ardrossan SNP proud to support Winton Rovers/Saltcoats Victoria but numerous political people have taken advertising at their local ground, yes it is a donation and yes it is us as a branch saying we want to be part of the community I could enquire if we've got a board at Beith and I'm sure we would be delighted with any help from any sponsor who would be kind enough to help donate to us . Times are tough and any help is great for junior clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Winton Rover Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Dear Former Winton Fan, speaking to a committee member at Ardrossan today and like all clubs they tend to discuss things at weekly committee meetings. Ardrossan have a large number of boards at Winton Park and always grateful to advertisers who support us. Having been to every junior ground in Ayrshire I do see there are a number of boards of various political parties Ardrossan Winton Rovers have not had one of these and it would only be right for their committee to discuss this before replying to you. Many of us at Winton Park know you Alan and are disappointed, but not surprised that you are sounding off that the club has not replied to you in your perceived time scales. We are also aware why you choose to stay from Winton Park, not on health grounds as you proclaim, but due to an unwarranted verbal and email attack on a club committee member last year. So before you do a disservice to another respected local community group within Ardrossan please give the club the courtesy of time to discuss and reply to you.
