Player Sponsorship

[AustrianAndyGull]

As i'm ill and in bed i thought i'd have a browse through my football programmes. I could watch Eastenders at half ten but i'd rather stick sea urchins in my eyes. They have loads of pricks but not as many as on Eastenders.

Anyway, i read in our home programme v Northampton that TorquayFans.com sponsor Brian Saah i think it is and i wondered if you guys needed any donations to help. I'm happy to send a few quid, it won't be a lot as i have a low income for a family of 3 but every little helps i suppose. I would be happy to help give what little i can so can you guys let me know how this works and if you want me to send a small amount.

As i don't get to many home games i thought i could do a tiny bit of something to help with income and given the membership scheme thingy appears to be a total farce then i reckon contributing to player sponsorship is the way forward.

Cheers lads.

Also, do any of you as individuals sponsor a player and how much does it cost on average do you reckon?

This will sound really dopey, but I 'think' that I sponsor someone.

I might have been suckered in on this but I believe that I may have sponsored Martin Ling by way of a present, but I've never heard a dickybird from the club.

Being an exile I haven't actually made in to Plainmoor this season so haven't even been able to check out a programme to see if I'm mentioned. I'm prepared to believe that It was all a joke but for all I know, my face could be plastered on every wall and in every toilet in the place?

If someone can check out a programme for me then I'd be very grateful.

Martin Ling is sponsored by Liz Neal

That's Mrs Stratford.....thanks for that. Shame that we've heard absolutely diddly from the club then.
Slightly disappointing.

The TFF sponsor Brian Saah I know because I paid a part of it and it is my photo in the programme shaking his hand !!!

As already mentioned that is a different fans site by a similar name. Last person we sponsored was Colin Lee, so thought it was best not to do sponsorships again :P

That other forum slipped my mind Louis, i just saw the Torquay Fans Forum and thought it was this one so prompted me to post the thread. Not to worry now though. Cheers.

Just out of interest though, does anyone know how much roughly it costs to sponsor a player?

You thinking Billy Bodin Andy!!??

If it will make him play better then yeah! I'll even chuck in 4 cats and and my entire collection of Korn CD's too if it means he gets us to stay up!

i would say the least value for money deal =
the big screen - goal sponsorship - £2000 gets your advert/name shown on the big screen every time the gulls hit the back of the net at plainmoor.

not gonna see too much for 2 grand there are we.

The best one is definitely the throw-in sponsorship. A bargain, I say!

[Louis]

Half way through the season I wouldn't expect it to be full rates. Contact Dean Edwards if you are serious about a sponsorship, may be best waiting until the end of this season.

[AustrianAndyGull]

Will do Louis, there is no way i'm going to sponsor any of this rubbish squad anyway. Downes, Poke and Howe possibly, TFF already sponsor Saah and the rest i would be embarrassed at having my name linked with them. Perhaps i should wait for some new arrivals.
