Not bad really, we wouldn't get this much in sponsorship if we didn't do it this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This of course that would be a terrible thing and when N-Gaged, a company run by Dunford and another no-mark Rovers director, won the first shirt sponsor raffle it must have been complete coincidence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter whether they are multinational or not to me. There was a article a few years back when we first did it about how we raised more in sponsorship than at the time premiership clubs Bolton and Wigan. Wigan were sponsored by 188Bet that year I believe and received £50,000, we were sponsored by N-Gaged(fix) and received £85,000. The main thing is that we raise a lot more than the majority if not all League 2 & 1 clubs by doing this and a lot more than if we sought out a individual sponsor directly. As for being sponsored by a boozer, you lot like laugh but it doesn't bother me. Local business that took their chance in the draw, at-least their logo looks decent on the shirts compared to some of the crap we've had in recent years! Now being sponsored by Vanarama... it sends shivers down my spine just thinking about it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course for us there's always the chance that you will ironically get sponsored by a shit tip and then we get to win too.

redfred Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Local derby; five games left; two points off automatic promotion. Surely, surely that means a sell-out today by the self-proclaimed greatest supporters in the world. But no, it isn't. Compare and contrast with our season of disappointment and a bigger stadium to fill and yet 95% of our games still sold out. Rovers - know your place. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they don't understand is that constantly prattling on about attendances can make them look very silly when they are unable to sell-out a game of this magnitude, whatever division they are in. Especially with them having such a small capacity to fill. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinCider Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Well, we're just get to laugh at them next season as L1 is a lot harder than L2 and they're likely to go straight back down. Unless of course the Bill Gates of the Middle Eastern banking world buys them a brand new squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Dog ****** has done a phenomenal job. Back to back promotions nailed on, and the achievement can only be credited.

That said, it depends what sort of deal they get offered. Apparently last time it was a KFC bargain bucket family deal to share, with Wally being a gazzillionare, he might push the boat out and go to Boots for the meal deal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Whilst there might be a hint of disappointment on here if Rovers secure a second promotion, who can forget the joy that was their open top bus tour. It was the outpatients at Dignitas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our place is historically one League below you, and it looks good for now. Love him or mock him, our manager seems to be doing a great job. Could it be three promotions in a row?
