Guest Eleven Donkeys Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I wonder if shit.direct will be paying £3m for half a season’s publicity. I doubt it, given that they only paid a reputed one off fee of £40k for defacing the Gallowgate. It’s clear where this is heading. Nobody would pay £6m a year for a prefix. Come September it’ll be... “Mike has tried his best to sell the naming rights to St James Park without success. Regrettably this means there is no money for squad strengthening. However, shit.direct has kindly agreed to let the club use their name to demonstrate the benefits of renaming the ground until a buyer for the naming rights is found. To make these rights more attractive St James Park will be shortened to SJP, giving the stadium the name shit.direct@sjp.co.uk, which is also the web address for Lonsdale’s new online store where supporters can exclusively purchase the new replica kit. Fans who wants a kit without the sports world logo can have it removed for £100.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5908 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Im not sure why MAs business would have to pay MAs football club anything tbh. He can plaster it in his own logo's all he wants, it wont be making him any money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eleven Donkeys Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I'm not normally a conspiracy theorist but given the fans furore to date over proposed naming rights I really do believe that Llambias' latest "FCBschavtasticclobber@SJP" clarification is both a deliberate attempt to further wind-up the fans and might also turn out to be what ultimately happens when no other firms express an interest. That’s exactly what it is. But don’t worry, NUST will ride to the rescue in 2050 with a £60m offer for the club the FCB is never going to turn down.

I’d imagine the reputed 40k was roughly equivalent to the cost of erecting the signage on the Gallowgate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia 0 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 (edited) You can look at this either one of two ways: 1) They're doing this to wind the fans up more by just tacking on a company name to the front and making it sound utter shite. 2) They've seen the backlash the potential renaming has caused and this is a partial climbdown. Either way this should pour fuel on the fire of any potential protests for Saturday. Edited November 3, 2009 by Ketsbaia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isegrim 8870 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Honestly, who is advising these baffoons? This name is just ridiculous and just totally wrong for so many reasons. I am not sure how good the idea is to use the name of a brand as an example that now is even more likely to get boycoutted. Simpletons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
