The New Sponsors

[Whispering_Jack 30,197]

She is asking a question and likes using emoticons.

Other than that - you're on your own...

Maybe she thinks I'm Johnny Farnham?

Maybe she thinks I'm Johnny Farnham?

Could be.

It could also be that she thinks you are a member of the 80s band Rush.

Until we get it deciphered we won't know.

'Out to teach. Also think of a new word today, although the actual done before, but then did not think that word. This semester has put it better than before, where a more complete system, the logical framework more clearly some, there are insufficient places than ever before when they encounter problems affecting the lectures effect, there are many ideas are not well implemented, Therefore, teaching himself to play 80 this semester. Six months after the lecture, should be better? :)'

Obviously training at that altitude makes you higher than Joe Cocker!

Definitely no interest from Bank of Melbourne. Horse's mouth.

Hmmm....still wondering who our other Major Sponsor will be?

I'll put my faith in Cameron Schwab to deliver the goods and find the MFC a big Chinese company for us though.

I phoned the demon shop this morning to find out when the new NB gear is available to buy and they told me not until the new second sponsor is announced in January!

I wonder, is it a fact or just hoping we have one by then?

And who knew the blokes at the Demon Shop were so on top of the negotiations that Schwab is having...

[jayceebee31 761]

We have to take it on trust that the second sponsor is known internally and the new merchandise has to be produced to launch it similary at the same time as the announcement.

[drdrake 3,178]

Hopefully the deal has been signed and we are just waiting for the right time to announce. If the above it true we are just waiting until the new sponser is announced in January, the timing might be to kick of our membership campaign. To me it looks like we will start to drive our memberships early next year to date we haven't really had any real push unlike a few other clubs. We will hit 21,000 members before the christmas shut down and hopefully with the announcement of a new sponser and a successful NAB campaign we can push close to 40K by the start of the season.

You are way more trusting than me jayceebee31.

This has the smell of "there is no sponser yet"

If it looks like a duck?

But then it will probably be announced on Jan 9 and you will be correct.

Absolutely.

As if the Shop blokes know the ins-and-outs of the search for a major sponsor...

[Grimes is Great 183]

You would be suprised what they know!

Nothing signed yet but deal is on the cusp. Coming soon...

$$$ range?

I've always sussed out the views of Taxi drivers (the ones I can understand) Cleaners and the Tuck Shop ladies.

They always knew everything

Get in and get out hey!!

So, another week passes, and it would be imagined the week leading up to the 25th December wouldn't have any announcements (let's hope I'm wrong). Grimes is Great posted that nothing has been signed yet, but a deal is on the cusp. Well, how much longer until we see some ink?

The biggest issue I have is how much is it actually costing us by not having someone else on board? How much would it be harming our merchandise sales, especially when you want to buy your kid a Melbourne jumper for Christmas at near on $100 a pop. You could always try the line on Christmas morning about how Santa told me that he is getting a new jumper, but has to wait for it, but I don't think that would go down too well!

Then, what is the standard up-front cost of a sponsorship. Would we be investing this money and earning interest on it? It may not be much, but you don't go broke making a profit.

Like everyone, which no doubt includes the Club, I hoped we had this laid to rest by now, but it looks like we won't be starting the 2012 year with a new company for us to support.

Perhaps the $2m a year price tag is putting some investors off?

Agree. It certainly takes the gloss off the positive financial outlook set out in our Annual Report.

[Rich Demon 5]

According to today's email, jumpers ordered now should be available in late Feb.

[Arrow 1,257]

All in all, pretty disappointing for mine. I understand we are looking for the best deal and shouldn't rush to simply sell jumpers, but it does come across poor to the supporters who'd love a new one or to buy one as a gift and even more so to the outer public who see only 2 clubs- Melbourne and Port without a second major sponsor.

Agree with it, but tbh i dont need a new jumper until the NAB... it would be nice earlier but i can wait
