BP1960 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Now that's what you call sponsorship, if non league clubs can do it why cant we? We are delighted to announce an amazing new sponsorship deal of £750,000 across 5 years with Romanian-owned civil engineering company, SF Stefan. Massive thanks to the incredible Stefan Voloseniuc & all at SF Stefan for making this happen and securing FC Romania's future ! https://t.co/xJIdcNgbrP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miraculously announced a week or so after it was announced the club (only formed in 2006 and with no ground of its own) would close. I'd venture to guess that there is a connection between the owner/manager and the sponsor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d probably end up with Phil Brown as manager I think Hull may have got too big for him to run. Just like Ridsdale at Leeds and Mandric at Portsmouth. I think we are the type of club for someone like him to take forward to the championship for the opportunity of bigger investors. One can dream.

LaticMark Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 If a League 1 club like Wigan - who I think still own 85% of their stadium - is not worth £4m, how much is Latics worth? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54234369 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a few weeks ago, a chap on Twitter run a poll and had over 100 respondents - think the lowest £ contribution stated was £1,000 and some were significantly higher. I don't reckon we could raise £500k overnight but maybe could attract pledges of around £150,000k - £200,000K and sell season tickets 2,000 @ £250 = £500,000K (season ticket holders who may return if the Lemmies go) Looks tough, probably pie in the sky but got to think positive IF we ever get the opportunity & Lemmies go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
