Quote ="mikej"When they came on board I was told Emirates want to be the clubs TOTAL sponsor, Stadium, kit , personnel. The lot. It would give them a big presence in a little town (in relation to their operations, we are). It will also allow them to link in with future operations expansion from Manchester airport. They can "sell" the local involvement.
For a short period, we had the "tru-Vape South Stand". It cause much discussion amongst the fans and the deal ended recently (either due to the poor image it was setting or the fact that TruVape could afford the sponsorship any more ........ both reasons I heard). Saints have had ecig sponsors for a while so either TotallyWicked have a load of money, loads of Saints fand have taking to vaping so it makes the advertising worth while, or its not a very big value contract.'"
The south stand debacle was timed around the time a certain employee left. Fair play to Roger and the board they sorted that out at the earliest opportunity.
