Aviva No Longer Associated With The Club.

Twelve years as a main sponsor and then a partner to end with Ben Kensell expressing disappointment. In the current climate that is going to be a difficult financial hole to fill.

He could hardly say that he was delighted, could he?😉

 

I've not a clue how much they stump up as a Primary Partner; any ideas? 

 

Of course, BK could have something in the pipeline? 🤷‍♂️

Probably another cheap and nasty betting company. Then again it is a problem for football as a whole rather than one  club in particular.

Some ethics are needed.

That's a bit harsh, I always liked building their model planes.😀

I don't recall him expressing disappoint when the Leo Vegas  sponsorship ended and no i have no idea how much a Primary partner stumps up but i would suggest it is an amount that will be difficult to replace as companies will be watching every single penny once coronavirus has gone and football sponsorship will be bottom of the pile.

I can't imagine this sponsorship was worth a huge amount given what it was for. I believe it was coming to an end anyway. No doubt it will be referred to if we end up pleading poverty but I don't think its anything more than Aviva cutting back on non essential spend.

That may be so Jim but where every pound is a prisoner in our self funding model this is something we could well do without during this current situation. To find a replacement will be hard and even as Duncan stated BK has something in the pipeline there could well be a rethink from whoever it is.

Yes but if it was coming to an end anyway this is really just them confirming they won't be renewing. Obviously not ideal but not convinced its a hammer blow to the finances.

iMO we look on Aviva favorably because it was once “our” Norwich Union, carrying the flag for our region. That all changed and even though the logo still has a hint of the city in it, it’s just another company now to my mind, Unfortunate that they don’t value a relationship with NCFC anymore, but they’re getting good exposure from sponsorship of rugby and so “goodbye”....

Such a shame in my mind that the biggest employer the Fine City has ( 5,000 ) cannot be kept within our family in some way, shape or form.

Have no idea about the details of this. But it's something we might see more and more of while football is so obsessed with other people's money and taking money from whatever source it's offered in order to keep pace. I wonder if we had a reputable local firm whether we'd want to be associated with football as it has become.

I don't know how much it was worth but these deals have a shelf-life because the benefit to the sponsor/partner company decreases over time. Twelve years is a fair go.

Aviva was putting in nowhere near as much as it was, probably less than a million? This is not new news anyway and has been im the pipeline for some while. There will be, I would imagine, rebranding costs over part of the ground if and when a new partner is found. The challenge will be finding a partner to invest when no-one can go in the ground.

Their support over many years has been remarkable 

I am sure nepotism Tom can do another galway roast deal to fill the gap

Galway Roast would probably be better than Virgin Atlantic

Facing the largest recession we've probably ever seen, I'm not surprised Aviva is clawing back every non essential spend they possibly can.

I'd rather they did their best to keep those 5000 jobs in Norwich than spend it on football sponsorship.

They haven't removed their name from  the revamped lansdowne road stadium. Call me a cynic  but it might have something to do with it being a venue for euro matches , plenty exposure there...if it ever goes ahead.

I also feel that if they could do without the 5000 they employ in Norwich, they would, in a flash....and  may yet.

They're also no longer associated to the binners. Not since they sold the debt ridiculously cheaply to the boy Mucus. With hindsight that was a masterstroke 👏👏👏👏👏

Sadly after the furloughing of staff and taking Tory money to keep us afloat I'm considering  no longer associating with the club. It seems completely opposed to the socialist ideals of being self financed that I espouse. I think I'm going to start following Neman Grodno. Same colours but they haven't relied on a government bailout.

What does associating mean Warren?

If you're unsure of the definition of a word I would try using a search engine. 🖕
