Polar 0 Posted April 29, 2008 if true this sounds good: "Aviva is the world''s fifth-largest insurance group and the biggest in the UK. We are one of the leading providers of life and pensions products in Europe and have substantial businesses elsewhere around the world." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Rider 0 Posted April 29, 2008 Too late - they burnt their bridges as far as I''m concerned when they got into bed with ITFC. It would have to be an EXCEPTIONAL deal combined with a lot of face saving on their part for me to feel comfortable about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Raven 276 Posted April 29, 2008 It wasn''t this announcement then?http://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/content/news/story.aspx?brand=ENOnline&category=BreakingNews&tBrand=ENOnline&tCategory=News&itemid=NOED29%20Apr%202008%2011%3A02%3A08%3A630 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Chris 0 Posted April 29, 2008 Yep, just received confirmation on the AVIVA news. I think its great news! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aka_riise 0 Posted April 29, 2008 So what do we think of this in terms of finance? Massive global company, Top 20 FTSE company, there may be a big pay day behind it. Certainly better than anything else we''ve had in the past. I''m personally very excited by it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polar 0 Posted April 29, 2008 any news on length of deals etc? when do we expect the home and away kit to be released then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unlucky Fried Kitten 0 Posted April 29, 2008 They must have felt guilty about all the financial help they gave those peasants down the road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aka_riise 0 Posted April 29, 2008 It''s all linked. Tthe move to sponsoring us as AVIVA is good business, as fears will be eased easier this way, and met with less skeptisism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted April 29, 2008 Are we sure its not just a rebranding/renewal of the community stand sponsorship? Thats sounds more plausible?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They wont be pumping millions in, the company has been on a cost saving drive for months and lost millions last year due to the floods. I should know, I have to work there everyday.Expect NCFC to start its offshoring process by end of 2008. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.B.C 0 Posted April 29, 2008 How much do you think it will cost them to sponsor us and will this involve other deals with them? With regards to the kit, I still like the Pompey kit by Canterbury, although not too tight thou. Us round people don''t like the skin tight tops......

aka_riise 0 Posted April 29, 2008 Yes you are right, as do I work there too. BUT, the impact that the re-brand will have on the city will be diluted by AVIVA supporting local initiatives, aka NCFC. So my theory is that if they are seen to be supportive in this way, its money well spent, and hopefully there will be plenty of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZLF 274 Posted April 29, 2008 And sponsoring NCFC does not fit with a sponsorship profile of wide spread TV coverage covering a cross section of social classes but predominantly ABC1 groups. If they do sponsor us it will not mean a mega bucks deal, but priced appropriately for a mid table champs club; if they wanted to pay mega bucks it would go to someone that would provide a far greater exposure, ie midtable + premier club.As I said, the more I think about it the more I am convinced this is about renewing the community stand sponsorship...

Surely the idea for them would be to get in to the lucrative football market and be open to other teams too. If so, we should have a kit company that will design a very good kit, not like the last 3 or so kits. I still want the milk cup kit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
