Leedscanary 337 Posted October 5, 2009 What exactly do they do for the title sponsorship of our club?Because they sponsor us, I visited their website for a car insurance quote. And very competitive it was too, in fact by far the cheapest I have had.But, what annoyed me was there was no mention of the Club anywhere. You can follow a link to find out about Aviva''s sponsorship of UK Athletics, but not Norwich City. Why is this? They ask you "Where did you hear about Aviva?" - There is a list of options ranging from TV ads to search engines, etc. But is there a Norwich City connection option? No.There is no incentive (discount/gift) to members and S/T holders when taking out insurance. I, for one, think this makes a mockery of a sponsorship deal.It bothers me far more than the ridiculous adverts with Paul Whitehouse!A window popped up to ask me to discuss my insurance needs - so I "spoke" to someone called David to raise these issues. He said he would raise my concerns with his superiors. I doubt he will though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted October 5, 2009 As long as they keep giving the generous amount of money to the club (the largest in League One and bigger than most in the Championship, so I hear), I don''t really care if they mention us or not on their website.Just glad it isn''t mattress man or some Gt Yarmouth mobile phone company.

jimbob 0 Posted October 5, 2009 I had nothing but trouble with Aviva car insurance, all very nice taking your money but when you claim its a nightmare. They tried to get me to accept 50/50 when my car was hit by a car. Churchill the other parties insurance had already phoned me and accepted full blame.Plus managed to get the same policy £300 cheaper per year from BMW insurance.

[/quote]eh ?The current understandng is that a large sum(s) will be paid of when the binners get into the PremiershipPrior to the club being handed over to Evans Aviva had already accepted a deferment on the payments. Evans simply reaffirmed that deferment with the offer of making bigger payments once they went up.Anyone who believes that the money men would accept some miserly figure then watch the binners (Evans actually) fill their boots in the Premiership is exceedingly niave. These comditional payments are perhaps why Evans has no genuine interest in getting the poor old binners promoted - I doubt if he is even that bothered whether they go down either.Clegg was a corporate appointment with a completely different brief - that of maximising the assets ie stadium and training ground. That''s why he has no real knowledge of footbll and certainly no football background. Contrast the two CE''s of our two clubs - then ask youself why they chose to opt for the none football option.As to the dimwits being let off the debt. ABSOLUTELY NOT. They still owe the original amount as well as a few other million or so debts, plus the £8.1m in prefence shares that were raised to cover the annual losses.I would venture that Ronnie Biggs has a brighter future than the binners - at least he still doesn''t owe the money he had away fom the Post Office ! Although Clegg is determined to stem the £2m annual losses incurred by Ipswich TownGreenun 3/8/09 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
