2015 Sponsorship - Who should we sponsor?

Post: # 1528027Post Mr Magic »

I received an update from the Club today as to which players are currently sponsored.
At this stage we are the only sponsor of Josh Bruce and Daniel Markworth has another sponsor besides us.
The Club are asking us who we wish to take - either just renew the 2 from last year or change one/both.

Adam Schneider is the only player on the list without a sponsor.

We currently have pledges to cover 1 player (plus few more shares).
I propose that we sponsor 2 players agains, and lets get out and sell those extra shares.
If we don't sell them then I'll cover the cost again.

As to which players we should sponsor, my personal choice would be
Josh Bruce
Adam Schneider

But we are a democracy so it's up t the majority to decide.
Let me know which players we want to sponsor?

Lets just go with you because unlike a few on here you put in a lot of money. Far to much actually.

The money is a separate issue.
Let those who contribute select the players.

J.Hird.
After his latest comments I must say....I'm worried.
We should chip as a collective group and help the poor guy out.

I haven't contributed since Jason Gram I think (years back) so I know I'm not entitled to vote.

That being said, I feel obligated to say that if we sponsor Adam... well let's just say that I wouldn't vote for that

If you're contributing this year, you are entitled to vote.

I'm leaning towards Josh and Daniel again but more than happy for Josh and Schneids if others prefer. Is that sitting on the fence or what??

Markworth and Bruce for me.

I've got issues sponsoring Schneider given his weird situation as a rookie

Saintsational will sponsor two players and you can take any number of $20 shares. There will be a number of sponsors events throughout the year that one or two of us will be able to go to. Names are drawn out of a hat.

I'd like to advise the Club tomorrow on our choices, so we'll make the decision tonight - let's close this discussion/debate at 10pm.
Those most supported will be our choices.

Hi Mr Magic,

Josh Bruce a definite for me. I am 50/50 on Schneider & Markworth.

Markworth has a sponsor, but Schneids doesn't. Markworth is younger and would appreciate the support.

Of the two, on a toss-up, it's Schneider for me, because of his great contribution to the Club (except his kicking in GF1).

Look I don't want to make a big deal about this but what message are we sending Daniel Markworth if we stop sponsoring him? And is Adam Schneider going to care if we start sponsoring him. Just saying.

I'm with you Gershwin. Love the Schneiderman, but let's stick with Bruce and Markworth, and hope that the poor kid makes it out onto the paddock this year ...

They honestly don't care and if anything the less sponsors the better because when they have a sponsors night they don't have to talk to people who they don't know. Unfortunately that's the truth.

Wow, that is a dark view of things Plugger. Can't help but think that if someone might be sponsoring me I might feel chuffed and if all I had to do was say 'thanks' it ain't a great weight.

I would feel that way if I got the money but they get jack. All they get is to sit with people they don't know and lets face it there would be some ordinary people sponsoring players. There would also be great people. Anyway I can only say what I have heard.

Cheers. Going to ignore what you have heard Plugger and suggest we continue to sponsor the young kids.

I think it's about $20 per share from memory. I don't think there is a maximum amount you can put in, they would just get another player if too much is collected. MM pays for it up front so make sure that if you pledge money you pay up though.

For new or unfamiliar people it might be worth outlining what it actually is…

what the money is for…

what benefits & prizes there are etc etc
