Sponsor a player in 2008 (indicate interest here)

Hi

I know this is early - but that's kinda why I am putting it up now. We had such problems organizing the player sponsorship this year... I loved it, and would love to be in it again next year... and I wondered/hoped if we could do it again next year. I would also like to see if we could really get our act together, and sponsor one of the established players... which costs more... or maybe 2 of the up-coming players.

I can't remember the person who came up with the most money - I know someone here did... but my memory problems mean I really have no idea.

I think it was really exciting, feeling connected to a player... I'd never seen Brookes play, (still haven't), but I felt much more conencted to the team. So, I was wondering if we can get this organized earlier this time. Last time, we were held back by the slowness of the money coming in, and lots of the players were gone before we had a chance to get in...

Cheers
Mark

Anyone up for it again?

yeah I will be up for it again. I think Brookes girl put a heap in last time.

Count us in again to.

At least if we get in early we may be able to have more choice and maybe able to have some sort of vote thing happen.

i didn't sponsor in 07

but I was in when Ric organised the sponsorship of Gram when folks were calling him a dud and a waste of money and how right they all turned out to be...wait a minute!!!

would seem to be a good idea to start the discussion early

IT would probably be an advantage if people could put their 'donation' in early also: saves alot of stress as per ric and 2007,
and as differant to previous years the sponsors event was EARLY in the year. gives time to distribute.

then may be SS could go it alone;

from some enquiries I made some weeks ago they are looking to keep the prices simliar to last year- was $1,500
divide by 10 = $150
divide by 20= $ 75
divide by 30 = $50
divide by 40 = $37.50
divide by 50 = $30
divide by 100 - $15

ps what happened with the B& F tickets?

JT did a terrific job last year with organising it.

I reckon we should go for a fixed price this year.

i.e. $30 each (50 people total). That way you can find the set number of people you need, and there are no issues with some giving more than others, and trying to work out tickets etc.

Maybe anyone interested in sponsoring could post in this thread, and if there looks like being 50 names, then we go ahead.

barry brooks has taken enough of the clubs money unnecessarily, theres no way the prick was ever getting mine..

I'll put in providing it's a young bloke who's only been with us less than 3 years.

You've piqued my interest, particularly if we can get someone like Gilbo

last time i checked, my job wasn't to play AFL football, and i wasn't earning a quater of what he is... wish i could get paid his money to keep fit and run out on a saturday/sunday afternoon with the 2's.

how many years in the system now?? 5 years for 10 games, and boy hasn't he been good in those games, whoa 3 goals against a lions side which was soooooo good, did they even have a defender on him? i mean a credible 1?

people like you curly are the reason this club is so culturally f***ed up..you believe we can tolerate having hacks like Brooks on our list, and he deserves to be retained after doing nothing for 5 years. 5 f.ing years.

he has shown no improvement in his time at the club and his trade value would be no more than a box of tissues.

jill · Post: # 472408Post **jill** » Tue 09 Oct 2007 4:58pm

I'd like to be part of the sponsorship group & don't care who it is.
GO SAINTERS 2008!!!!!!

I was interested last year then didn't get on here for a while and missed out - count me in this time with plenty of notice.

Oh When the Saints · Tue 09 Oct 2007 8:58pm

Look's like we have about 35 so far. Need to find another 15 people for this to work.

I think $30 each as a flat price should be okay, divided amongst fifty people. It will be easier to operate than having everyone put in varying amounts.

If that's too much for anyone, then something might be worked out between two people.
