Shirt Sponsorship

[JC_GUFC]

Richie Sadlier was on MNS saying they're finding it hard to find a sponsor - does anyone have an idea how much sponsors are paying to get their names on a team's jersey?

I'd imagine a lot of the sponsors are connected to one of the directors in any case.

I think Budweiser paid us in the region of E50k a year. I don't know if Superleague sponsorship was included in that. That deal ended last year (partly due to restrictions on alcohol advertising apparently) and we've had no sponsors the last year and a half.

Our new shirt was a draw 50 businesses went into a hat- with the winner getting their name and the front and second place getting the back.

£1k a entry.

I think we were supposed to be getting 50k a year last year and this year from Flancare for the ground and jersey, it was more in the Premier. Got 20k for the back of the jersey too I believe.

any news on next years sponsor yet? or are flancare staying?

[Longfordian]

They might stay on for a lesser amount was the last that I heard, don't think there's been any definite decisions. If they didn't stay on I wouldn't be too surprised if Munnellys, our back of the jersey sponsor, took over as main sponsor.

ShopDundalk - 112 shops X €480 = €53760
Crowne Plaza - €20,000 for this on Dundalks sleeves.
No idea how much MatthewsCoach.com paid to put their name on our shorts but last season it would have cost €8,000.

Next season Dundalk's main sponsor is going to be FastFix but no idea how much the deal is worth.

Didn't Finn Harps first come up with this iniatitve, i think years ago their main sponsor was a hotel/restuarant in Co Monaghan ?

Harps fans will know better.

Good idea though, but not much value for the other 48 companies.

Best bit of business we've done in ages.

Actually, only bit of business we've done in ages.

I assume they'd get a match programme ad or something?

I think Waterford ran a similar initiative before we did.

And yeah, we had the Greenmount Restaurant on our Shirts for a year. We also had Borderloo Toilet Hire on the back of them for a year!

We still do a draw for the sponsorship on the back, Donegal Creameries are on the front and seem set to remain.

[OneRedArmy]

your selling yourselfs short,

Yes.

Yes we are.

And not just in relation to shirt sponsorship.
