Every innovation helps. And a good news story for a change.
A toss up between this and the LOI finances thread for this but Dan McDonnell has a few numbers on the money the league is costing/ bringing in through sponsorship, league revenue to the FAI is approx €1.5m currently and they're saying it costs them €1.5m which is conveniently coincidental!
https://www.independent.ie/sport/soc...-38519142.html
Quote:
Sponsorship generates north of €400,000 with the bulk of that figure coming from title sponsor Airtricity (sources say the league element of their deal comes in at around €250,000-€300,000), while EA are also key partners.
Similarly, the contract with main broadcast partner RTÉ also includes the rights for two senior international friendlies and women's international matches so clubs are now working off the belief that the value of the LOI element also comes in at around €250,000. Eir Sport pay a smaller six-figure sum for the rights to show games.
The remainder of the €1.5m coming into the FAI coffers is drawn from the clubs themselves in the form of the unpopular affiliation fees (which peaks at €19,000 per Premier Division club), payments for refereeing costs (thought to be around €300,000 per annum) and fine payments (averaging around €70,000).
Where have the FAI suggested they are spending €1.5m? Prize-money payments (€475,000) and match costs (circa €420,000) made up the lion's share in 2017.
Next Monday RTÉ 1

Seems not to be a seasonal thing, like Sligo's was. Considering Northbound sponsors the club anyway, and they already make a lager, it makes complete sense.

Completely different ... sure ours was €1/pint and yours is £1/liter. :pQuote:

It seems to be updated to me now anyway in terms of results and tables. But goals and statistics are not.Quote:

What is the story with the poor quality of graphics LOI clubs are putting out? Been going on a long time now.
Longford appear to be making an effort with theirs but they're actually really poor. But it was Cabinteely's effort today which took the biscuit (https://twitter.com/Cabinteely_FC/st...49312271130624). They'd have been better off with a text only tweet, if that's the best they could come up with.
A lot of the time the approach in the LOI is "sure it'll do", "it's grand", "it's better than nothing", but surely it's not that hard to put decent match graphics / posters together for promotion.
Poor effort that one. I wouldn’t say you’d have to be a graphic designer to improve it.Quote:

If the streaming service sticks around as a long term thing it’s not a bad idea. Can’t see many publicans signing up in the near future though
Christ that’s awful. Surely Larry knows someone with a bit of a creative sideQuote:

Rovers just announced Brian McElroy as our official Funeral Director partner.
Now i know there are a lot of aul lad members like myself hanging around but i think I'm going to choose to not support this particular partner :D , cant see myself going for the Man scapeing either, i'll stick with 888 and have a few bob on something.
Is partnership a new term for sponsor these days? I hope to have more need for rolled ice cream than funeral directors for a few years yet!
Yes. Man Utd have an official tractor partner apparently. I reckon we could sort one of those.

I have to say he came across very well. He sounded extremely professional and thorough. Well worth a listen!

Shels outBohing Bohs in one move.
Natural partnership there to be made with Nottingham Forest.
Lovely idea to be fair. Very much on the pulse of our times.
Agreed. Bohs appointing a climate justice officer did nothing for anyone. This is something tangible. If more companies - and more of us - did the same, it'd create a dent in thingsQuote:

I'm throwing this in here to prevent the transfers thread going off track so it can be discussed further. The more I think of this the worse it becomes. This is a whole new form of gambling advertising that doesn't only promote gambling but promotes irresponsible gambling. Come on Rovers fans put your money on our horse because of its name, don't worry about it's recent form. Absolutely reckless and I'd nearly call for intervention from FAI or Government. Call me hyperbolic all you want it's disgraceful.
Hopefully the horse is better than the yoke they had in 2010. Shamrock fans decided to do a march behind a horse before the Cu Final in 2010. Unfortunately it wasnt a horse, it was only an old pony 😂😂Quote:

Therefore by banning advertising revenue to sports you cut off a lucrative revenue stream. I’m not advocating excess of anything but just weary of things going over the top politically correct.
I'm with you. I don't gamble but I'm not someone with a gambling problem so it doesn't affect me. I can see why people are upset but I think there's a hypocrisy if we say yes gambling is legal but also you can't advertise.Quote:

I'm not really into the snowflake discourse but I'd look unfavourably on any club that associates with the likes of McDonalds. I'm personally against the 888 thing but I know our clubs can't be picky either.
